KDPOF on RTVE: Automotive Chips Made in Spain

, ,

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.

Spanish Company Willing to Manufacture Chips ‘Made in Spain’ in the Midst of Supply Crisis

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

Demo setup of the optical multi-gigabit system solution from KDPOF for in-vehicle connectivity

ELIV 2021: System Solution for Optical Communications in Vehicles

, , ,

Together with several industry leaders, KDPOF is working on an optical automotive multi-gigabit system that will fulfill the needs of future connected and automated vehicles. Instead of various port components, the new solution provides a single, complete package. “As the auto industry approaches the 50 Gb/s*m speed-length threshold, the move from copper to optical physical data transmission media is becoming mandatory,” stated Carlos Pardo, CEO and Co-founder of KDPOF. “Optical is the engineering-wise path for higher data rates.” The new connector systems are very small, lightweight and extremely inexpensive compared to the previous ones. With the comprehensive EVK9351AUT evaluation kit, automotive manufacturers and suppliers can already test the new configuration at 1 Gbit/s today. KDPOF thus supports easy project entry into optical gigabit connectivity for a secure Ethernet backbone and ADAS sensor connections in vehicles. Read more
