Components Supply Chain Management

GSAS Engineering · · 1 min read

Surprises can be fun. Surprise parties, surprise gifts and possibly surprise visits (depending on whom). Supply chain surprises on the other hand are no fun at all; they can derail your budget, deadlines, and build quality.

When electronic components become obsolete, design and production can suffer lengthy delays. With an average of 15 end-of-life notices issued every day, part obsolescence is a challenge that most engineers routinely face. In this webinar, you’ll learn about: - Introduction to IHS MarkitⓇ - Component supply information - Lifecycle status - Locate obsolete components in completed projects - Component replacement

100BASE-T1 Link Won't Come Up: A Vendor-Neutral Checklist

A 100BASE-T1 link that will not come up is almost never a mystery, but the answers on the web are written per silicon vendor and do not transfer. This is the ordered bring-up checklist that holds regardless of which PHY, switch or SoC you have: physical layer first, then the PHY over MDIO, then the master and slave pairing, then the causes of a link that comes up and drops. The standards and tooling claims trace to IEEE 802.3 task force records, the Linux ethtool and kernel documentation or published test material.

10BASE-T1S and PLCA: Multidrop Ethernet Explained

10BASE-T1S is the one member of the T1 single-pair Ethernet family that keeps a shared medium, and PLCA is the reconciliation sublayer that stops the nodes on it from colliding. This article covers what IEEE 802.3cg standardises, how the beacon and transmit opportunities schedule a cycle, the node count and segment length figures the OPEN Alliance interoperability test suite works to, and the failure modes that put a segment quietly back into contention while every link still looks up. Written by the GSAS Micro Systems engineering team in India for teams bringing up multidrop segments on the bench.

ADAS Sensor Data Logging: Bandwidth Budgets That Add Up

Every page that tells you an ADAS test vehicle produces terabytes a day states the headline and skips the arithmetic, so you cannot redo it for your own sensor set. This article publishes the arithmetic instead: one formula, every table row derived on the page, a worked eight-hour drive that chains those rows into a sustained write rate, a media count and an offload window, and the five places bandwidth budgets go wrong. Written by the GSAS Micro Systems engineering team in India.
