TEWS TPMC160 Automotive Sensor Simulator

Application Information

The TPMC160 is a standard single-width 32 bit PMC

module and supports a 33 MHz / 32-bit universal (5 V / 3.3

V) PCI interface.

The TPMC160 offers eight isolated automotive sensor

simulator channels, which can act as a PSI5 or as wheel

speed sensor. The sensor simulation supports a current

sink with three adjustable levels. It also features PSI5

Sync and Reset pulse detection. The sensor simulation

channels are isolated against the system and against each other.

PSI5 support includes PSI5-P, -U and -D bus topologies

and both 125 kbps and 189 kbps transmission rates.

Technical Information

Asynchronous and Variable Time Triggered Synchronous

Operation Modes are supported.

Wheel speed sensor support covers two- and three

current levels sensors, sensors with additional status

information and the “AK-protocol”.

All TPMC160 signals are accessible through a HD50

SCSI-2 type front I/O connector.

Software Support (TPMC160-SW-xx) for different

operating systems is available.
