Automotive networks are evolving rapidly to provide the high-speed data transfer demanded by the connected car. Technologies like automotive Ethernet and conventional buses like CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, DDR, and others will come together to meet evolving performance requirements.

Enabling communication, safety, convenience, and electrification applications expected in modern and future vehicles requires managing increasing data volumes and speeds. Keysight offers the high-performance design and test platforms you need to deliver your automotive innovations faster and better.

AUTOMOTIVe ETHERNET

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles use lots of sensors, controls, and interfaces with higher bandwidth requirements. Automotive Ethernet provides a single universal medium for communication that allows different components to coexist on the same switched network.

Keysight offers full-stack conformance test solutions for Layers 1–7 for automotive Ethernet to ensure network integrity for compliance, decode, TSN, TCP/IP stack testing, as well as safe and secure performance of the connected car.

Testing Layers 1–7 of Automotive Ethernet

Test and debug serial buses with oscilloscopes

The oscilloscope is the primary measurement tool used today to test and debug the physical layer of automotive serial buses, including CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, SENT, and MOST.

Automotive electrical environments are naturally harsh, with lots of noise and unexpected transients. An oscilloscope can capture and show you details of infrequent automotive transients and noise that are producing bus errors.

Keysight offers a broad range of automotive serial bus applications in both the InfiniiVision and Infiniium oscilloscope families, including protocol decode/trigger, eye-diagram mask testing, and physical layer compliance test packages.

Identify and prevent cyberattacks before they occur

The modern Connected Car is a supercomputer on wheels, but its connectivity makes it vulnerable to potential cyberattacks. Keysight is helping industry leaders secure the Connected Car with penetration (Pen) tests for all relevant interfaces. Besides protection with up-to-date threat databases, our automotive cybersecurity solutions can be integrated with client custom databases.
