Finally I have my own car, but...
The protagonist of this article, " Xiao Sai ", is a fictional character. Any similarity is purely coincidental.
After working for many years, the protagonist Xiaosai is finally going to get his first car. As a science and engineering man, the appearance, brand and reputation of a car are important, but what he values most is the sense of technology. After hanging out in major car forums for half a year, Xiaosai has a clear understanding of all brands and grades of cars, and finally locked in his two dream cars.
The auto show was just about to open, and Xiao Sai walked into the exhibition hall with excitement...
A little dilemma: technology or control?
The first car has pure German blood. The wheelbase of 2908mm makes the space inside the car very spacious. The 2.0T engine, with a power of up to 185kW and a torque of 320N·m, can let Xiaosai experience the feeling of pushing back as he pleases.
Of course, what attracted Xiaosai the most were the several large screens in the car: a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, an 8.3-inch central control LCD display, a floating touch air-conditioning control panel... The overwhelming sense of technology made Xiaosai realize that what was said in the movie was true.
This is the car known as the “King of Control”!
Walking to the next booth, Xiao Sai saw another German car known as the "king of control". The precise steering and smart gear shifting are hard to put down. Of course, it also has a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and an 8.8-inch touch screen, and supports many functions such as head-up display (HUD), natural voice recognition, wireless CarPlay, etc. It is hard not to love it.
emm...there is also a head-up display function (HUD)
Xiao Sai posted N Douyin videos, N+1 Weibo and WeChat messages in one go, and finally realized his wish. Of course, his phone ran out of battery. He found the USB port in the exhibition car and charged it while researching the transaction prices of the two cars on the forum. Ten minutes later, before he knew the price, his phone shut down.
Big surprise: It turns out that there is a lot of knowledge about the charging port on the car
It turns out that not every USB port in a car is suitable for charging a mobile phone.
Although many models are equipped with USB ports, some models are more suitable for the transmission of in-car entertainment information, and their power is often only 5V/0.5A, and slightly higher can reach 5V/1A. For heavily operated mobile phones, this will not only take longer to charge, but also make the phone easily overheated, which is harmful to the battery.
It’s the 21st century now. How can we create a USB port on new car models that ensures a good charging experience without affecting the in-car infotainment?
Of course, Cypress has to take action. Previously, Cypress launched the EZ-PD™ CCGx series of highly integrated programmable automotive-grade USB-C controllers that support the USB PD protocol.
Cypress' automotive-grade EZ-PD CCGx controller products are USB-IF certified and offer unmatched single-chip integration, including USB Billboard and firmware update manager functions, minimizing bill of materials costs and simplifying designs.
Currently, in response to the demand for in-car charging ports and infotainment ports, Cypress is working with top automotive suppliers to provide users with in-car fast charging and mobile phone connection (CarPlay & Android Auto) functions. Stay tuned!
After listening to the introduction, Xiao Sai thought: If you want to buy a car, you have to buy one with Cypress. Have you encountered similar "embarrassment" in your daily car use? Leave a message to tell us, there may be a surprise!
