Design Challenges for Digital Instrument Clusters
By Andy Gryc, QNX Software Systems Digital instrument clusters are poised to supersede analog clusters in next-generation vehicles. This may seem surprising at first, since digital clusters require higher-end CPUs and much more software than their analog counterparts, not to mention large LCD panels. Why, then, are automakers adopting them? ...
SerDes Test Strategies to Minimize EMI/EMC
Tanja Hofner, Maxim Integrated Products Inc. In automotive applications, testing for electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an important part of design verification for serializer/deserializer (SerDes) devices. EMI and EMC must be considered early in the design cycle to prevent needless revisions. This article offers basic concepts and guidelines on preparing a SerDes system for EMI/EMC testing....
