Simplify automotive interface design
Vehicles are evolving to include more advanced features enhancing safety, comfort and convenience. More features require more complex electronics, which emphasize the importance of power efficiency. Power efficiency enables longer driving ranges and lowers operational costs, resulting in semiconductor manufacturers lowering the typical supply voltage of an electrical component such as a microcontroller (MCU) from 5V to 3.3V.
Achieving reliable data transfer in industrial systems
The industrial market is rapidly evolving, with emerging technologies meeting the growing demand for innovation and efficiency. Industrial applications use many different interfaces, including Ethernet, RS-485 and Controller Area Network (CAN), to communicate time-sensitive data between different pieces of equipment. Designers have to consider many different objectives and trade-offs when selecting which interface to use.
