Zone controllers are a key part of next-generation electric and electronic (E/E) architectures in vehicles, allowing the integration of end-node functionalities into fewer electronic control units (ECUs).

This automotive-grade reference design enables a zone controller implementation through streamlined evaluation of key component features and a flexible joint development model that allows automakers to focus purely on their differentiating software while optimizing the vehicle BOM.

This reference design is offering system-level performance indicators on power, wake-up, latency and performance, among others, for quick evaluation and fast time to market.
