About the Team — High Speed Data Interface Product Group
The
High Speed Data Interface product group
focuses on the development of differentiated high-speed
SerDes SoCs
targeted for
automotive and industrial markets . There are two primary focus areas —
Ethernet PHY
and
FPD-Link .
Ethernet PHY Group:
A large number of applications — like in-vehicle driver alertness monitors, steering, or accelerator control in automotive and robotic applications — require an Ethernet interface. The ubiquity of Ethernet-enabled devices allows customers to simplify connecting large numbers of devices in automotive and robotic environments. Customers expect
robust performance
in the presence of interference and ESD events, along with processing offload capabilities.
The low-cost migration from CAN to Ethernet presents unique challenges requiring interdisciplinary skills with aggressive cost and power targets.
FPD-Link Group:
The proprietary
FPD-Link interface
addresses
multi-gigabit (up to 20 Gbps)
automotive and industrial sensor and display markets. Constant increase in density of electronic sensing and display content is pushing data rate (>20 Gbps) and BER performance requirements higher. Automotive functional safety requirements demand robust performance at these high data rates under challenging environments while maintaining low power consumption.
The Broader Mission:
As part of this product group, you will be engaged in designing solutions spanning
Analog, Digital, and Signal Processing domains
to mitigate impairments such as high channel loss, ESD strikes, and narrowband interference. The team implements high-performance equalization circuits (CTLE, FFE, DFE), high-speed converters (DAC, ADC), high-speed digital
