Meeting Today’s Automotive Testing Challenges with Confidence

As vehicle architectures evolve with growing electrification, autonomous systems, and advanced connectivity, the demands on automotive testing have never been greater. Engineers face increasing complexity across domains—from high-speed serial data and power electronics to EMI/EMC and in-vehicle networks—all under tighter development timelines and stringent industry standards.

Common challenges include:

• Validating complex power systems: Electric and hybrid vehicles introduce new power architectures, requiring precision testing of wide-bandgap semiconductors (SiC, GaN), inverter controls, and battery management systems (BMS).
• High-speed data integrity: Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and infotainment platforms rely on high-speed buses like Automotive Ethernet, MIPI and PCIe®, and MIPI, along with other data standards like SERDES. These support the demanding signal integrity validation at the physical and protocol levels.
• EMC and compliance: With more high-frequency components packed into tighter spaces, achieving EMC compliance while maintaining performance is increasingly difficult.
• Multidomain synchronization: Engineers must correlate power, signal, and protocol data across mechanical, electrical, and digital domains to identify root causes of transient and intermittent issues.
