Abstract
Today’s electronic automotive designs include a
combination of analog, digital, and serial bus signal content. Embedded
automotive designs usually consist of distributed microcontroller-based
networks with serial bus communications such as CAN, LIN, MOST, and/or FlexRay. Automotive design engineers have traditionally
used oscilloscopes to test their analog signals — logic analyzers and trace
debuggers to test their digital parallel I/O signals — and protocol analyzers
to test and debug serial buses. But a class of measurement tool known as a
mixed signal oscilloscope (MSO) may be a superior tool allowing for
time-correlated testing of all three types of signals in one instrument. Using
an example of an electronic automotive design utilizing CAN serial communication,
this paper not only discusses the various MSO performance characteristics
required to test and verify this type of design, but also shows a debugging
methodology to uncover a random and infrequent signal integrity problem on the
differential CAN bus.
Intended Audience:
This paper is intended primarily for embedded
hardware designers developing various automotive electronics that utilize CAN,
LIN, or FlexRay serial communication. Although this
paper presents an example of debugging an automotive application, the basic
troubleshooting concepts presented in this seminar can be applied to a much
broader area of embedded design — not just automotive.
