Backbone of Automotive Safety Systems
Safety features have always been important in the automotive industry; it has certainly become the most critical requirement for autonomous vehicles. Have you ever wondered what technology makes it possible for multiple sensors located at front, rear sections and inside the doors to work in a coordinated manner for early crash detection and operate the vehicles air bags thereby protecting precious human life?
The Motorola SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) and its variants have been a popular choice among system designers thanks to low pin count and compact design features. With growing safety requirements, an industry standard interface is required now, more than ever, to avoid multiple vendor interfaces with custom drivers. SafeSPI industry standard is designed to support the time sensitive requirements of active and passive safety systems alongside qualities of SPI.
