CSR announced that LG Innotek, the leading materials and components technology supplier and longtime CSR automotive partner, has adopted the CSRC9300™ – a solution for advanced infotainment and connectivity features in vehicles.
The auto-grade chip, which combines high-speed Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® v4.1 with complementary audio capabilities, will be used by LG Innotek for its latest automotive connectivity module, the RBHA-C215A. The combination of these technologies will unlock exciting use cases such as keyless entry, harness reduction via Bluetooth Smart, Mirrorlink and Miracast capabilities for sharing video screens, high fidelity hands free calls with wideband speech and CD like audio performance when listening to music over Bluetooth with aptX®. The Wi-Fi capabilities of the CSRC9300 mean the module can deliver high bandwidth connections for multi-user Wi-Fi hotspots as well as multiple video streams.
CSRC9300 is a cost optimized connectivity component with a low external BOM which means module designers like LG Innotek can save space in their designs as well as benefit from a low complexity design due to the high levels of integration. Module designers can also visit CSR support for all of the technical collateral to design high quality solutions including datasheets, example designs and application notes.
