NXP to Acquire Automotive Networking Pioneer Aviva Links, Accelerating Asymmetrical ASA Multi-Gigabit Connectivity in Software Defined Vehicles
17 Diciembre 2024 - 7:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI), the worldwide leader in
automotive processing and networking, announced today that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Aviva Links, a
provider of Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA) compliant in-vehicle
connectivity solutions in an all-cash transaction valued at $242.5
million.
Increased adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)
and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), such as in-cabin digital
cockpits for software-defined vehicles (SDVs), requires
highly-asymmetric camera and display networks with high downstream
and low upstream bandwidth. Today’s proprietary, sole sourced
asymmetrical links limit automakers to non-standardized
solutions.
Aviva Links brings the industry’s most advanced ASA compliant
portfolio, supporting SerDes point-to-point (ASA-ML) and
Ethernet-based connectivity (ASA-MLE) with data rates up to 16
Gbps. The company has secured design wins at two major automotive
OEMs and is sampling its devices to various OEMs and Tier-1
suppliers.
The Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA), formed in 2019 with NXP as
a founding member, helps participating automakers to migrate to
open source, interoperable networking solutions that best meet the
needs of their increasingly software-defined vehicle offerings. ASA
brings an open standard with data rates scalable from 2 Gbps to 16
Gbps and it includes link-layer security. In addition to
establishing SerDes point-to-point communication, the standard
addresses the seamless migration to efficient Ethernet-based sensor
connectivity.
NXP market intelligence expects the addressable market for ADAS
and IVI asymmetrical links to grow from $1 billion in 2024 to $2
billion in 20341. Aviva Links’ acquisition by NXP is expected to
help boost this growth by shifting the market from today’s
proprietary links to open standard ASA SerDes connections. The
acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2025
subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory
approvals.
“NXP is one of ASA’s founding partners, and we are thrilled to
add asymmetrical multi-gigabit ASA links to our portfolio. This
complements and expands our leadership position in automotive
networking solutions ranging from CAN and LIN to Ethernet switches
and physical layer devices. This portfolio enables us to offer OEMs
complete networking solutions directly, making the software-defined
vehicle a reality,” said Meindert van den Beld, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of In-vehicle Networking at NXP.
“Furthermore, we are excited to have Aviva Links’ highly
knowledgeable team join NXP’s automotive innovation ranks.”
With over 150 members today, Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA)
represents the complete automotive ecosystem, including car
manufacturers like BMW, Ford, Stellantis and General Motors,
tier-one suppliers, semiconductor vendors, cable and connector
manufacturers, test tool vendors, and test houses. As one of the
founding members, the BMW Group is the first car manufacturer to
have publicly announced series production with ASA-ML this
decade.
