back to referencesValidation of an Automotive Ethernet Switch from FPGA to ASIC
Task:
Development and execution of an automotive Ethernet switch test process, which characterizes the switch for automotive applications during the prototype stage.Content:
- Definition of requirements and automotive use cases
- Development of a test specification for specific ranges of conformity, performance and use cases
- Alignment of the test specification contents to the architecture of the semiconductor to be tested
- Quality check of the test coverage
- Test process conversion to a highly automated test environment, for use in a test laboratory
- Alignment of the test environment to semiconductor-specific characteristics, e.g. configuration management
Result:
- Extensive test specifications with 100 percent test coverage of automotive-specific requirements. The test process supports OPEN ALLIANCE as a basis for the standard for qualifying electronic switches.
- Successful validation of all stages of development, from FPGAs to turnkey ASICs.
