Automotive Network Communication
The platform configuration of automotive network communication has been changing because motor vehicles are rapidly becoming electrified and digitalized. Toshiba offers automotive network communication devices that meet the needs of the times. The automotive communication protocol standard CXPI has a high-speed response suitable for networks of automotive body system applications such as steering switches, light switches etc. or interfaces of zone ECUs. Moreover, its multiplex communication brings about reduction of the number of wiring harnesses, helping to reduce vehicle body weight.
What is CXPI?
CXPI(Clock Extension Peripheral Interface) is an international standard (ISO 20794) for automotive communication protocols.
This standard which provides a multiplex communication method was established for next-generation automotive sub-networks to bring about reduction of the number of wiring harnesses of HMI(Human Machine Interface) devices, helping to reduce vehicle body.
CXPI is superior to LIN in terms of two-way communication between a commander and responders, large-capacity data transfer, and high-speed response.
Application examples
- Steering switches
- Combination switches
- Light switches
- Door latch, Door mirror
- Power seat, Seat heater
- Body system applications
Positioning and benefits of CXPI
LIN communication has been widely used in conventional automotive body applications. However, LIN communication uses periodic transmissions and responses from the commander node to the responder nodes, making it difficult to apply to applications such as switches that require responsiveness. However, CXPI can be sent from either the commander node or the responder node.
Additionally, it is possible to efficiently send and receive data from a variety of applications, since it is a protocol that can handle large amounts of data at once compared to LIN.
