Q&A: How EV architectures are changing high-speed connectivity
As electric vehicles (EVs) add more cameras, radar, and other high-bandwidth sensors, the amount of data moving through the vehicle continues to grow. At the same time, those data links have to operate alongside high-voltage power electronics that can generate significant electromagnetic interference (EMI). That creates challenges for signal integrity and vehicle wiring. Shielding and…
