Accellera Tackles Functional Safety
By Paul McLellan - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

During DAC, Accellera had a workshop about functional safety. In case you don't know, Accellera has a relatively new working group (WG) on Functional Safety. The chair is Cadence's Alessandra Nardi, who coincidentally also received the Marie Pistilli Award for Women in EDA during DAC (you can read more about that in my post Alessandra Nardi Receives Marie Pistilli Award for Women in EDA). But ... » read more

Smarter, Safer Surround-View For Cars
By Mike Barnes - 30 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 1

With modern advancements in automotive safety, we are seeing advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) such as surround-view become the new standard in modern cars. This demonstration shows how this application can be enhanced with the addition of accurate real-time reflections and AI to detect hazards that make cars safer. First, let’s start with the graphics problem. Have you ever l... » read more

Integrating FPGA: Comparison Of Chiplets Vs. eFPGA
By Geoff Tate - 15 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

FPGA is widely popular in systems for its flexibility and adaptability. Increasingly, it is being used in high volume applications. As volumes grow, system designers can consider integration of the FPGA into an SoC to reduce cost, reduce power and/or improve performance. There are two options for integrating FPGA into an SoC: FPGA chiplets, which replace the power hungry SERDES/PHYs wit... » read more

It’s Eternal Spring For AI
By Rama Chellappa - 14 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had many ups and downs largely due to unrealistic expectations created by everyone involved including researchers, sponsors, developers, and even consumers. The “reemergence” of AI has lot to do with recent developments in supporting technologies and fields such as sensors, computing at macro and micro scales, communication networks and progre... » read more

Mitigating The Effects Of Radiation On Advanced Automotive ICs
By Jacob Wiltgen - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

The safety considerations in an automotive IC application have similarities to what is seen in other safety critical industries, such as the avionics, space, and industrial sectors. ISO 26262 is the state-of-the-art safety standard guiding the safety activities and work products required for electronics deployed in an automotive system. ISO 26262 requires that a design be protected from the eff... » read more

Automotive Gateway IP Enabling Scalable Automotive Platforms
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 1

As automakers introduce new electronic platforms, the system architectures are changing from distributed ECUs to integrated domain compute modules. This evolution, along with the increased number and types of sensors for ADAS systems, is having a big impact on the automotive Ethernet network and gateway function. Automotive Ethernet and gateways do more than support mobile connectivity, they en... » read more

An Automotive Value Chain In Flux
By Kurt Shuler - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

When companies view suppliers from inside their specialized niches, it is tempting to imagine the business world will continue as-is, with just minimal improvements each year. But in the automotive value chain, this no longer holds. The rapid pace of innovation around intelligent systems in cars is disrupting the business flow. Back in simpler times, semiconductor companies would work with Tier... » read more

The Evolution Of Ethernet To 800G And MACsec Encryption
By Maxim Demchenko - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

Ethernet is a frame-based data communication technology that employs variable-sized frames to carry a data payload. This contrasts with long-haul Optical Transport Networks (OTN) that use fixed-sized frames. The size of Ethernet frames ranges from a minimum of 60 bytes up to 1500 bytes, and in case of jumbo frames, up to 9K bytes. A frame is a Layer 2 data container with the physical addresses ... » read more

Understand MOSFET Switch Behavior Via An LED Driver Simulation
By John Christopher Rice - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

Automotive incandescent bulbs have largely given way to more efficient, reliable, stylish, and even safer light emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs turn on in a fraction of the time and are especially useful in brake lamps, where fractions of a second matter. The challenge in designing an automotive LED lamp is in satisfying government requirements for light output while also being cost effective. Ano... » read more

Reducing Hardware Security Risk
By Jason Oberg - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

In today’s world, hackers, computer viruses and cyber-terrorists are making headlines almost daily. Security has become a priority in all aspects of life, and most importantly, of our businesses. Recently hackers have been targeting the heart of our most complex systems, the Application Specific ICs (ASICs) and Systems on Chips (SoCs) that run them. The risk associated with these devices i... » read more
