LV124 / LV148 Evolution of Automotive ECU Complexity and InVehicle Networks
ECU Complexity & In-Vehicle Networks – Are You Ready for the Bandwidth Revolution?
Over the past years, vehicles have shifted from dozens of independent ECUs to a few high-performance controllers – and with this change comes a new challenge: the evolution of in-vehicle communication buses.
In Part 3 of our series on automotive megatrends, we explored:
✔️ Why Automotive Ethernet (100/1000BASE-T1) is becoming the backbone for modern vehicles
✔️ How GMSL / FPD-Link / APIX links are gaining ground as camera and display interfaces
✔️ Why legacy buses like CAN / LIN still matter – but play different roles
✔️ What this means for electrical testing under LV124 / LV148, especially short interruptions and signal integrity
We see a strong trend toward fewer, but more broadband ECUs. Testing these new units under real-world electrical stress requires systems that can handle both high currents and high-speed interfaces – synchronized, automated, and reliable.
At WKS Informatik GmbH, we’re proud to support this transition.
With RTStand LV124 / LV148 we offer:
Automated short-interruption tests for high-speed interfaces
Support for Ethernet, CAN, LIN, FlexRay – and future-ready for GMSL2/3, APIX3, SerDes
Scalable, modular test setups ready for the software-defined vehicle era
Let’s talk about how we can help future-proof your validation process.
