Link checks FlexRay for EMC
The TTX-Optical Link is a compact device for electrical decoupling of FlexRay bus signals for EMC testing.
Among its members are such key players as Airbus, Eurocopter, MBDA, Thales, Hispano-Suiza, Dassault, Groupe Latecoere, Barco, and Sagem.
Among the associated partners are TNI-Software, Mentor Graphics, Summit Design, Esterel Technologies, TransEDA and, most recently, TTTech.
"We very much appreciate the added value of TTTech and their very impressive work expertise with DO-254", declared Lionel Burgaud, DO-254 Users Group Lead.
"This is why we all are happy to have TTTech on board the DO-254 Users Group".
TTTech belongs to the group of pioneering companies that started to actively apply the DO-254 design guidance to chip IP development.
The DO-254 certification activities for the TTTech hardware are a result of the company's participation in various commercial programmes with focus on more electric aerospace systems.
"The implementation of best practices and lessons learned in the DO-254 Users Group is a key to the design of high-quality components at lower costs, thereby increasing competitiveness and shortening time to market", stated Mirko Jakovljevic, Aerospace Marketing Manager at TTTech.
"Our experience in hardware component design using DO-254 will greatly contribute to the development of safe and fault-tolerant integrated systems in the aerospace industry".
TTTech's Time-Triggered Protocol (TTP) is a key technology for tight digital integration of safety-critical systems in "more electric" aircraft.
Communication controllers for TTP are developed with certification evidence in compliance with DO-254 objectives for the highest safety criticality requirements.
Austriamicrosystems' AS8202NF is the first time-triggered communication technology and TTP controller implementation with flight service history.
