Remote Sensing with Inductive Position Sensor & CAN/LIN

This solution supports robust next-generation vehicle electrical/electronics (E/E) architecture with improved protection of ECU communication networks for vehicles. The design allows for the use of a few very powerful vehicle computers instead of a great many individual control units.

System Benefits​:

• Long-distance remote sensing of ECU communication over CAN/LIN​
• Includes basic software for the microcontroller​
• Enhanced data security, support for over-the-air (OTA) updates, and full bidirectional communication (sensor re-configuration over lifetime) ​
• Solve influences of noise and parasitic components over longer distances on new car E/E architecture with centralized ECUs ​
• Target application: Bridge between the ECU and inductive position sensor (IPS) for throttle, console, and throttle pedal​
• Reduce wiring by supplying multiple sensors multiplexed on one interface ​
• Enable robust and secure communication from the sensor to the ECU​
• Automotive body control modules, vehicle controller units, etc.
