Drop-in spread-spectrum oscillator ICs reduce problematic peak emissions by up to 12 dB
Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the 18EQHM32 series of oscillators that can reduce overall EMI issues in electronic equipment by subtly varying the system clock oscillator center frequency and thus distributing any EMI issues over a broader bandwidth. The new 18EQHM32 series are designed as drop-in replacements for standard clock oscillators and are targeted for […]
SDK handles eSync over-the-air platform projects
The eSync Alliance announces the launch of its eSync Agent SDK, a new Software Development Kit (SDK) for the eSync Over-The-Air (OTA) platform. This new SDK makes it simpler and quicker to integrate electronic control units (ECUs), smart sensors, and other edge devices in a vehicle with the eSync OTA data pipeline, thereby enabling automotive […]
RTK navigation technologies for autonomous vehicles
Real-time kinematic positioning brings high-accuracy to the autonomous vehicle industry without breaking the bank. James Fennelly • ACEINNA Inc. It’s no secret that a variety of technologies must work together smoothly and reliably to make autonomous vehicles possible. The technology mix includes inertial measurement units (IMUs), GPS/GNSS, radar, lidar, IR and vision sensors, as well […]
Basics of time-synchronized hardware-in-the loop testing
A special kind of HiL testing accelerates the development of advanced driver-assistance systems. Bernhard Holzinger, Automotive and Energy Solutions • Keysight Technologies Industry watchers are still optimistic about the adoption of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs). But CAVs will only become reality if consumers, regulators and the insurance industry all have an unshakable confidence in the […]
Navigating in-vehicle network communications securely
Hardware security modules help thwart hackers bent on getting control of EVs. Todd Slack • Microchip Technology Roughly half of all new vehicles sold this year will be connected vehicles, and estimates are that figure will rise to around 95% by 2030. Those connections via Bluetooth, USB, LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, and so forth have dramatically […]
