Multi-Device Communication Optimization

Client Overview

The client is a market leader in manufacturing electronic components and provides solutions for a wide range of industries, including automotive, consumer/home appliances, telecoms, industrial, commercial vehicle and data communications.

Technology & Business Requirements

Unstable communication between transceivers (transmitter and receiver), SFP+ (small form-factor pluggable plus) and host system
- Client’s product being a part of their solution to a large networking OEM, the device needs to seamlessly communicate on high frequencies without any I2C failure affecting their customer experience

VOLANSYS Contribution

Identified multiple failure scenarios in existing devices
Integrated the I2C driver to run on all frequency (range between 100KHz and 400KHZ) and I2C modes without any data loss
Developed firmware for reliable communication between the transceivers, SFP+ and host system
Verified the device using an automated test setup for all frequency and modes
Performed SI (Signal Integrity) analysis
Prepared design document from code (reverse engineered) for better understanding of software architecture for developers in future
