In the course of V5G Days from May 30-31 in València, Spain, and online, Carlos Pardo participated in the panel discussion “The Microelectronics Industry in Europe: Recovery or Reinvention?” He summarized the roundtable: “I very much enjoyed the informative talk with representatives from the Spanish semiconductor industry about PERTE, Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation in Spain. KDPOF will soon start mass production of semiconductor packaging and testing in Spain of our own products and third parties ones, thanks to IPCEI (Important Project of Common European Interest) and PERTE.”
Spain had approved the Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation with an important invest in microchips and technology companies. It is essential because we have in Spain some companies that create technological and electronic components and equipment but depend on Asia for manufacturing since they don’t have the capacity to produce microchips on their own. The project PERTE will invest an important quantity of Euros to help these companies for manufacturing. As Carlos Pardo stated in the interview, it could get an important growth in these small companies and also attract private invest resulting in a general economic growth.

This video about automotive multi-gigabit optical connectivity presents the standardized solution under development by KDPOF to reach a 50 Gb/s bit rate over 40 meters of wiring harness. In the process, we’ll comply with the hardest OEM’s EMC specs, and meeting all automotive requirements in terms of operational temperature, reliability, ageing, mechanical loads, chemical loads, dirtiness and harsh environments in general. And all this with outstanding low power and low cost. Please, follow us to the KDPOF labs and we’ll show you a demo of our multi-gigabit solution: 50 Gb/s optical transmission for automotive.
At the recent CES 2022, Funzin and KDPOF have jointly presented their optical in-vehicle network solution for autonomous vehicles. Funzin, software development and edge AI solution company, have implemented KDPOF’s KD1053 PHY IC and integrated KD9351 FOT (fiber optic transceiver) in the new Funzin AIoT Platform “FAIP 3.0” and Edge AI Device “Photon” for automotive.

Alix Paultre, editor of Electronic Design, has talked with Kenny Yoon, Business Development Manager for South Korea and India at KDPOF, about using optical networking to empower advanced automotive functionality. KDPOF provides innovative high-speed optical networking for harsh environments. Making gigabit communications over fiber optics a reality, KDPOF technology supplies 1-Gb/s plastic optical fiber (POF) links for automotive, industrial, and home networks.
KDPOF has displayed their high-speed connectivity solutions for the communications in vehicle data networks at the IEEE SA Ethernet & IP @ Automotive Technology Days from November 3 to 4, 2021 in Munich, Germany, and online. Optical connectivity perfectly solves the electrical challenges and interference in vehicles thanks to its low weight, low cost, and electromagnetic compatibility due to inherent galvanic isolation.

Report by RTVE: The Madrid-based company KDPOF, based in Tres Cantos, will put chips on the market in 2024. The shortage and the EU’s commitment to attract the technology industry, a business opportunity.
There is a shortage of chips, that’s a fact. The causes of this supply crisis are diverse: distribution problems stemming from the pandemic, increased demand and even geostrategic issues. But experts agree that one of the most influential factors is the enormous technical complexity behind the manufacture of each chip. Read more
