Third Generation Brightlane™ Switch Advances
Software-Defined Vehicles with Comprehensive Data Security and
Safety Features
SANTA CLARA, Calif. and
MUNICH, May
31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today
introduced its third generation Marvell® Brightlane™ Ethernet
Switch, the industry's most advanced automotive secure managed
switch, and the first with lockstep dual-core Arm processing
redundancy to enable high-reliability for mission-critical
applications that support vehicle safety and performance. As the
leading digital framework for next-generation Ethernet-based zonal
architectures, the new automotive switch also includes a suite of
advanced security and networking features, along with increased
bandwidth and port counts as compared to the previous
generation.
The third generation Brightlane Ethernet Switch is a
high-performance, fully integrated design that incorporates IEEE
802.1AE-2018-compliant Media Access Control security (MACsec)
protocols and an embedded Hardware Security Module (eHSM) for
software authentication and data encryption. It also integrates
10Base-T1S capabilities into an automotive Ethernet switch for the
first time, along with 100/1000Base-T1 PHYs, 2.5G/10G SerDes and
PCIe Gen3 ports, reducing the number of components and security
threat surfaces. In addition, the Brightlane Ethernet Switch
supports the latest Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards to
reduce latency and ensure quality of service (QoS) for essential
vehicular connectivity, including the IEEE 802.1CB standard for
data redundancy.
"The move to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is a rapidly
emerging megatrend in the automotive industry because
software-centric architectures not only will enable over-the-air
software updates for existing in-vehicle systems, but they will
make possible entirely new aftermarket services and applications to
continuously improve safety and driving experiences over time,"
said Ian Riches, vice president for
the Global Automotive Practice, Strategy Analytics. "As a result,
security and safety is foundational to these networks, and
Marvell's new secure managed Ethernet switch integrates all the
essential elements to drive the SDV revolution forward."
"As the newest Brightlane Ethernet switch in our portfolio, this
innovative design is targeted at the core need to ensure the
security of next-generation in-vehicle networks and the data they
carry," said Mike Yeager, vice
president and general manager, Automotive Business Unit, Marvell.
"Our end-to-end optimization for software-defined, zonal
architectures, advanced security, increased bandwidth and PHY
integration is driving design win momentum for Marvell's Ethernet
products among top auto manufacturers and OEM partners."
The new Brightlane Ethernet Switch is designed to meet the
requirements of the ISO 26262 ASIL-B safety standard and comes in
two versions: The 88Q5152/51 version is a nine-port design, while
the 88Q5192 version is a 16-port design. The third generation
Brightlane Ethernet Switch is part of Marvell's complete portfolio
of automotive Brightlane Ethernet switches, PHY transceivers and
bridges, which support speeds from 100Mbps to 10Gbps and feature
the enhanced safety and security features required for today's and
tomorrow's in-vehicle networks. For more information, please
