Integrating ADAS/IVI SoCs Using Automotive IP
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry continues to evolve the centralized electrical/electronic (EE) architecture, impacting automakers, and Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, as they implement various applications over the next 10 years. The new architecture is structured around a centralized compute module which executes multiple applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)/highly automated dri... » read more

Maximizing Energy Efficiency For Automotive Chips
By William Ruby - 07 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Silicon chips are central to today’s sophisticated advanced driver assistance systems, smart safety features, and immersive infotainment systems. Industry sources estimate that now there are over 1,000 integrated circuits (ICs), or chips, in an average ICE car, and twice as many in an average EV. Such a large amount of electronics translates into kilowatts of power being consumed – equiva... » read more

The Proliferation Of Bluetooth In V2X Automotive Applications
By Charles Dittmer - 01 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

V2X, or “Vehicle to Everything,” applies to wireless communication between a vehicle and a specific entity or network. Although vehicle-to-vehicle communication projects can be traced back to the 1970s, more recently the IEEE WLAN V2X specifications released in 2010 and the 3GPP V2X specification published in 2016 have defined specific wireless standards for V2X communications. Most of the ... » read more

Key Inflection Points Influencing Bluetooth Low Energy Sourcing Decisions
By Charles Dittmer - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Bluetooth 5.4, the latest specification from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), includes a number of enhancements that will open additional markets and use cases. This is one of several inflection points in the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) market that we will discuss in this blog. One thing I have learned over the course of my career in delivering multiple wireless products is that th... » read more

Why Are Automotive SoC Designers Turning To PCI Express 6.0?
By Richard Solomon - 07 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Just over two decades ago, the introduction of PCI Express 1.0 marked the industry’s transition from then-ubiquitous parallel to serial interfaces. Back in 2002, the potential of “PCIe” in automotive applications was unforeseen – given the then-current state of in-vehicle computation and PCIe’s primary focus on desktop and data center use. Today, however, with the advent of connected ... » read more

Many new advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) applications, such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance, are built using the latest AI algorit... » read more

Why The SOAFEE Project Is Integral For The Design Of Connected Vehicles
By Stewart Wiliams - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

The Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE) project, of which Synopsys is a voting member, is defined by automakers, semiconductor suppliers, open-source and independent software vendors, and cloud technology leaders. The effort builds on technologies that define standard boot and security requirements for the Arm architecture, while adding a cloud-native development and deployme... » read more

Virtualization: A Must-Have For Embedded AI In Automotive SoCs
By Gordon Cooper - 03 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Virtualization, the process of abstracting physical hardware by creating multiple virtual machines (VMs) with independent operating systems and tasks, has been in computing since the 1960s. Now, with the need to optimize the utilization of large AI and DSP blocks in automotive SoCs, along with the need for increased functional safety in autonomous driving, virtualization is coming to power- an... » read more
