Delphi Automotive Systems has developed the entire MML system architecture including software protocols, the physical implementation of the MML IC and optical physical layer. Based on the success of prototype systems utilizing first silicon, both companies believe the MML system will be ready for production in the 2002CY timeframe. The MML bus system, which utilizes plastic optical fiber technology in a star architecture, is capable of speeds in excess of 100Mbit/sec. At these speeds, it will allow full MPEG2 stream transmission for high quality video with any display size. ST is a recognized leader on MPEG2 technology. In addition, its star design topology using Delphi’s patented optical star technology, makes it fault tolerant and plug and play ready. These key characteristics make it the most advanced bus architecture for automotive applications in the world. The MML bus architecture is currently open to the market, with a full set of third party development tools provided by C&C Electronics. Delphi Automotive Systems is helping to bring enhanced communications, information and entertainment into vehicles through its experience in designing and producing advanced electronics, optical systems, including optical connection systems with integrated optoelectronic devices and passive optical stars.
