Cluster Instrument
APIX Multichannel SerDes Products are used in cluster instruments in cars. Beside the mechanical instruments, clusters include small displays in all car segments. Premium cars are starting to use display only based clusters without any mechanical instrument.
The APIX links are used from Head units to clusters or from the cluster to an optional Head up display for video and data transfer. Also the use of the embedded ethernet cabability is popular for on board diagnostic communication or flashing cluster control subsystems during the manufacturing process or for updates during car maintenance.
