3 Summary

In summary, the adoption of new E/E architectures, such as zonal networks, to support next-generation vehicle technologies is increasing network performance and security requirements. Programmable hardware-based networking accelerators, such as TI’s NPAC, are the most efficient method of meeting the performance requirements while freeing up compute resources for other tasks. TI’s NPAC architecture scales based on networking requirements and can be found in the TDA5x Jacinto™ family of high-performance ADAS processors as well as TI’s MCU zonal controllers.
