It will be a 'true Ethernet' product that will realize in-vehicle networking.

Published2015.07.17 16:01

Will Ethernet be chosen as the key to opening the future era of autonomous vehicles?

High-speed data processing is required to realize the essential in-vehicle networking (IVN) of future automobiles.

It includes Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and LVDS systems, which provide the high data bandwidth, communication speed, weight reduction, and cost efficiency required for next-generation vehicles.

On the 9th, Lars Reger, Vice President of Automotive, who visited Korea for the first time as CTO (Chief Technology Officer) of NXP Semiconductors, also made it clear that NXP Semiconductors is ‘pushing Ethernet.’

The company said that the two product lines, the TJA1100 Ethernet transceiver and the SJA1105 Ethernet switch, will be available as modules, allowing automakers to flexibly select the optimal solution for a wide range of network architectures, from entry-level to high-end vehicles.

According to a Gartner forecast in December 2014, the number of Ethernet nodes used in passenger vehicles worldwide is expected to increase to 162 million by 2030, with the number of ports increasing to 242 million.

NXP Semiconductors announced a portfolio of Ethernet products that support this, emphasizing that these are ‘true automotive’ Ethernet products. To date, NXP has supplied 6 billion CAN, LIN and FlexRay transceivers to the global automotive industry.

As NXP Semiconductors emphasizes, why should these solutions be ‘true automotive Ethernet’ products?

Shin Jeong-cheol, general manager of NXP Semiconductors Korea, said, “The BroadR-Reach Ethernet standard technology has no problem satisfying the 100 Mbps speed in terms of performance. It is not that the products that other companies have already released did not meet the performance, but rather that they overlooked the standards required by the automotive market, such as EMC issues and low-power mode.” He added, “NXP Semiconductors will work closely with German OEMs to resolve the EMC issues and low-power mode support issues and release products.”

CTO Lars Reger also said, “FlexRay has not been adopted as widely as expected, but it is not going away and is still used in some areas, as is the case with CAN, LIN and Ethernet. “There is a clear appeal, especially for 100Mbps Ethernet communications,” he said.

Production of the Ethernet transceiver is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.

A single misaligned light means 'defect'… Vehicle interior lighting now guarded by semiconductors and software

Automotive interior lighting is moving beyond its role as 'auxiliary lighting.' As it becomes a core element of user experience (UX) that expresses brand identity through color and animation while reflecting driver preferences, the LED interior ambient lighting market is growing rapidly. In connection with this, we met in advance with Choi Young-jae, Research Director at Dabo Corporation, who will present a technical webinar session on "Intelligent LED Interior Lighting Solutions Illuminating Future Vehicles," to hear about market trends and changes in design requirements.

Vector Korea Launches New Version of 'CANoe' with AI Agent and MCP

Vector Korea has released a new version of CANoe 20 SP2 equipped with an AI agent and MCP. With a single natural language prompt, it automates the entire process from CAPL test code generation to execution and error correction, completing tasks that previously took several hours to days in just minutes. The Vector-RAG technology suppresses LLM hallucination phenomena, and it is compatible with existing LLMs such as GitHub Copilot and Claude, provided free of charge on CANoe 20 SP2 and higher versions.
