³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Introduces Industry¡¯s First Automotive Ethernet Switch with Lockstep Dual-Core Reliability for Safer Vehicles

Third Generation Brightlane? Switch Advances Software-Defined Vehicles with Comprehensive Data Security and Safety Features

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and MUNICH, Germany ¡ª May 31, 2022¡ª ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ (NASDAQ: MRVL) today introduced its third generation ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ? Brightlane? Ethernet Switch, the industry¡¯s most advanced automotive secure managed switch, and the first with lockstep dual-core Arm processing redundancy to enable high-reliability for mission-critical applications that support vehicle safety and performance. As the leading digital framework for next-generation Ethernet-based zonal architectures, the new automotive switch also includes a suite of advanced security and networking features, along with increased bandwidth and port counts as compared to the previous generation.

The third generation Brightlane Ethernet Switch is a high-performance, fully integrated design that incorporates IEEE 802.1AE-2018-compliant Media Access Control security (MACsec) protocols and an embedded Hardware Security Module (eHSM) for software authentication and data encryption. It also integrates 10Base-T1S capabilities into an automotive Ethernet switch for the first time, along with 100/1000Base-T1 PHYs, 2.5G/10G SerDes and PCIe Gen3 ports, reducing the number of components and security threat surfaces. In addition, the Brightlane Ethernet Switch supports the latest Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards to reduce latency and ensure quality of service (QoS) for essential vehicular connectivity, including the IEEE 802.1CB standard for data redundancy.

¡°The move to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is a rapidly emerging megatrend in the automotive industry because software-centric architectures not only will enable over-the-air software updates for existing in-vehicle systems, but they will make possible entirely new aftermarket services and applications to continuously improve safety and driving experiences over time,¡± said Ian Riches, vice president for the Global Automotive Practice, Strategy Analytics. ¡°As a result, security and safety is foundational to these networks, and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ¡¯s new secure managed Ethernet switch integrates all the essential elements to drive the SDV revolution forward.¡±

¡°As the newest Brightlane Ethernet switch in our portfolio, this innovative design is targeted at the core need to ensure the security of next-generation in-vehicle networks and the data they carry,¡± said Mike Yeager, vice president and general manager, Automotive Business Unit, ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. ¡°Our end-to-end optimization for software-defined, zonal architectures, advanced security, increased bandwidth and PHY integration is driving design win momentum for ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ¡¯s Ethernet products among top auto manufacturers and OEM partners.¡±

The new Brightlane Ethernet Switch is designed to meet the requirements of the ISO 26262 ASIL-B safety standard and comes in two versions: The 88Q5152/51 version is a nine-port design, while the 88Q5192 version is a 16-port design. The third generation Brightlane Ethernet Switch is part of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ¡¯s complete portfolio of automotive Brightlane Ethernet switches, PHY transceivers and bridges, which support speeds from 100Mbps to 10Gbps and feature the enhanced safety and security features required for today¡¯s and tomorrow¡¯s in-vehicle networks.?
