Descriptive summary

NXP’s ATOP (Automotive Telematics On-board unit Platform) enables single component ‘stand alone’ on-board units either embedded or as aftermarket solution dedicated to services and applications such as stolen vehicle tracking, e-call and road pricing and many more. It can also be used as a front-end in more advanced open service telematics platforms, containing a variety of services including pay-as-you-drive, e-Horizon, Eco-Navigation and location based mobility services. These help improve driving patterns, which significantly influences fuel consumption and CO2 emission.

Flexible connectivity

ATOP offers leading GSM performance and ultra low power consumption. The integrated memory supports advanced features like secure, over-the-air upgrades. The GPS receiver provides accuracy and sensitivity that exceeds automotive today’s industry standards. ATOP’s industry-standard, ARM7-based automotive microcontroller provides a broad range of interfaces for easy in-car integration, including CAN and USB, multiple serial inter-processor buses and A/D and D/A converters and analog in & outputs for a audio signals.

Open and flexible multi-application environment

For the business and service logic aspects of the design, an open, JAVA-based multi-application software environment guarantees interoperability and secure co-existence in systems that run multiple telematics applications in parallel. The ARM7 environment, which uses C/C++, compliments the JAVA environment with low-level, true real-time capabilities for application integration.

High security

NXP CC level 5+ based SmartMX controllers provide security with multi application environment support. Primarily designed for high-security smart card applications requiring highly reliable solutions, with or without multiple interface options, they ensure tamper-resistant operation. Industry standard NFC RFID technology enables aftermarket self-installation, pay-per-use or secure driver identification while maintaining tamper evidence properties.
