Purpose-Built for Automotive Ethernet Engineering
As modern vehicles continue adopting Automotive Ethernet, engineers need hardware designed specifically for communicating with single-pair Ethernet networks used by today's ECUs. The AE-1000 bridges the gap between standard Ethernet equipment and Automotive Ethernet, providing reliable communication for development, diagnostics, and validation throughout the engineering lifecycle.
​
Designed for use in laboratories, test cells, engineering benches, and prototype vehicles, the AE-1000 supports everything from initial ECU integration to final system validation. Flexible network configuration allows it to adapt to a wide range of Automotive Ethernet environments, while its compact, rugged design makes it easy to deploy wherever development takes place.
​
As part of ATI's Automotive Ethernet Adapter family, the AE-1000 delivers a dedicated solution for engineers working with Ethernet-based vehicle networks while complementing ATI's broader calibration, measurement, and development ecosystem.
Applications
ECU Development
Support communication workflows used during ECU integration and development activities.
Vehicle Diagnostics
Enable access to Ethernet-enabled vehicle systems during diagnostics and engineering analysis.
Validation & Testing
Deploy within engineering validation environments requiring Automotive Ethernet communication.
Engineering Laboratories & Benches
Use within laboratory and bench environments supporting Ethernet-based vehicle architectures.
Prototype Vehicle Development
Support engineering communication workflows during prototype vehicle testing and integration.
Automotive Ethernet Network Communication
Modern vehicles continue to rely on Automotive Ethernet to support advanced ECUs, increasing data bandwidth, and more complex electronic architectures. The AE-1000 provides a dedicated interface for connecting engineering workstations to 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 vehicle networks, enabling reliable communication throughout development and validation.
Whether working with prototype vehicles, development benches, or test systems, the AE-1000 helps engineers access Ethernet-enabled ECUs using the physical layer designed specifically for automotive applications. Rather than adapting standard networking hardware, engineers can work directly with Automotive Ethernet using an interface built for vehicle development.

From Bench Development to Vehicle Testing
Development rarely happens in one location. Hardware often moves between engineering benches, HIL systems, laboratories, prototype vehicles, and validation environments throughout a project. The AE-1000 is designed to support these changing workflows with a compact IP40 enclosure, flexible power options, and an automotive-ready design that is equally at home on the bench or in the vehicle.
​
Its small footprint makes it easy to integrate into existing development setups without adding unnecessary complexity, allowing the same interface to remain part of the workflow from initial integration through final validation.
Configurable for Real-World Engineering
Every development program has unique communication requirements. The AE-1000 includes hardware-selectable operating modes that allow engineers to configure the interface for different Automotive Ethernet environments without changing hardware.
​
Support for Commander or Responder operation, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps communication, automatic or manual negotiation, and both legacy Gigabit A0 and IEEE Gigabit A2 operation allows the interface to adapt to a wide range of ECUs and network configurations encountered throughout development.
