<TI's 'Jacinto' Processor>

TI's Embedded and Analog Components Provide
Volkswagen with Faster Processing Speed and Enhanced Connectivity

TI announced that it is collaborating with Volkswagen to provide a new infotainment platform with enhanced performance, flexibility, and adaptability. Volkswagen's MIB II infotainment platform adopts TI's 'Jacinto' processor, power management IC, FPD-Link III serializer and deserializer. TI's devices provide enhanced processing performance, platform scalability, and responsive user interfaces on this platform.

The MIB II platform adopts TI's 'Jacinto' infotainment processor product family (Jacinto 5 Eco and Jacinto 6), enabling multiple vehicles to be equipped with next-level performance and functionality. These processors deliver responsive user interaction through high-resolution capacitive touch displays and implement enhanced graphics performance, providing faster processing speeds. Additionally, by leveraging the scalability of the 'Jacinto' product family, it can support four different head unit configurations depending on the vehicle model.

The 'Jacinto' device serves as a core component of the MIB II platform being developed by partners such as German electronics company TechniSat and American automotive parts supplier Delphi, accelerating hardware to implement the latest connectivity options including Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and MirrorLink® in Volkswagen's Car-Net suite.

Curt Moore, head of TI's Automotive Processor division, stated, "Through the MIB II platform, TI and Volkswagen sought to enhance user experience while providing various levels of processing performance depending on the vehicle model. With TI's 'Jacinto' infotainment processor, this platform can now provide enhanced mobile connectivity options. Additionally, with higher resolution and more responsive user interfaces, it is now possible to improve the overall user experience."
