Cadence’s Sanjeet Kumar introduces the message bus interface in the PHY Interface for the PCIe, SATA, USB, DisplayPort, and USB4 Architectures (PIPE) specification, which provides a way to initiate and participate in non-latency-sensitive PIPE operations using a small number of wires.

Siemens’ Dennis Brophy argues that the recently published Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS) 3.0 will revolutionize the way system-level design and verification engineers approach their work by offering a host of new features and enhancements designed to boost productivity and efficiency.

Synopsys’ Steffen Ragnow provides an overview of the optical design workflow for an automotive headlamp using total internal reflection (TIR) lenses, along with design options with TIR devices for high and low beam applications.

Keysight’s Hieng Ling Tie explains the multiple communication modes under the Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) umbrella, the benefits and drawbacks of Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) versus Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (CV2X), and why testing V2X systems is critical.

Ansys’ Srikanth Adya notes that while ‘safety at any cost’ is a nice ideal, reduced developmental timetables and budgetary limitations mean that engineers may be forced to prioritize safety aspects thought to reduce accident severity or to seek more cost-friendly strategies, such as the phased implementation of safety features.

Arm’s Madhusudan Rao lists many of the top considerations involved when building products that are functionally safe for increasingly complex automotive systems.

In a blog for SEMI, Silicon Assurance’s Pavani Jella warns that evolving cyber threats and sophisticated attacks make it essential for vendors to integrate advanced security measures into their design and development workflows for IP and SoCs.
