2025-08-13

KD will be present at SEMICON Taiwan from September 10 to 12. The event, which will take place on Taipei, celebrates its 30th anniversary as an international benchmark in the sector. This year, more than 100,000 visitors and 1,200 companies are expected to attend.

At stand X0004 in the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, our Asian team with David Cheng and Hiro Cheng will showcase the KD7251, which is the first transceiver that is compliant with the IEEE Std 802.3cz standard specification for multigigabit glass optical fiber (GOF) automotive Ethernet. It implements the nGBASE-AU physical layers in a single-chip solution, supporting 10, 5, 2.5 Gb/s. In addition, it includes bridging functionalities to enable the connectivity of sensors, displays, and processors in the vehicle.

The KD7251 is qualified for automotive standards at AEC-Q100 grade-2 environment. As native automotive part, it supports MACsec, ASIL-B FuSa, TSN, Wake-up & Sleep, OAM, and dependability functions. Thus, the transceiver enables a broad range of use cases with optical technology, such as multigigabit ethernet backbone, zonal gateway connectivity, smart antenna link, and connectivity for radars, cameras, lidar, displays, and high-performance computing units.

We look forward to meeting you at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, to show you our new technology.
