Abstract

Automotive industry is moving towards autonomous driving, which demands a large amount of data to be processed. Optical interconnections are very well positioned because of the high required data rates for connecting sensors and electronic brains with superior EMC performance. Compared with data-centres, automotive applications require much wider range of operating temperatures (-40ºC to 125ºC) and superior reliability. A new optical physical layer standard has been developed, IEEE Std 802.3cz, supporting rates between 2.5 and 50 Gb/s. The workshop brings together points of view of the main actors involved in the complete solution, i.e. car manufacturer, network, ECU manufacturer, fibre cable interconnections, test and measurement, reliability, photonics and IC design as well as packaging.
