German car market Audi has signed a collaboration agreement with Massachusetts; US based signal processing technology developer Analog Devices to collaborate on automotive solutions.
Both the companies will collaborate strategically in Audi's Progressive Semiconductor Program (PSCP) which aims to increase engagement with semiconductor suppliers to offer enhanced functionality and solution which will improve reliability of its future cars.
As part of the collaboration, ADI will provide technologies to Audi to support in development innovative and appealing vehicles, the company said.
ADI will offer technologies to help in optimized system partitioning, starting from sensing to signal conditioning, via digitization and signal processing in Powertrain, Safety, and Infotainment Systems.
Analog Devices Strategic Business Segments group executive vice president Robbie McAdam said the company is developing tailored solutions to be ready for when Audi launches its next generation car platforms.
"We are confident that by combining Audi's system expertise with ADI's strength in signal conditioning ICs we'll provide efficient and optimal solutions," McAdam said.
