Enter the Automotive Ethernet Era

Sep 28, 2018

The global networking protocol familiar to us as Ethernet, is making its way to the intelligent, Internet-connected car by beating out rival protocols CAN, LIN, and MOST in the race to speed and flexibility.

Why Ethernet?

Ethernet provides easy and accurate networking inside a self-driving vehicle. It lets the in-vehicle computer synchronize to automotive sensor units like Cameras, RADAR, LIDAR, and Ultrasound at Gigabit rates to perform with optimum pas [Read more]

Evolution of Data Communication Standards

Sep 26, 2018

As the computer industry grows, data centers are going through a constant evolution to meet the increasing data management demand. Data centers have to change to accommodate the new designs, increased complexity, higher speeds, and higher densities.

Server racks were initially designed to support early data center design and development. However, the constant changes lead to the requirement of creating a common connector interface or standard.

Millipacs®- Cost-effective upgrade solution for Data Rates up to 25Gb/s

Sep 25, 2018

Millipacs^® 2.00mm Hard Metric (HM) backplane connectors were launched during the 1990s when most of the applications required few hundreds of Gigabit data rates.

With special signal pinning and adequate provision of ground pins, data rate enhancement up to 3Gb/s was possible. Due to the need for improved signal integrity and higher bandwidth, Telecom and Data markets demanded connectors with higher speed and differential signals.

Investing in Cleaner, Greener, and Safer Rides

Sep 12, 2018

Electrical vehicles comprising of cars, buses, and two-wheelers, offer a noiseless and comfortable ride. These vehicles carry rechargeable batteries that power the electric motors responsible for the propulsion. Performances of these batteries are defined by how long and how far they can propel the vehicle before running out of charge. The motors are far quicker than a conventional combustion engine in achieving the desired rotation and allows for a better acceleration of th [Read more]
