In combination with an INAP375R APIX2 receiver, the INAP375T transmitter device offers a high speed digital serial link for display and camera applications. It provides a DC-balanced, AC coupled low latency, point-to-point link over shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. Its scalable physical layer provides bandwidth of up to 3 Gbps at lowest EMI. The INAP375T supports popular automotive displays with video resolutions such as 1600x600 pixels and refresh rates of up to 100Hz or full HD 720p displays. The device offers a flexible video interface, configurable to handle 1 or 2 independent video streams, with input interfaces such as parallel RGB (1x24 Bit or 2x10 Bit) or openLDI (“LVDS”) e.g. 2x (4 lanes + clock). Software adjustable driver characteristics and configurable operating modes allow the transmission of 3 GBs at distances of up to 12m over a single pair of wires. In addition to the video transmission the INAP375T provides completely independent Full Duplex Communication channels. With a Media Independent Interface (MII), the INAP375T can be directly connected to an ethernet Media Access Controller, offering full network capabilities through the APIX link. Additionally, the link is optimized to carry low latency GPIO signals for reset or synchronization purposes. The built-in audio path allows synchronous transmission of up to 4 stereo audio channels, with precise clock regeneration at the receiver for high-end rear-seat entertainment.

Both devices are available in a 100 pin LQFP or a lower cost 104pin aQFN package. All devices are Automotive temperature grade and fully AEC Q100 qualified.
A respective ADK (Application Developers Kit) is also available, enabling development engineers to evaluate the devices and jumpstart system.

The INAP590T is a high-speed digital multi-channel SerDes transmitter for infotainment applications. The highly scalable physical layer is APIX2 compatible and based on the APIX3 technology providing forward compatibility accordingly. It establishes a DC-balanced, AC coupled, low latency, point-to-point link over Star Quad (STQ) cables.

The INAP590T supports popular automotive displays with HD (High Definition) video resolutions up to 24 bit color depth. The device offers an HDMI 1.4 compliant video interface. Leveraging the HDMI 3D functionality, the device is able to receive and distinguish 2 independent video streams for transmission over the APIX2 link in point-to-point or daisy-chain applications.

The product version INAP590T supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection according to HDCP 1.4. It incorporates the encryption mechanisms as well as the required keys to transmit two independent streams of HDCP 1.4 encoded video and audio content over the APIX2 link.

In addition to the video transmission, the INAP590T provides independent full-duplex data communication channels. Using Inova's proprietary AShell protocol, secure data transfers are provided by error detection and automatic retransmission mechanisms. With its Media Independent Interfaces (MII/RMII), the INAP590T can directly connect to standard 100Mbit-Ethernet Media Access Controllers. Additionally, the link is optimized to carry low latency GPIO signals for reset or synchronization purposes. The built-in audio path allows synchronous TDM transmission of up to 8 audio channels, with accurate clock regeneration at the receiver for demanding infotainment applications. The high-speed serial driver can be pre-configured to adjust the characteristics of the physical layer to the transmission link and its specific PCB layout, cables and connectors.

Both devices are available in a 151pin aQFN package, at Automotive temperature grade and fully AEC Q100 qualified.

A respective ADK (Application Developers Kit) is also available, enabling development engineers to evaluate the devices and jumpstart system.

The INLC100Q16 is an RGB LED driver and controller chip. It is a mixed signal silicon device in a 16-lead WETQFN package. To build up LED chains, several INLC100Q16 devices or other ISELED products can be daisy-chained via a differential bidirectional serial bus. For that purpose, the INLC100Q16 device can also function as a converter of single-ended to differential bus signals only. The device provides all features required to calibrate the defined brightness of each LED individually. Calibration of the wavelength of the green and blue LED allow a 1 step Mac Adam accurate calibration of a defined white point. The red, green, and blue LEDs can be individually controlled. The current as well as the duty cycle can be adjusted for each LED. In a LED chain, each device is individually addressable via the serial bus. A proprietary bus protocol is used, optimized for this particular application.

The device is available in Automotive temperature grade and qualified according to the AEC-Q100 automotive standards.
