STMicroelectronics Accordo 5 automotive processors

Click2Contact

STMicroelectronics’ Accordo 5 family of automotive processors meet users’ display-performance and security demands in a low-power, compact platform. The devices enable the construction of digital instrument clusters and audio/video/navigation (AVN) head units by integrating the complete graphics, video and audio functionality on-chip to simplify assembly.

The devices provide features that have high value for car drivers, including smartphone mirroring that gives access to content such as music and navigation services on the phone safely through the vehicle’s own user interface. The host processor and high-performance video and graphics engines can present complex information displays, such as simultaneous user-interface plus rear-view camera with navigation and video preview. There is also video playback for major formats including H.264 and DivX, 2D and 3D graphics with effects such as blending and overlays, as well as USB connections and SD-Card interfaces.

The chips also integrate a high-performance microcontroller that secures the interface between the head unit and the main vehicle network. Built-in features of the microcontroller include boot-code authentication, secure interconnect and high-performance data encryption.
