What is a wiring harness?

  • Packaging

hierarchy from transistor to system

  • Wires dominate

the content of electronics in systems

  • Harnesses are

wires that form Level 4 connections

Advantages

  • Dramatic time reduction

– Reduces weeks and months to minutes

  • Flexibility

– Accommodate last minute changes – Fixing errors after the fact

  • Diagnostic enhancement

– Form temporary probes without dismantling system

  • Robustness

– Ability to route around damage – Ability to make self-healing

Cell Implementation

  • Cells are self-contained (5cm x 5cm)
  • Contains local routing (~70 relays)
  • Communicate using six I2C busses

– 4 neighbors (N-E-W-S) (local) – 1 cell-to-module – 1 cell-to-host (global)

Cell Management Unit

  • Manages global panel of cells

– Computes connections – Manages cell and modules – Implements dynamic changes

  • Implements wiring harness as netlist
  • Netlist programmed SPICE language
  • Route algorithms
  • Graphical User Interface (GUI) simplifies user

interaction

Conclusions

  • Adaptive wiring can have significant

advantages over fixed designs (speed, flexibility, robustness)

  • Adaptive wiring architecture has been

described

  • Cellular version of adaptive wiring harness

has been designed and partial panel has been demonstrated

  • Within next year a full scale version will be

available for further study
