- KD7251 optical transceiver will debut at AutoSens Europe 2026.
- Optical connectivity supports remote sensor management and monitoring.
KD to Demonstrate 10GBASE-AU Automotive Optical Camera
On August 25, KD announced that it will participate in AutoSens Europe 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, from September 22–24, 2026. The company will showcase its 10GBASE-AU automotive optical camera demo, developed jointly with Leopard Imaging and Corning. The real-world camera implementation uses the KD7251 optical transceiver and demonstrates its MIPI CSI-2 extension capabilities, supporting a four-lane D-PHY interface with speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps per lane. The demonstration is designed to highlight high-speed optical connectivity for automotive camera and sensor applications.
Optical Connectivity Adds Sensor Management Capabilities
Beyond high-speed data transmission, the optical connection enables management and monitoring of the remote sensor node, extending its functionality beyond camera-data transport. An integrated KD firmware library optimized for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin platform is intended to simplify system integration and accelerate development. The demonstration brings together optical connectivity, camera interfaces, remote sensor management, and platform-level software support in a practical automotive implementation. KD will also contribute to the AutoSens Europe technical program, adding its expertise to the event's technical discussions in Barcelona, Spain.
