PCIe switch routes automotive data traffic
The Switchtec family of PCI switches from Microchip move data around a vehicle’s “data center.” With vehicles becoming more software-centric, their computing power relies on a central processor that manages other processors, often on a single board. PCI Express (PCIe) becomes the bus that transports all that vehicle data. The PCI100x Switchtec PCIe switches from […]
Edge computing MPU features post-quantum security
Microchip Technology has announced the PIC64HX family of microprocessors (MPUs). Unlike traditional MPUs, the PIC64HX is purpose-built to address the unique demands of intelligent edge designs. The latest in Microchip’s 64-bit portfolio, the PIC64HX is a high-performance, multicore 64-bit RISC-V MPU capable of advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) processing and designed with integrated Time-Sensitive […]
MIPI A-PHY v2.0 reaches 32 Gbps downlink speed for automotive applications
The MIPI Alliance has released MIPI A-PHY v2.0, an updated version of its automotive high-speed asymmetric serializer-deserializer (SerDes) physical-layer interface. This new version increases the maximum downlink data rate to 32 Gigabits per second (Gbps) on a single channel, doubling the previous capacity. It also introduces an additional uplink gear supporting up to 1.6 Gbps, an eight-fold increase in […]
10Base-T1S simplifies automotive zonal architectures
By Andreas Pellkofer and Madhura Deyanda Poonacha, Analog Devices Automakers aim to provide vehicles with home-like comfort and entertainment, which raises demand for electronic control units (ECUs). Older bus technologies and electrical/electronic architectures struggle to keep up. 10Base-T1S Ethernet is transforming cars into fully connected experiences. Automotive electronic control units (ECUs), which control each component […]
10Base-T1S/L connects sensors in cars and buildings
IEEE 802.3cg defines these two Ethernet flavors, which deliver data and power over a single pair of wires. In 2019, IEEE published 802.3cg, which added clauses 146 and 147 to its Ethernet 802.3 standard, which created 10Base-T1S (short reach) and 10Base-T1L (long reach). These two Ethernet flavors can serve vehicles and industry, respectively, where few […]
