All A 2B transceivers are capable of distributing audio and control data together with clock and power over a single, unshielded, low cost twisted-pair wire. ADI set about it a better way – initially with the AD2410 and most recently with the AD242x family of enhanced A 2B transceivers. Traditional implementations for high fidelity audio in automobiles required a large amount of expensive, heavy cabling. Leading automotive manufacturers approached ADI about developing technology that could support multiple microphone arrays in vehicles to enable different applications such as voice recognition, active noise cancellation, and in-car communications. But add in the advanced, feature-rich infotainment experience that car manufacturers, and millions of drivers, increasingly expect – along with better gas mileage.Īnalog Devices is helping to solve this challenge with the Automotive Audio Bus ® (A 2B) digital audio bus technology, which delivers high fidelity audio for automobiles while significantly reducing the weight of existing cable harnesses (by upwards of 75% in key applications) – resulting in improved vehicle fuel efficiency. Taking on today’s automotive design challenges often starts with what you take out.
