In order to meet the design’s requirements, PCIe clock generators and buffers that are Automotive Compliant offer a variety of alternatives. Qualified PCIe 4.0 clock generators and buffers offer low power consumption, integrated resistors, and wettable flank / sidewalled QFN that are tailored for the automotive sector. 4 external resistors for each output and board space are saved via on-chip termination.
For use as a synchronous, low noise reference, a second buffered reference output is offered. To facilitate automated visual inspection and testing in an automotive manufacturing setting, both of these clock generators and buffers are housed in specially created wettable/sidewalled QFN packages.
The Global Automotive PCIe Timing IC market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Toshiba introduced a high-performance Ethernet PCIe bridge IC. It is designed to be used in industrial machinery as well as automobile zonal-architecture, infotainment, telematics, or gateways.
The new bridge IC includes two 10 Gbps Ethernet Media Access Controllers (MAC) supporting a variety of interfaces, including USXGMII, XFI, SGMII, and RGMII[1]. Both ports support Ethernet IEEE802.1 audio/video bridging (AVB) for real-time processing and low-latency IEEE802.1 time-sensitive networking (TSN) for synchronous processing.
Additionally, the ports enable PCIe devices to use “simplified” single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV). For connection with the host-controller SoC and other PCIe-equipped devices, such as 5G modem modules, the TC9563XBG incorporates a PCIe® Gen 3 switch with three external ports.
Depending on the configuration, the downstream ports of the PCIe switch can connect with one or two lanes to PCIe-capable devices, while the upstream port of the PCIe switch can handle up to four lanes (32GT/s) for connection with the host SoC.
Zone-based architecture, which calls for real-time transmission between the zones using multi-gigabit Ethernet communication, is the direction automotive networks are moving in.
As a result, the dual 10 Gbps AVB and TSN enabled Ethernet interfaces on the TC9563XBG make it the perfect choice for next-generation automotive networking. The new bridge IC will serve numerous automotive applications, such as in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) and telematics, as automotive communication requirements grow in terms of the volume of data and required speeds.
It can also upgrade system throughput and performance by swapping out the outdated ethernet-to-PCIe TC9560 and TC9562 bridges.
