New Products
In the rapid evolution of automotive electronic systems, high-precision, high-reliability sensor communication has become the key guarantee for intelligent driving, powertrain and other core functions. SENT (Single Edge Nibble Transmission) and PSI5 (Peripheral Sensor Interface 5), as the new generation of sensor interface protocols, are gradually replacing the traditional analog signal interface as the mainstream choice in the automotive industry. SENT (Single Edge Nibble Transmission) and PSI5 (Peripheral Sensor Interface 5), as a new generation of sensor interface protocols, are gradually replacing traditional analog signal interfaces as the mainstream choice in the automotive industry due to their high precision, high speed, and strong anti-jamming capabilities.
However, with the proliferation of the number of on-board sensors and the complexity of communication protocols, the R&D and testing phases are faced with a serious challenge - how to efficiently verify the communication performance between ECUs and sensors to ensure the stability, real-time and accuracy of signal transmission? The solution to this problem is directly related to the development cycle and final quality of the whole vehicle system. For this reason, the TC4016 ECU simulation node was born.
01. Products
The TC4016 is a SENT (Single Edge Nibble Transmission) and PSI5 (Peripheral Sensor Interface 5) based ECU (Electronic Control Unit) emulation node that receives various SENT and PSI5 interface SENT and PSI5 interface sensor data. The device also integrates two CAN/CAN FD, four digital inputs/outputs (DIDO) and three analog inputs/outputs (AIAO).
TC4016 is connected to PC via Ethernet, which can easily monitor, analyze and simulate SENT, PSI5 data and CAN/CAN FD bus data, providing a reliable data environment for R&D and test personnel, and helping to accelerate the product development cycle.
The secondary development API for Windows and Linux supports various development environments, such as C++, C#, LabView, Python, etc. It is easy to be integrated into various test systems and is efficient and easy to use.
