KDPOF introduces an automotive Ethernet switch EVB9351-AUT-SW-NXP with five 1000BASE-RH optical ports, each comprised of KDPOF’s KD9351 FOT and KD1053 PHY IC.

KDPOF has developed and validated the first 1000BASE-RH SFP module for optical gigabit connectivity in vehicles. The design of the new small form-factor pluggable transceiver module is based on a standard SFP supporting MSA registers via I2C bus.

KDPOF, supplier for gigabit connectivity over fibre optics, announced that its KD1053 PHY IC and integrated KD9351 FOT (Fibre Optic Transceiver) have been implemented by Renesas into the new next generation automotive vehicle computer VC4.

KDPOF have congratulated the 802.3cz Task Force for the advance of the proposed IEEE 802.3cz standard to the IEEE 802.3 Working Group ballot stage.

Optical Ethernet connectivity perfectly solves the challenges and electrical interference in vehicles thanks to its electromagnetic compatibility, reliability, and low cost. With the integrated KD9351 FOT and companion KD1053 PHY, KDPOF provides a 1 Gb/s compact optical port for safe backbone and ADAS. The eval kit EVK9351AUT equips carmakers, suppliers, and test houses for a quick and easy project start.  

KDPOF has presented the brand new integrated Fiber Optic Transceiver (FOT) KD7051 PHY. It is the first device for optical in-vehicle connectivity that incorporates the transceiver IC, optoelectronics, and optics. The integrated FOT is a 100 Mb/s optical port in one single component.

  In electrical and hybrid powertrains, the new 48V electrical architecture pushes the limit with regard to electromagnetic compatibility and safety requirements. Optical Ethernet technology brings in its inherent galvanic isolation and mechanical robustness, providing the ideal network for current and future in-vehicle connectivity.

At the Automotive Ethernet Congress that is taking place from 12th-13th February, 2020 in Munich, Germany, KDPOF will be demonstrating an automotive-grade optical transmission system with 25 gigabits per second. In his presentation, 'Optical Multi-Gigabit Ethernet - on the Verge of Standardisation and Implementation', on 13th February at 14:30, Carlos Pardo, CEO and Co-founder of KDPOF, will show details on the process for the new stand...
