ADI's New E2B 10BASE-T1S Technology

A common outcome is the move to zonal based architectures where connectivity is dictated by physical location rather than by function.
Automotive Ethernet plays a key role in enabling these new architectures. To fully leverage the opportunities these new architectures bring the need for new automotive Ethernet technologies to provide the most optimized implementation of the zonal architecture.
One of the key new technologies is IEEE802.3cg 10BASE-T1S to enable Ethernet connectivity all the way to the edge node. 10BASE-T1S provides the option of a multidrop bus topology ideal for connecting to edge sensors and actuators.
ADI’s 10BASE-T1S implementation, called E2B (Ethernet to the Edge Bus) is fully compliant to the IEEE802.3cg 10BASE-T1S product. It also integrates additional capability to aid the rollout of Ethernet to the edge. One key aspect is ADI’s Low Complexity Ethernet technology which enables an all hardware edge node implementation and the centralising of the software. This greatly simplifies the implementation of an Ethernet connected edge node while also bringing many system and product advantages such as, smaller form factor edge node, Simplified edge node implementation, Lower Latency, Lower power and no software qualification of the edge node.
In this video we demonstrate ADI’s E2B technology operating as part of an automotive zonal architecture connecting multiple sensors and actuators over a shared 10BASE-T1S bus with all nodes implemented using a complete hardware solution for Ethernet connectivity.
