Enabling Next-Generation Automotive ADAS Cameras and Sensors with Automotive SerDes

Next-generation ADAS systems require camera and radar sensors with increasingly high resolution. That means new requirements for speed and bandwidth for the in-vehicle networks, switches, and connections that carry them. ADAS cameras and displays are often connected to the image-processing ECU via a SerDes (serializer/deserializer) connection. The in-vehicle network market is evolving, including proprietary solutions and new automotive SerDes standards (ASA/MIPI). Due to the dynamic electrical environment of the automobile, thorough validation of each interface’s electrical performance is required. Automated test suites built on standardized test methods deliver verification of device conformance, eliminate sources of human error, provide insightful reporting tools, can be run repetitively, and enable the industry to achieve broad-scale interoperability. Double-digit growth rates characterize the automotive SerDes market as new applications continuously emerge. The high-quality design will minimize loss and maximize test margins, as in all high-speed designs. This white paper will discuss the business need to provide a secure and interoperable in-vehicle network with the development and introduction of ASA/MIPI and revised proprietary solutions. This includes insight into technical concerns concerning transmitter electrical testing, receiver testing, and cable and harness/connector testing.
