SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:MRVL) today confirmed
that its 88Q2112 solution, the first IEEE® 802.3bp
1000BASE-T1 compliant automotive PHY to deliver 1 Gigabit/s data
rates, has completed the conformance tests outlined by Japan
Automotive Software Platform and Architecture (JASPAR) and passed
100%.
JASPAR was established in 2004 to facilitate the adoption of new
automotive related technologies throughout Japan. The organization helps improve
development efficiency and ensures reliability through
standardization and sharing of sophisticated electronic automotive
software and networks. It does this by providing common
specification guidelines that can be referenced by the country's
automobile OEMs and their tier 1 partners. Among its membership are
globally recognized auto manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan,
Honda, Mazda, Suzuki, DENSO and Bosch.
JASPAR's Next Generation High-Speed Networking Group had
previously evaluated both the IEEE 802.3 based 100BASE-T1 and
100BASE-TX connectivity solutions that are offered by Marvell, and
the group's evaluation has now been extended to cover the company's
latest 1000BASE-T1 automotive technology. The 88Q2112 based
development boards utilized for the evaluation were designed and
assembled by engineers from DENSO and tested by multiple tier 1 and
tier 2 auto manufacturers coordinating with the JASPAR
organization.
A comprehensive series of tests were conducted including,
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emissions and immunity tests,
bulk current injection (BCI) testing for RF immunity and extreme
temperature testing with gigabit compatible harnesses. In addition,
electrostatic discharge (ESD), transient noise, ground differential
stress, clock skew, signal line short-to-power and short-to-ground
testing were also performed. The Marvell 88Q2112 solution passed
all tests by a considerable margin.
"88Q2112 is the first automotive Gigabit Ethernet solution in
the market and we are excited to have successfully exceeded
JASPAR's conformance testing. This represents a major milestone for
our automotive connectivity technology," said Tim Lau, senior director of Automotive Product
Marketing at Marvell. "We look forward to a continued partnership
with JASPAR to ensure closer collaboration in testing market
changing solutions from Marvell."
"Clearly, future in-vehicle network infrastructure will need to
rely on high speed Ethernet technology, as car manufacturers expect
greater functionality and more advanced safety-critical features to
be incorporated," said Hideki Goto,
chairman of JASPAR's Next Generation High-Speed Network Working
Group and group manager at Toyota. "Marvell is making a real
contribution towards this ongoing progression, thereby helping to
accelerate the migration away from older and slower networking
protocols."
"The core objective of JASPAR is to create an environment in
which those serving the Japanese automotive sector can work
together to further drive automotive innovation. Numerous JASPAR
members have been involved in this test project and we are very
pleased with the results that have been achieved," said
Takashi Matsumoto, a member of Next
Generation High-Speed Network Working Group at Nissan. "With the
testing now complete, JASPAR plans to release a new standard that
specifies circuit configuration and information on signal line
impedance, AC coupling and termination resistance, CMC, ESD and
crystals, later this year. This will be used as a reference for
implementing 1000BASE-T1 technology to the Japanese OEMs and tier
1s."
