High-speed communication technologies are becoming increasingly important in modern vehicles. ASA-ML (ASA Motion Link) is developing as an open, vendor-neutral standard for in-vehicle networking. GÖPEL electronic, a specialist in automotive measurement technology, has now joined the Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA), which was established in 2019 to develop an open standard based on high-speed SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) technology. Through this membership, GÖPEL electronic aims to contribute its technical expertise, support the development of the standard and help advance solutions for automotive communication systems.
ASA-ML is designed to transmit large amounts of data from high-resolution cameras, LiDAR and radar sensors to vehicle control units. With data speeds of up to 16 Gbps per lane, it can support the high communication demands of Level 3 and higher autonomous driving systems. As modern vehicles use more sensors and generate increasing amounts of data, this technology offers a reliable way to transfer information quickly. GÖPEL electronic is already preparing its automotive measurement solutions for ASA-ML. For example, its Video Dragon frame grabber and generator, used to test and validate industrial cameras, displays and electronic control units (ECUs), already supports the standard.
