Pagani Huayra BC Supercar Shines with Advanced Microchip’s MOST Technology
One of the world’s most high-tech sports coupes uses cutting-edge technology to power its premium surround sound audio and infotainment system.
Pagani Automobili’s Huayra BC supercar incorporates intelligent network interface controllers (INICs) from Microchip Technology. These INICs are employed across various vehicle ranges, from compact cars to luxury sports cars like the Huayra BC. Specifically, Pagani uses Microchip’s OS81050 INIC to handle video, audio, packet, and control data throughout the car.
“Most technology allows Pagani to develop a top-tier, exclusive, and premium audio system for the Huayra BC without any compromises,” says Hannes Zanon, marketing director of Pagani Automobili. “We’re thrilled that Most technology provides a flexible platform for us to create outstanding features for our discerning customers.”
The standards set by Most Cooperation ensure automotive manufacturers and their top suppliers can deliver high-quality digital multi-channel audio streaming. This high-bandwidth infotainment approach offers robust system management, control, reliability, and quality of service.
Additionally, using Most technology reduces vehicle weight by transmitting control and audio data over lightweight plastic optical fibers.
“The Huayra BC is an incredible supercar, and we’re excited that our Most technology is part of its infotainment system, offering superior digital audio quality,” said Dan Termer, vice president of Microchip’s automotive information systems division. “Pagani selected Most for their most advanced Huayra Coupé yet, now equipped with a versatile and feature-rich infotainment system.”
To support development, Most technology includes a comprehensive suite of tools, software, and support. Available tools include the Optolyzer Mocca family and Optolyzer Studio from K2L; software options are Most Linux driver or Most NetServices; and additional resources like Most Check for schematics and layout reviews. Companion IC products for multimedia include video encoding, DTCP content protection, IO expansion, and power management.
