Dutch connectivity solutions provider 566 NXP Semiconductors has partnered with China-based connected car manufacturer Changan Automobile to develop solutions for infotainment and connected vehicle technologies.


The long-term agreement has two phases; the first phase is focused on excellence in infotainment, products, solutions and the development of industry standards for future vehicle semiconductors. In the second phase, Changan will apply NXP’s vehicle-to-X (V2X) communication, near field communication (NFC) identification, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and joint R&D to further transform automobiles into mobile information hubs.

Changan has built its infotainment system around NXP’s family of i.MX application processors. Under the agreement, Changan will now upgrade its systems to NXP’s next-generation i.MX 8 processors and will also apply the Dirana family of car radio tuners and DSPs (SAF775x), audio amplifiers, power management ICs and CAN transceivers.

These integrations will take Changan’s ‘InCall’ smart infotainment system to the next level, ensuring its market leading position in a competitive market environment.
