Synaptics and Murata Manufacturing have announced that they are partnering to develop a next-generation turnkey wireless connectivity module for automotive Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs.
As part of this partnership, Synaptics’ Veros Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo systems on chips (SoCs)—featuring highly integrated RF front-ends—will be designed into a module co-developed with Murata. Synaptics’ wireless SoCs are optimised to balance performance, low system design cost, and low power consumption while maintaining excellent throughput at the high temperatures required by automotive applications.
Solutions for the automotive market require robustness under harsh operating conditions, interoperability in varied environments, and longevity. Synaptics is now applying its Veros portfolio, which brings together decades of field-hardened technology and IoT connectivity expertise, to provide long-term support for automotive manufacturers.
Its SYN4383 Wi-Fi 6E and SYN4384 Wi-Fi 7 automotive products are pin-to-pin compatible, with software upgradability, and the SYN4390 delivers high-throughput Wi-Fi 7 to this application. A recent acquisition demonstrates Synaptics’ solid wireless roadmap, including Wi-Fi 8, to meet next-generation automotive innovation requirements.
“Murata continues to advance RF and wireless module design, delivering high-performance, miniaturised components engineered for optimal integration in next-generation systems,” said Masatomo Hashimoto, Director, Communication Module Division, Communication & Sensor Business Unit, Murata. “Synaptics shares our commitment to high-quality products and engineering, and we are excited to collaborate on innovative wireless modules for the automotive market, combining Veros SoCs with Murata’s long-standing expertise and track record in compact, reliable module design.”
