Prodigy launches PCIe Gen 6 Protocol Analyzer with 64 GT/s capture capability
Introduction: I2C Protocol I2C Protocol stands for Inter Integrated-Circuit. I2C is a simple two-wire design, half-duplex serial communication protocol, and the data is transmitted bit by bit over a single wire. I2C supports multiple masters and slaves on the bus, but only one master can be active at a time. Any I2C device can be […]
SMBus Protocol Introduction: The System Management Bus (SMBus) is a two-wire interface through which various system component chips and devices can communicate with each other and with the rest of the system. It is based on the principles of operation of the I2C bus. SMBus provides a control bus for system and power management-related tasks. […]
Today’s automobiles are not just about engines and wheels, it is much more. The factor that defines these automobiles is the electronic functionality with advanced technologies and safety features embedded in them. These electronic functions are controlled by Engine Control Units (ECUs), Transmission Control Units (TCUs), and Body Controlled Module (BCM). These control units need […]
What is CAN protocol? The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communications protocol that supports distributed real-time control with a very high level of security and efficiency. Where is CAN Protocol Used? CAN is extensively used (but not restricted) in the automotive industry for automotive electronics precisely in the engine control units (ECUs), for […]
The automotive industry is going through a massive transformation. The consumer-based digital technologies and experiences are pushing the car in vehicle Information system to the next level. Consumers are asking for cars with mobile-like experiences. The Infotainment system needs to provide a touch-like experience and also support heavy workloads of storage map and navigation data […]
Current Challenges in Automotive flash storage Technologies The automotive industry is going through a mega transformation. The consumer-based digital technologies and experiences are taking over car vehicle Information systems. Consumers are asking for cars with mobile-like experiences pushing the car OEMs and manufacturers to look for next-generation In-vehicle entertainment display and storage solutions. The cars […]
PCIe and NVMe are two terms that are often heard together. Almost all the latest motherboards support the PCI Express x4 NVMe M.2 drives but may vary from board to board. NVMe is specifically designed to work with the latest solid-state drivers to utilize its full potential. It replaced the AHCI control scheme which also […]
What is Automotive Ethernet? Automotive Ethernet is designed for in-vehicle communication between the various subsystem of the automobile. Automotive Ethernet is also known as 100 base T1. The subsystem can be connectivity, gateway, ADAS, or the infotainment system. What is Standard Ethernet? Standard Ethernet is designed for networking computers and workstations and other devices working […]
Introduction The next-generation cars are growing in complexity by providing advanced features on the infotainment and ADAS sub-systems. The next generation car is more becoming like a data center with subsystems communicating at very speed. Automotive ethernet enables fast In-vehicle communication to meet the rising demands of the future self-driving and autonomous cars. The term […]
How to test the I3C devices for Interoperability or Conformance Testing? I3C Protocol is gaining momentum and going to be mainstream technology in automotive, data centers, and many other applications. The number of semiconductors with I3C interfaces shipped in the market has grown 3x in the last 3 years the growth is expected to double […]
