What is A2B?

A2B (Automotive Audio Bus) is a high-bandwidth, bidirectional, single master, multiple slave, digital audio bus from Analog Devices. It is designed for automotive audio and control applications, primarily for connecting microphones, speakers, and other audio devices in a vehicle. It simplifies cabling by transmitting audio and control data along with power over a single, unshielded twisted-pair wire. It reduces system cost and weight, while improving audio quality and system reliability.
