Interface and Memory IP
Cadence’s complete portfolio of interface and memory IP provides all the links from the user interface to the internal electronics of the infotainment system. Our interface IP solutions provide controllers/PHYs for cameras connecting via a MIPI interface, charging connectors through a USB interface, updating maps through an SD interface, [verb-ing] to high-definition displays, playing music through a SATA interface, or communicating via high-speed Automotive Ethernet with other systems. Internally, our widely used memory IP PHY and controllers keep data streaming throughout the system.
