Sung Min Kim, CEO of TSN Lab, and Alexander Noack, Head of Data Communication & Computing at Fraunhofer IPMS, are looking forward to working together on the German-Korean project
Fraunhofer IPMS is collaborating with South Korea’s TSN Lab to develop next-generation 10Base-T1S IP cores for automotive and industrial communication systems. The initiative is part of the “Global Cooperative R&D” funding program organized by the Korean Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS) and supported by the Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs (TIPA).
Following the completion of a six-month preliminary Phase 1 study led by TSN Lab, the project now enters its main development phase. The initial phase validated market potential for 10Base-T1S technology through requirement analyses with automotive manufacturers and benchmarking of existing semiconductor solutions.
Scalable Ethernet for modern vehicle and industrial networks
10Base-T1S is a low-speed Ethernet PHY standard and the only Ethernet solution supporting multi-drop connectivity. It is increasingly viewed as a key technology for consolidating legacy automotive and industrial networks such as CAN and LIN into unified Ethernet-based architectures.
By reducing cabling complexity, lowering system costs and minimizing vehicle weight, 10Base-T1S offers clear advantages for automotive platforms, industrial automation and robotics applications.
Silicon-proven IP development
Fraunhofer IPMS contributes more than two decades of experience in ASIC, FPGA and SoC design, supported by over 200 international licenses. The institute will provide expertise in microelectronics design, verification and system integration to accelerate development of production-ready IP solutions.
According to Alexander Noack, Division Director Data Communication and Computing at Fraunhofer IPMS, expanding the TSN IP core portfolio is critical for enabling scalable, real-time connectivity in automotive and industrial environments.
The German-Korean collaboration aims to deliver a robust, silicon-proven 10Base-T1S IP solution tailored to next-generation automotive and industrial requirements, supporting broader international adoption, including in European markets.
