Join Teledyne LeCroy for this new 4‑part webinar series on testing automotive networks—from legacy CAN and LIN to high-speed Ethernet and next-generation SerDes technologies.
In-vehicle networks are rapidly evolving from traditional architectures to domain-based designs with Ethernet gateways and further to zonal architectures featuring specialized controllers and ultra-fast backbone connections that enable advanced ADAS, infotainment, and autonomous driving. This series includes information on all architectures, technologies and technology-specific electrical test requirements.
Each webinar will run about 60 minutes and include a live Q&A.
Part 1: Fundamentals of In-vehicle Network (IVN) Bus Systems
Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2026
Time: 11 AM Pacific | 2 PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes
In this webinar, we’ll explore the evolution of in-vehicle network (IVN) architectures—from classic designs to domain-based systems to zonal architectures. We’ll review the fundamentals of the IVN ecosystem, highlight the benefits of these new architectures, and discuss the design challenges they introduce. The session concludes with an overview of electrical test requirements and the analysis tools available to troubleshoot and qualify designs effectively.
Part 2: How to Compliance Test In-Vehicle Network (IVN) Bus Systems Using Oscilloscopes and TDRs
Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2026
Time: 11 AM Pacific | 2 PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes
In this webinar, we’ll explain why physical media attachment (PMA) compliance testing is essential—to guarantee interoperability, preserve signal integrity and meet Automotive Ethernet (IEEE/Open Alliance) and SerDes specifications. We’ll outline the key PMA tests and instruct on how to set them up using oscilloscopes and TDRs with automated compliance toolkits.
Part 3: How to Debug In-Vehicle Network (IVN) Bus Systems Using Oscilloscopes
Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2026
Time: 11 AM Pacific | 2 PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes
In this webinar, we will examine IVN link communication and show how to identify root causes of problems and efficiently debug point-to-point and multidrop architectures using an oscilloscope that analyzes both physical and protocol layers. We’ll instruct on how advanced triggering isolates critical protocol events, how real-time decoding correlates packet data with analog waveforms, and how eye diagram analysis quickly reveals signal quality.
Part 4: How to Measure and Qualify Cables and Connectors for Use in In-vehicle Network (IVN) Bus Systems
Date: Tuesday, July 14, 2026
Time: 11 AM Pacific | 2 PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes
In this webinar, we’ll explain why impedance-related measurements, such as return loss, mode conversion loss, and channel insertion loss are critical for Automotive Ethernet and SerDes standards such as ASA Motion Link and MIPI A-PHY. These losses affect signal integrity and interoperability, making accurate testing essential. We’ll review the basics of impedance analysis and S-parameters, then explain how TDR instruments are calibrated and perform measurements, and instruct about de-embedding techniques that can accelerate debugging during design validation.
