2026-02-18 · KD

KD's KD725xD integrated optoelectronic device has successfully completed its first electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) trials, confirming outstanding immunity and emissions performance ahead of final qualification testing scheduled for March 2026.

The EMC tests were conducted at IDNEO's accredited laboratory, validating the device's robustness against electromagnetic interference — a critical requirement for automotive-grade components operating in demanding vehicle environments.

These results represent a significant milestone in the qualification process of the KD725xD, which integrates optical and electronic functionality in a single chip for high-speed in-vehicle data transmission. The device is designed to support the IEEE 802.3cz standard for automotive multigigabit optical Ethernet communications.

The successful EMC trials reinforce KD's commitment to delivering automotive-grade solutions that meet the stringent quality and reliability requirements of the global automotive industry.
