TTM Technologies’ Post

Hello everybody. I'm just reflecting on the past Automotive Testing Expo Europe exhibition (#ATE) in Stuttgart in June 2024, where I had a chance to present the #Keysight in-vehicle network (#IVN), #Memory, and #SerDes test solutions together with my network test colleagues. The demand for those is huge. The industry's trend is clear: higher-speed digital interfaces, including proprietary and standard #SerDes (#GMSL, #FPDLink, #ASA, #MIPI #APHY, #PCIExpress, etc.), advanced #networking technologies, and next-generation #DRAM technologies for the next level of #autonomousdriving and self-defined vehicles (#SDV). I showed the #MultiG #automotiveEthernet PMA (physical media attachment) Tx tests on the Keysight #UXR-Series oscilloscope as well as the #LPDDR4/5 system-level validation, while my colleagues from the #IXIA business part of Keysight showed their upper layer test tools for critical #TSN, #MACsec, and #security applications in #networking. With all of that, Keysight is the only test and #measurement company that can support and test all #OSI layers and enable the full stack design and test for our #automotive customers.

When it comes to planar technologies for #mmWave filtering in #automotive #radar applications, the fabrication technology makes a difference in terms of performance. This multi-part series delves into those differences.

🚗✨ EVOLUTION OF REGULATIONS ON ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY: UTAC AT THE FOREFRONT! ✨🚗 Vehicle electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is crucial for the safety and performance of modern vehicles. UTAC, in collaboration with Rohde & Schwarz and Renault Trucks, is leading a preparatory research project for the future evolution of EMC regulations on behalf of the European Commission Laboratory. 🌐 Project Objectives: 👉 Analyze the impacts of new technologies on vehicle EMC. 👉Develop advanced testing solutions or methods to meet future requirements of the R10 regulation. 👉Strengthen our expertise and leadership position in EMC. The results will soon contribute to the R10 regulatory group, ensuring vehicle safety and performance through rigorous EMC standards. #EMC #VehicleSafety #Innovation #AutomotiveIndustry #UTAC #Regulations #automotiveindustry #auto #technology #creativity #automotive UTAC https://lnkd.in/gVt7Pj_X

Automotive and Aerospace This is HiRel and not in my portfolio. What caught my eye was the TDGM650LS60 power module used as a load switch or as a solid-state switch (EV designs ) This newly developed module incorporates a Teledyne high voltage Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistor and combines it with an isolated driver, all within a single package.

Keysight and Raditeq Sign Memorandum of Understanding for Improved EMC Testing. With the rapid adoption of automotive electronics, validating the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of system components has become a crucial step in ensuring they interoperate properly for the safety and functionality of vehicles. Auto makers need intensive EMC testing to make sure unintentional electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) remain within specified limits and that electronic components are immune to interference from external electromagnetic sources. This is a complex task that requires smart and efficient EMC testing as well as holistic management of EMC lab operations. https://lnkd.in/gdz-U_J4 Keysight Technologies #Keysight #Raditeq #EMCTesting #ElectromagneticCompatibility #EMI #EMS #AutomotiveElectronics #TestManagement #RadiMation #PathWave #LabManagement #TechCollaboration #AutomatedTesting #LabWorkflow #ElectronicsTesting

ESD protection solutions for space applications Here at Sofics, we frequently get questions about the applicability of our ESD and I/O solution IP for space applications. There are several aspects that need to be checked before electronics can be used in such harsh environments. Semiconductor devices that are used at high elevation or in space need special attention during the design phase. Sofics technology has been used for a number of aerospace projects. In this article we provide more background and example cases. https://lnkd.in/g5MDihMG

Time-sensitive networking (TSN) enhances traditional Ethernet by ensuring real-time communication, making it ideal for applications requiring precise data transfer, such as those in automotive, aerospace and industrial systems.

We are thrilled to see the cable assembly market is forecasted to grow from USD 169 billion in 2023 to USD 280 billion by 2032, with a robust CAGR of 6.2%. This growth is driven by the increasing need for high-speed data transmission across key industries such as automotive, aerospace and defence, consumer electronics, healthcare, and industrial sectors. This means that the need for cable assembly is likely to increase as the demand for electricity grows. For example, as data centres expand and telecommunications infrastructure grows, the need for high-performance cable assemblies rises. At ANR, we are well placed to meet demand from clients as their needs increase. With our extensive expertise in manufacturing custom I/O cable assemblies, ranging from RS232 signal cables to complex looms, we ensure high-quality and cost-effective solutions. Whether you need a one-off loom or a production run of 500, our state-of-the-art equipment and dedicated team are here to deliver. #CableAssembly #MarketGrowth #HighSpeedData #ANR #Automotive #Aerospace

Interesting virtual conference on demystifying Electromagnetic Compatibility --yesterday (now on demand, free of charge, morning session Part 1, afternoon Part 2) Well organized and conducted with speakers internationally active in their very fields of expertise. Among others, some new requirements for Calibration in EMC/ Receivers (Part 1) should be interesting to testing industry. I personally enjoyed very much in particular (Part 2) overviews and comprehensive standard updates (CISPR above 6GHz, ISO Automotive --ESA and Vehicle testing-- and Medical EMC) "Unveil the magic of conducted emissions testing" Here I was a little irritated detecting a metallic ground plane on the test bench (commercial CISPR , not MIL or ESA Automotive) under the EUT LED PS. The demo was still very informative and good. The critical question however is: Introducing additional stray capacitance (CM, EUT to GP)? This may certainly, in many cases, make the EUT better pass. Therefore danger of potentially undetected non-compliance EUT issues.
