6 Summary

As vehicles transition from domain based architectures to zonal architectures, AVB technology can be used to enable synchronized audio throughout vehicles. This comes with the benefit of reducing cost and weight of audio cable harnesses. Using TI PHYs for audio clock generation can additionally simplify design complexity and reduce cost by removing the need for an external clock generator.
