MOST Technology, combined with a luxury sports coupe equipped with the world's most advanced technology
Implementation of premium surround sound audio and infotainment with various functions

High-end sports cars equipped with state-of-the-art technology can now offer premium surround sound audio and infotainment system features through MOST® (Media Oriented Systems Transport) technology.

Microchip Technology (North Asia General Manager and Korea Representative: Han Byung-don)’s MOST INIC (Intelligent Network Interface Controller) technology has been newly adopted in Pagani Automobili’s Huayra BC supercar.

MOST INIC supports the implementation of infotainment systems in all vehicle types, ranging from compact cars to high-end sports cars such as the Huayra BC, and Pagani uses Microchip's OS81050 INIC to transmit video, audio, packet, and control data throughout the vehicle.

Hannes Zanon, Marketing Director at Pagani, said, “Based on the highest quality network provided by MOST technology, we were able to develop an unprecedented premium high-end audio system for the Huayra BC,” adding, “We are pleased to have built a flexible platform with MOST technology to develop exciting applications that can satisfy Pagani’s discerning customers.”

Through the MOST Cooperation standard, automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers provide the highest quality digital multi-channel audio streamingIt is feasible. MOST is a proven methodology for defining and implementing high-bandwidth infotainment, providing a robust method for system management and control along with outstanding reliability and Quality of Services (QoS). Additionally, using MOST technology allows for reduced vehicle body weight because control and audio data are transmitted via lightweight plastic optical fibers (POF).

Dan Termer, Vice President of Microchip’s Automotive Information Systems business unit, stated, “We are pleased that MOST technology has been adopted in the infotainment system of the captivating supercar, the Huayra BC, to provide high-quality digital audio,” and added, “By selecting MOST technology for the Huayra Coupe, an unprecedented concentration of cutting-edge technology, Pagani is able to enjoy a flexible and versatile infotainment system.”

MOST technology provides a complete ecosystem combining tools, software, and support to assist engineers in their development work. Tools available include K2L’s OptoLyzer® MOCCA product family and OptoLyzer Studio, while the software stack can utilize MOST Linux® drivers or MOST NetServices. Additionally, schematic and layout inspection tools such as MOST Check are available, and multimedia IC products include video encoding, DTCP content protection, I/O expansion, and power management products.
