Gowin Semiconductor has been manufacturing automotive grade FPGA devices since 2018. The chip architecture and module design utilizes design specifications, wafer casting, packaging and testing standards which are strictly in accordance with automotive-grade requirements. GOWIN partners with world class manufacturers such as TSMC and ASE to ensure best-in-class product reliability to serve the automotive markets.
Gowin AEC-Q100 automotive qualified devices are in production, which are ideal for interfacing and bridging of camera and displays in ADAS, 360 surround view, infotainment and LCD dashboard applications as well as electrical system control, monitoring and management. This is due to Gowin FPGA’s high IO count and flexible high speed interfacing capabilities as well as the ability to develop custom systems within a single chip to reduce total BOM costs.

LCD Dashboard and Infotainment Many automotive displays are irregular in size and are custom to vehicle design. As a result, the video stream to drive these displays will be unique, may use different interfacing types and may require special buffering or frame rate adjustment.
Gowin FPGAs provide the flexibility to interface to virtually any type of display and manipulate the video stream to target the variety of cases demanded in today’s vehicles. |
