Rohde & Schwarz announced it is partnering with the automotive chipset development team of Realtek to ensure compliance with current and future OPEN Alliance standards.
The company said performance and ease of measurement of the R&S RTO2044 digital oscilloscope are important considerations for R&D engineers.
“The performance and ease of measurement of the R&S RTO2044 oscilloscope and R&S ZNB vector network analyzer are important considerations for our R&D engineers, given the fact that these two instruments are references at UNH-IOL, an Automotive Ethernet laboratory accredited by OPEN Alliance,” said Realtek’s Vice President and Spokesman, Yee-Wei Huang.
Developments in advanced driver assistance systems and enhanced infotainment applications require an evolution of in-vehicle communications to support the required higher data rates. Automotive Ethernet is a key enabler for automotive communications since it is a future proof technology, currently supporting speeds up to 10 Gbps. However, compliance with the stringent automotive Ethernet specifications defined by industry body OPEN Alliance must first be verified. Realtek has dedicated itself for a long time to the development of communication network and computer peripheral products as well as multimedia IC design. Product validation must be conducted before the new product is released to the market and this is where high-performance test instruments and fixtures from Rohde & Schwarz provide the necessary performance to validate compliance with the standards.
Realtek has entered the OPEN Alliance (OA) TC12 market with the RTL9010 (1000BASE-T1 PHY) chipset, which supports the OA TC10 Wake-up/Sleep. The company boasts that the RTL9010 is the industry’s first and one of very few AEC-Q100 Grade 1 chipsets in the world, with power consumption as low as 400mW, saving materials cost and significantly reducing power consumption through built-in switching regulator. It also supports 12V/24V VBAT power supply.
