Mouser Spotlights Automotive Zonal Architecture in New eBook from TE Connectivity and Microchip Technology

December 5, 2024 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, today announces a new eBook in collaboration with TE Connectivity, a world leader in connectors and sensors, and Microchip Technology, offering an in-depth look at how zonal architecture is helping designers keep pace with the increasing complexity of automotive systems, and how it represents a fundamental change in how vehicles are constructed.

Zonal architecture optimizes vehicle performance by creating distinct zones within the vehicle that cater to specific functionalities and implementing vehicle compute platforms. In Zonal Architecture: Delivering New Standards of Connectivity for Automotive and Beyond, subject matter experts from across the automotive industry, including from TE and Microchip, offer their perspectives on how zonal architecture is evolving, how it is being integrated, and the opportunities it is offering for designers in the automotive industry and beyond. The eBook also includes examples from TE and Microchip's wide portfolios of automotive-grade products, including connectivity and sensor solutions and microcontrollers.

TE's GEMnet differential connector system series provides bandwidth up to 15GHz and supports data transmission up to 56Gbps, making them suitable for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and high-resolution displays.

The NanoMQS connector system, also from TE, features a miniature design, reducing the PCB footprint by up to 50% while maintaining a 6A current capacity. These connectors are ideal for battery/cell control modules, engine control units, airbags, and black box applications with extreme space constraints.

The TE Connectivity MCP hybrid coaxial connectors are designed for connections passing through the firewall within a vehicle to connect the front and rear cameras. Typical applications for these connectors also include telemetry units, antennas, firewall vehicle-to-everything (V2X), and GPS.

Microchip's LAN8770 100BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY transceivers are compact, cost-effective, single-port devices compliant with the IEEE 802.3bw-2015 specification. These devices are optimized for AEC-Q100 automotive use cases such as ADAS, infotainment, telematics, smart antennas, and in-vehicle backbones.

The dsPIC33CDVC256MP506 integrated motor drivers, also from Microchip, combine a digital signal controller (DSC) with a full-bridge MOSFET gate driver designed for 3-phase BLDC motor control and a CAN transceiver for automotive communications. Applications include cooling fans, gas, oil and water pumps, compressors, valves, actuators, and turbochargers.

The Microchip MCP998 automotive temperature sensors support accurate thermal monitoring across up to five channels. With up to five channels of monitoring and several alert and shutdown options for security, this product family can support systems that supervise more than one thermal element. Monitoring temperatures at multiple locations with a single, integrated temperature sensor reduces board complexity and size and simplifies design for a lowered bill of material (BOM).
