Automotive/Advanced Pixel Link (APIX2)

The Automotive/Advanced Pixel Link (APIX) 2nd generation is used for fast data transfer (up to 3 Gbit/s) across long distances (12m) using simple screened twisted cables. By reducing the data rate for longer distances, 40m connections are still possible as in APIX. Primary applications are for automobiles, particularly: driver information display (Cluster), rearview cameras (ADAS) and fellow passenger entertainment (Infotainment/RSE). HD quality images can be transported around vehicles in real time.

This new generation of APIX provides features like an MII (Ethernet), GPIO pins with lowest latency and an APIX1 mode (receiver) for backward compatibility.
