AE2010R MIPI A-PHY Automotive SerDes Receiver Test Software

Interoperable and Failure Free MIPI A-PHY® Devices are the Goal — Receiver Testing Can Help

Serializers and De-serializers (SerDes), are common in virtually all high-speed digital bus technologies.  They are responsible for taking various digital inputs and sending them over distance using high-speed serial links. Next-generation advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) will use sensors like cameras, radar, and lidar with increasingly high resolutions, requiring a network with faster data throughput and greater bandwidth.

Typically, SerDes are built to be asymmetrical; they use a high-speed downlink for data transit, such as from a camera to the central CPU, and a slower uplink for less-demanding tasks like device monitoring and control. This type of link is well suited to remote sensors in the vehicle, which require high-speed outputs but should ideally be limited in their implementation complexity, power requirements, and cost.
