We future-proof in-vehicle data transfer with optical—faster, reliable, immune by design. 🔗 Fiber optics links solve EMI at the source Immunity by design, no shielding, no noise, avoids ground loops, ideal for sensitive sensor networks 💡 Optical automotive Ethernet: scalable to 50 Gb/s Future-proof for evolving ADAS demands, 2.5G to 50G over single link, IEEE 802.3cz standardized, interoperable, reliable 📹 Hybrid optical interconnects for high-speed automotive imaging Unlocking bandwidth and reliability for next-gen ADAS, engineered for high data rates, robust and light-weight design, automotive-grade technology ⚡️ ICs made in Spain First Spanish automotive IC manufacturer HIGH-SPEED CONNECTIVITY As semiconductor supplier, KD provides innovative high-speed optical networking solutions for harsh environments. Founded in 2010 in Madrid, Spain, KD offers its cost-effective technology as fully qualified automotive-grade ASSP, integrating electronics, photonics, and optics in a single IC. 1 GIGABIT For 1 Gb/s optical communications over POF, the integrated KD9351 Fiber Optic Transceiver (FOT), in combination with the proven KD1053 IC, reduces the cost for optical in-vehicle networks at 1 Gb/s, compared to STP (shielded twisted pair of copper wires). Incorporating the transmit and receive optoelectronics into one single component, the KD9351 is an optical transceiver for 100 Mb/s up to 1 Gb/s with a small footprint, enhanced efficiency and flexibility. MULTIGIGABIT The KD7251 is KD’s new ASIC that implements the BASE-AU physical layers, compliant with the IEEE Std 802.3cz™ specification for automotive multigigabit optical links over multi-mode glass optical fiber OM3. It‘s a single-chip solution with on-chip optical interface, supporting 2.5, 5, and 10 Gb/s, and includes bridging functionalities to enable the connectivity of MIPI sensors, as cameras and radar (CSI-2®), displays (DSI-2℠), or AI processors (PCIe®). 🤗 Contact us for more!
