Zonal Controller Application Overview


Zonal architecture groups your systems together based on their physical location rather than function. This approach involves keeping controllers and devices in close proximity to each other, which reduces the cable length. These zones are then connected to a central cluster that provides high-speed computing power for the vehicle. This modularity offers a multitude of benefits for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), including adopting a common backbone for standardized connectivity, which helps reduce logistical challenges and expedite the automation of assembly.

To enable an in-vehicle network that utilizes zonal controllers, we offer Ethernet PHYs, switches and endpoints, USB, power, storage and timing products for your design.
