A8 Serial Interface

A8 Serial Interface
Where high data throughput is required, ATI offers its proven A8 Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Serial Interface modules. Designed specifically for automotive environments, the A8 Serial Interface module has been developed to read data from and write data to the ECU’s microprocessor memory regions reliably and quickly.


Available in both USB and Ethernet variants, ATI’s A8 Serial Interface modules support ECU high-speed data acquisition, calibration and flashing in a single OCDS, Nexus, or DAP2 debug interface. ATI’s A8 Ethernet connectivity is as easy to use as USB, enabling long distance connections of up to 50 meters with enhanced data transfer.


ATI recommends use of VISION™ calibration and data acquisition software to seamlessly accommodate time stamps and data synchronization. However, ASAM XCP communication protocol support, available for both USB and Ethernet variants, ensures compatibility of the A8 irrespective of software tool selection.

Product Features:
  • Support for high speed ECU data acquisition, calibration and flashing through OCDS, Nexus, or DAP2 debug interfaces
  • Fast validation and synchronization of ECU code calibration data
  • Dynamic data rates allow easier configuration of the ECU acquisition
  • Intelligent flashing by optimizing algorithms that shorten flash time and minimize memory degradation caused by repeated operations
  • Dynamic overlay support that allows calibration of memory larger than available emulation memory
  • Power Management for minimal current draw from target; including low current sleep mode
