Keysight Expands Novus Portfolio with Compact Automotive Software program Outlined Automobile Check Answer

Keysight Applied sciences pronounces the enlargement of its Novus portfolio with the Novus mini automotive, a quiet small form-factor pluggable (SFP) community take a look at platform that addresses the wants of automotive community engineers as they deploy software program outlined automobiles (SDV). Keysight is increasing the potential of the Novus platform by providing a subsequent era automobile interface that features 10BASE-T1S, and multi-gigabyte BASE-T1 assist for 100 megabytes per second, 2.5 gigabits per second (Gbit/s), 5Gbit/s, and 10Gbit/s. Keysight’s SFP structure supplies a versatile platform to combine and match speeds for every port with modules plugging into present playing cards moderately than requiring a separate card, as many present take a look at options necessitate.

As automobiles transfer to zonal architectures, linked gadgets are a important operational element.  Consequently, any system failures brought on by connectivity and community points can influence security and doubtlessly create life-threatening conditions. To mitigate this threat, engineers should completely take a look at the conformance and efficiency of each system aspect earlier than deploying them.

Key advantages of the Novus mini automotive platform embody:

• Streamlines testing – The mixed resolution provides each visitors era and protocol testing on one platform. With each features on a single platform, engineers can optimize the testing course of, save time, and simplify workflows with out requiring a number of instruments. It additionally accelerates troubleshooting and facilitates environment friendly remediation of points.
• Helps decrease prices and simplify wiring – Helps native automotive interfaces BASE-T1 and BASE-T1S that assist decrease prices and simplify wiring for automotive producers, lowering the quantity of required cabling and connectors. BASE-T1 and BASE-T1S provide a scalable and versatile single-pair Ethernet resolution that may adapt to totally different automobile fashions and configurations. These interfaces assist increased knowledge charges in comparison with conventional automotive communication protocols for quicker, extra environment friendly knowledge transmission as automobiles grow to be extra linked.
• Compact, quiet, and inexpensive – Options the smallest footprint within the business with excellent price per port, and ultra-quiet, fan-less operation.
• Validates layers 2-7 in advanced automotive networks– Gives complete efficiency and conformance testing that covers all the pieces from knowledge hyperlink and community protocols to move, session, presentation, and utility layers. Validating the interoperability of disparate elements throughout layers is critical in advanced automotive networks the place a number of methods should seamlessly work collectively.

• Protects networks from unauthorized entry – Helps full line fee and automatic conformance testing for TSN 802.1AS 2011/2020, 802.1Qbv, 802.1Qav, 802.1CB, and 802.1Qci. The platform exams important timing requirements for automotive networking, as exact timing and synchronization are essential for the dependable and protected operation of ADAS and autonomous automobile applied sciences. Requirements like 802.1Qci assist shield networks from unauthorized entry and defective or unsecure gadgets.

Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and Normal Supervisor, Community Check & Safety Options, Keysight, stated: “The Novus mini automotive supplies real-world validation and automatic conformance testing for the subsequent era of software program outlined automobiles. Our prospects should belief that their merchandise constantly meet high quality requirements and adjust to regulatory necessities to keep away from pricey fines and penalties. The Novus mini permits us to ship this assured assurance with a compact, built-in community take a look at resolution that may hold tempo with fixed innovation.”

Keysight will exhibit its portfolio of take a look at options for automotive networks, together with the Novus mini automotive, at the Client Expertise Present (CES), January 7-10^th in Las Vegas, NV, West Corridor, sales space 4664 (Contained in the Intrepid Controls sales space).
