Overview
BRidge4Net is a unique device in the market developed for converting 100BASE-TX (conventional Ethernet) to 100BASE-T1 (BroadR-Reach™ Ethernet).
Featuring link error diagnosis, it is the ideal option for all test systems applications in the automotive industry and/or ATE’s suppliers that require conversion to Ethernet. It integrates proprietary design and compact housing, resulting in an efficient, robust, and easy-to-install device.
Configuration
The stand-alone version is supplied inside a small box easy to integrate and connect to be used in the laboratory or bench.
The base version is supplied as a barebone PCB easy to integrate and connect to to be embedded in a JIG or test equipment.
With mounting holes and a flexible power input, both versions are simple to integrate. The power connector can be customized as requested within mechanical possibilities.
BRidge4Net configuration allows the reduction of cabling complexity, ensuring a quick and easy installation, debug and maintenance.
It can be redesigned to meet specific space constraints or any other specific need.
Main applications
The careful design of the BRidge4Net converter makes it best suited for integration of high-end test systems for the automotive industry, such as radars, infotainment, and rear/front camera test systems.
Examples include applications in climatic chambers; run-in, burn-in and any multi-DUT ATE, and In-Circuit Testing, Functional Testing and Flash Programming.
