Samsung introduces three new automotive chips

Samsung Electronics continues to invest in the automobile market. The company unveils three new automotive chips: the Exynos Auto T5123 for 5G connectivity, the Exynos Auto V7 for in-car infotainment systems, and the PMIC (power management integrated circuits) S2VPS01 ASIL-B certified for the Auto V series.

Samsung continues its interest in the automobile industry. The company, which has made a name for itself with the processors it produces, has announced 3 new chipsets that can facilitate the work of drivers in in-car use. The company, which recently agreed with Volkswagen, has already put its processors on the road.

The newly introduced 3 processors will not directly affect driving comfort. Samsung focuses more on chipsets that will work in infotainment and power units.

Jaehong Park, Executive Vice President of System LSI Custom SOC Business at Samsung Electronics, said: “Smarter, more connected automotive technologies for enriched in-car experiences, including entertainment, safety, and comfort, are becoming essential features on the road. With an advanced 5G modem, an AI-enhanced multi-core processor, and a market-proven PMIC solution, Samsung is transferring its expertise in mobile solutions into its automotive range and positioning itself to expand its presence in this area.”

Samsung, which will work on a different topic with each processor, has already started sending its processors to Volkswagen. The first of these semiconductors, the Exynos T5123, is responsible for providing in-vehicle 5G connectivity. The company said the processor will help provide essential information to a vehicle in real-time, with fast download speeds of up to 5.1 gigabits. In addition, this processor is expected to allow passengers to access high-definition content streaming and make video calls.

The Exynos Auto V7, which will run the in-car entertainment system, will be installed in medium and high-end vehicles. The chipset supports up to 4 displays and 12 camera inputs to assist drivers. In addition, V7 has capabilities such as dynamic range compression and correction of geometric distortions to provide a smoother experience on imaging systems.

Another member of the series, S2VPS01 Power IC, will help drivers in power consumption issues in terms of general structure. The chipset, which will deal more with the interior of the vehicle, will not directly affect the driver and passengers. In addition, the processor will help the Exynos Auto V7 chipset to work more efficiently and properly.

Samsung has announced that the Exynos Auto V7 is deployed on Volkswagen’s latest in-car app server 3.1 developed by LG. The new generation of processors, which are now waiting for the use of drivers, have already started to be a matter of curiosity. Let’s see if Samsung can get a return on its investments in the automobile industry.
