Xilinx has Three Automated Test Equipment Lines for Semiconductors

The Versal architecture gives system designers performance, power-optimized hard IP, and flexibility that are exclusive to Xilinx. DSP engines and AI engines, available in the Versal Premium ACAPs provide unmatched signal processing capacity. Featuring on/off-chip memory bandwidth at higher speeds. There are 7.5M system logic cells in the Adaptable Engines, that play a critical role in developing ATE the flexibility necessary for custom IP, monitoring functionality, and traffic generation.

Tektronix is Working to Improve Efficiency using Subsystem Power Measurements

Tektronix is working to improve efficiency using subsystem power measurements. When it comes to traction inverters and motors Tektronix is working towards a high standard. The addition of SiC power semiconductors and measurements of the subsystems in those inverters and motors means more efficiency and a more compact inverter.

R&S Bring Automotive Radar Testing To Three Critical Areas

R&S brings automotive radar testing to three critical areas. Rhode and Schwarz (R&S) provide manufacturers, suppliers of components, and testing facilities with the latest in test and measurement equipment. There are three critical types of testing equipment focused on the automotive radar.

Measurement in Automotive Sectors

Many high-end vehicles now have hundreds of sensors monitoring everything from interior lights to braking. And there is no slowing of the addition of sensors - especially in driving assistance areas.

More efficient means to test sensors of all kinds are becoming a necessity, as cars become more software-defined. Avenues to things like hiding radar sensors, to unobtrusive rear camera mountings, are fast becoming standards. The technology behind sensors is advancing rapidly, and what sensors are being used now, will not be sufficient to carry a load of safety and luxury components three years from now. Enter the measurement equipment.

Radar on cars will become standard very quickly, as more and more cars become safety equipped and driver assist becomes a critical feature of all vehicles. Radar testing equipment in the automotive industry is becoming more widely available as the need for this testing platform grows.

The radome tester is finding its way into many an automaker toolbox of testing equipment, as is a transportable radar chamber on wheels. It is mobile and more, as the development of artificially generated objects during radar development, for testing distance and size, and avoidance systems become a standard item on cars and trucks.
