Pic. 2-11: APIX connectors
APIX is a serial Gbit/s link for in-car infotainment and driver assistance systems. It features
unidirectional pixel and full-duplex sideband data transmission over one single pair of a shielded
twisted pair ( STP ) copper cable. The downlink channel provides a sustained data rate of up to
1 Gbit / s, another 18 Mbit / s can be transmitted simultaneously in uplink direction.
The APIX interface 0 from the JADE-D is connected to connector X801 with pinning for input
side.
The APIX interface 1 from the JADE-D is connected to connector X802 with pinning for output
side.
On revision PA3 both connectors have input pinning.
The lines have no external ESD protection diodes because the 1.2 V APIX power supply is not
available on this board. The internal protection of the JADE-D is for up to 2 kV.
