CAN SIC: Same two wires. Cleaner signal. 🚗

As CAN FD networks operate at higher data rates, signal reflections can become a challenge, particularly in more complex network topologies.

CAN Signal Improvement Capability (SIC) helps address this by reducing signal ringing at the physical layer. The benefits include:

✅ Improved signal integrity

✅ Greater flexibility in network topology

✅ Support for CAN FD data rates up to 8 Mbit/s, depending on the implementation

✅ Compatibility with conventional CAN networks

Swipe through this helpful carousel from our colleagues at Intrepid Control Systems Europe to explore how CAN SIC works and why it matters for next-generation vehicle networking.

What challenges have you encountered when designing higher-speed CAN networks?

We are excited to announce an all-new product, which we will showcase at the upcoming Automotive Testing Expo, starting on October 27th in Novi, Michigan.

Meet FireFlash OEM from Intrepid Control Systems, a Plant Flashing Server that incorporates vehicle-specific recipes, live-cycle tracking, and plant-wide traceability.

On the line, operators simply scan the VIN and the server picks the right recipe for that exact vehicle, builds the software package with the VIN already written in, and flashes multiple ECUs in parallel.

Because operators never pick a file, they can’t pick the wrong one. Every cycle is recorded: VIN, ECU, software part, operator, station, timestamps, and every UDS step.

Supervisors and quality teams can follow the whole plant live in a browser, with nothing to install. They see vehicle yield and ECU yield tracked separately, failure Paretos down to the individual service, and alerts for missing software before the vehicle arrives.

Join us at the Automotive Testing Expo, Oct. 27th - Oct. 29th, at Vibe Credit Union Showplace in Novi, Michigan (stand T1202), to see FireFlash OEM in action, along with other Intrepid solutions.

It’s been an awesome week at The Battery Show in downtown Detroit, where we have unveiled our new AI platforms to conference attendees.

Intrepid is known for our “secret sauce,” which includes both our cutting-edge software and hardware solutions and literal bottles of neoVI FIRE 3 COMPUTE hot sauce!

Governor Gretchen Whitmer, featured in this video, now has her own bottle, as we were fortunate enough to meet her on a walk-through of the show floor with her Michigan.gov team.

Join Arpan Rughani and Juan Nava as they demo our new groundbreaking hardware solutions on display this week. Arpan covers the RAD-Lacerta, complete with an IR sensor, HMDI, programmable buttons, and a GPS, plus an add-on module with CAD FD and 10BASE-T1S.

You will also see an all-new simulator, programmable with the Intrepid AI SDK for any of your favorite Frontier models and custom prompts.

Meanwhile, Juan expands on the capabilities of the neoVI FIRE 3 COMPUTE, a rugged device that doesn’t just capture data but processes, understands, and acts on it in real time. As Juan notes, Intrepid customers can now harness AI to optimize their workflows and save time.

Stop by Booth 1402 here at to learn more and get your bottle of “secret sauce,” just like Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer!

This week, we hosted Vincent Lombardi from the Argonne National Laboratory EcoCAR Challenge at our HQ in Troy, Michigan, to receive preliminary Intrepid equipment kits for the EcoCAR program.

Our Director of Manufacturing, Kevin Kitlinski, led a manufacturing tour, while Intrepid team members visited Western Michigan University to support their first year in the program.
​
Intrepid Control Systems is a supplier sponsor for a four-year project with 20 other universities across the United States, using General Motors and Stellantis vehicle platforms donated to teams.

Still time to register and join us tomorrow for a free hands-on seminar on Vehicle Spy 10BASE-T1S.

As the name suggests, this class introduces Ethernet basics with a focus on 10BASE-T1S. Throughout the morning tomorrow, we will cover the physical layer, Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA), line encoding, and burst mode. We will also cover zonal architectures, an important consideration in an era of software-defined vehicles.

Like all Intrepid classes, Vehicle Spy 10BASE-T1S will focus on practical applications, including setting up a RAD-Comet 2, observing received frames, creating and transmitting messages, and observing special symbols on the bus.
