The new technology is expected to enable the internal wiring of a mobile device to be streamlined through a single cable (copper wire).
The newly-developed technology has achieved bi-directional transmission of several kinds of signals, including video, audio and control signals, by using time division duplex and multiplex.
In addition, the DC power is supplied on the same signal cable, and Sony’s encoding technology with DC balance enables both DC power supply and high speed data to be transmitted within a limited frequency bandwidth.
In order to begin practical implementation of this technology, Sony has teamed up with Rohm for the joint development and technical validation of the analog portion of the test chip.
Sony will grant Rohm a license for the IP of the digital portion of this new technology in order to advance the development of a single chip that includes both the analog and digital portions.
