MIMAS for Automotive Ethernet
Automotive Ethernet is a physical network that is used to connect components within a car using a wired network. It is designed to meet the needs of the automotive market, including meeting electrical requirements, bandwidth requirements, latency requirements, synchronization, and network management requirements. Competing with existing technologies such as CAN, LIN, FlexRay MOST and LVDS the requirement to make Automotive Ethernet a success requires a lot of tests and suitable test hardware. The MIMA Gigabit Ethernet adapter can be a part of this process and help you validate the tests within:
- Conformance Testing
- Protocol Validation and Performance Testing
- PHY Testing
- Switch testing
- Stress and Reliability Testing of Components
- Security Testing
- Manufacturing Test
- Vehicle Diagnostics
