The future of communication in EVs and autonomous cars

In the modern car, every aspect of the vehicle is communicating with each other to optimize performance and provide the most comfortable, safest ride possible. The electronic vehicle and the autonomous car are driving the need for higher bandwidth and low latency communications within the car. This increased information flow is causing rapid changes in communication protocol and bandwidth requirements. Unlike most embedded devices and their communications, automotive communications require extremely robust devices and protocols to ensure proper performance in the demanding automotive environment.

Pulse Electronics has developed components for nearly every automotive communications applications for todays vehicles and the vehicles of the future. The applications supported by Pulse Electronics include infotainment, battery management systems, advanced driver assistance systems, energy storage systems, and body control. With all components meeting AEC-Q200 requirements and capable of operating from -40 ºC to + 125 ºC temperature range, with roadmap up to +150 ºC for applications closer to the engine. Pulse has multiple factories that are TS Certified and can provide PPAP documenting for all automotive grade products. This ensures long-term reliability of electronics components and continually high performance throughout the life of the vehicle.
