[{"type":"text","content":"Market leader of in-vehicle network technology introduces third generation of secure automotive gigabit Ethernet PHY\n\n\nSANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today introduced the industry's first automotive gigabit Ethernet PHY solution with integrated media access control security (MACsec) technology for secure point to point communication. With nearly a billion connected cars projected to be on the road by 2030, the integration of security becomes an important factor in tomorrow's vehicles. MACsec technology fortifies in-vehicle networking by securing data exchange on a hop-by-hop basis and prevents Layer 2 security threats such as intrusion, man-in-the-middle, and replay attacks. Marvell's new Open Alliance TC10 compliant, dual speed 100/1000 BASE-T1 88Q222xM Ethernet PHY enables energy efficient, secure in-vehicle networks and assists in achieving functional safety compliance at the system level.\nAutomotive networks rely heavily on partial networking in which some segments are hibernated and woken up on demand. Marvell's new gigabit PHY supports the Open Alliance TC10 for sleep mode and wake-up, tailored for automotive use cases. TC10 control signals are sent over the data line and minimize the need for special cables for remote control of the PHY states. Rapid electrification of vehicles has resulted in reduced power budget for each component. As the industry's lowest power gigabit Ethernet PHY and with support of TC10, Marvell's 88Q222xM aids tier1s and OEMs to design energy efficient in-vehicle network architectures.\n\"Marvell is committed to developing innovative solutions for the automotive market and offers the industry's largest portfolio of secure Ethernet switches and PHYs,\" said Amir Bar-Niv, vice president of Marketing of the Automotive Business Unit at Marvell. \"We are extremely proud to introduce the industry's first automotive gigabit Ethernet PHY that integrates Layer 2 security through MACsec while also delivering best-in-class lower power performance that meets the most stringent power budget. Marvell's 88Q222x solution is based on the Automotive QMS Process and comes with functional safety collateral assisting tier-1s and OEMs in fulfilling ISO 26262 at a system level.\"\n\"With ever increasing data and intelligence in the connected cars, the need for comprehensive c...
