     Microchip Technology has announced that General Motors (GM) has selected Microchip's MOST(Media Oriented Systems Transport) intelligent Network Interface controller (INIC). Manage automotive infotainment system network functions on its global compact vehicle platform, Models covered include the Chevy Cruze, Chevy Volt, Opel Astra, Buick Excelle and Buick Verano, among others. In addition to these GM compact models, the synchronous, flexible and cost-effective MOST networking technology is used across all GM vehicle brands in midsize, large, performance, crossover and SUV, truck, and luxury platforms.

     As the substantive standard for networked systems, MOST technology is used by 30 automotive manufacturing brands and more than 204 models worldwide. Models based on MOST technology are already being produced in markets around the world, including North America, Asia and Europe. The ability of MOST networks to support multiple data types simultaneously allows automakers to provide a flexible system and feature set for current and future automotive infotainment applications, while also helping to reduce harness weight to better meet environmental regulations.

     The Microchip MOST50 INIC device used by GM infotainment networks has an optimized electrical physical layer (ePHY), can use UTP(unshielded twisted pair) copper wire, and meets the stringent EMC standards of the automotive industry. MOST INics provide an industry-standard hardware interface to the processor and peripherals for efficient transmission of audio, video, packets, and control data, greatly simplifying module design. With the ultra-fast network startup feature of MOST Inics, end users can instantly access the in-vehicle infotainment system.

     Dan Termer, Microchip's vice president of Automotive Information Systems, said: "The deployment of MOST technology on GM's compact vehicle platform further strengthens Microchip's MOST system solutions position in the global automotive market. Outside the luxury car market, the device has been recognized and favored by various production vehicle platforms, fully confirming its excellent value. With the synchronization inherent in MOST technology and the intelligent use of network bandwidth, automakers are able to provide cost-effective network features. Another advantage is Microchip's excellent systems-based application engineering support throughout the platform development process for automakers."

     As a high-speed networking technology developed by and for automakers, MOST is gaining increasing recognition in the global market. MOST Cooperation, the organization responsible for developing and refining the MOST technical specification, has announced the commencement of the process to transfer the MOST specification to ISO(International Organization for Standardization) in order to enhance the convenience of the specification through an internationally recognized and recognized standardization organization. And establish a set of international standards that meet OEM requirements for long-term stability, maintenance and reliability. The initiative follows international norms for sustainable development and welcomes the participation of global stakeholders.
