Measurement and Verification Solutions for Automotive Infotainment and ADAS System Design

Automobiles are evolving rapidly as various electronic technologies are being integrated. Consequently, the proportion of electronic technology in vehicles is increasing steadily.

Since existing low-speed vehicle network technology has limitations in rapidly controlling the proliferating electronic devices in vehicles, high-speed vehicle network communication technologies such as Automotive Ethernet for high-speed data communication are being recognized as essential elements in vehicles. Debugging and testing these communication links is a challenging and time-consuming task.

Therefore, there is a need for tools that can quickly and conveniently decode transmission content and efficiently analyze the temporal correlation between external events triggered by sensor signals and internal vehicle data.

Furthermore, vehicle infotainment and ADAS systems are evolving beyond AVN telematics systems supporting cluster, multimedia, and navigation services into next-generation vehicle IT convergence systems that aim to provide differentiated driver-friendly services through seamless connectivity and convergence between internal vehicle networks and external networks such as USB and Wi-Fi. This is implemented through diverse applications of serial link technology for high-speed signal transmission. 

As integration density increases and circuit complexity and design difficulty improve, the challenges that must be overcome for development are continuously growing, and it is difficult to avoid difficulties in securing design margins.

In order to address these technologies applied to vehicles, this session examines practical application examples and technical trends of Multi Gigabit Ethernet, Serial Link and Serdes, MIPI and other display interfaces applicable to automotive applications.

Additionally, we will introduce Tektronix scope solutions equipped with the latest UI to support these applications, and present the Tektronix entry-level 4 Series B oscilloscope released with upgraded features this year, allowing us to examine the diverse portfolio of Tektronix solutions.
