Compatible hardware

Note
The Automotive Ethernet interface is not compatible with the standard Ethernet interfaces of ETAS modules. A CBEB10x.1 Media Converter or an ES88x ECU Interface Module is needed to connect the BR_XETK-S3.0 to the PC.

Requirements for failsafe automotive ethernet operation

For failsafe operation of the Automotive Ethernet communication channel, all customer specific installations - including cables, connectors, and board adaptations have be compliant to:

IEEE Std. 802.3bwTM-2015, “Amendment 1: Physical Layer Specifications and Management Parameters for 100 Mb/s Operation over a Single BalancedTwisted Pair Cable (100BASE-T1)”.
Open Alliance, “BroadR-Reach® Definitions for Communication Channel, Version 2.0”.

Note
To achieve an appropriate channel performance all PCB board and cable segments have to be optimized with regard to line impedance matching, length matching within the differential net routing or twisted pair cabling and on the reduction of untwisted regions. Stub segments must be avoided for the Pointto-Point cable connection in favor of inline connectors and shielding measures shall be considered depending on the operation environment.
