Automotive HPCs and ECUs

TE provides high-performance, miniaturized, and innovative connectivity solutions for automotive HPCs and ECUs

The automotive industry is undergoing a radical transformation as vehicle architectures evolve from decentralized ECUs to centralized domain-based and zonal designs.  This shift is driven by advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving capabilities, and connected vehicle technologies, all of which demand unprecedented data processing speeds and power distribution efficiency.
At the core of this revolution, high-performance computers (HPCs) and electronic control units(ECUs) require advanced connectivity solutions that combine three critical capabilities: high-speed Ethernet and PCIe connectivity for multi-gigabit data transfer, integrated power delivery systems, and space-efficient PCB-level interconnects – all while meeting rigorous automotive reliability standards.
TE Connectivity addresses these challenges with automotive-grade connectivity solutions, delivering high-performance, compact connectivity engineered for current and next-gen HPCs and ECUs.
