Using Automotive IP For Easier Integration Of Safety Into SoCs

By Shivakumar Chonnad - 09 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

By Shivakumar Chonnad and Vladimir Litovtchenko Today’s SoCs for automotive safety-related systems integrate numerous IP blocks. At the system level, the Hardware Software Interface (HSI) between these IP blocks needs to be verified in simulation and validated in prototype. However, the scaling of the scope and effort to verify or validate is not linear based on the growing complexity of S... » read more

Ensuring Functional Safety For Self-Driving Cars

By Shivakumar Chonnad, Vladimir Litovtchenko, and Rohit Bhardwaj Developing functional safety systems, including all the components such as the system-on-chip (SoC) and IP, hinges on the ability to meet the stringent automotive functional safety requirements such as definition, implementation, verification, and validation. Depending on the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL), the functi... » read more

New Vision Technologies For Real-World Applications

By Gordon Cooper - 03 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 0

Computer vision – the ability of a machine to ‘infer’ or extract useful information from a two-dimensional image or an uncompressed video stream of images – has the ability to change our lives. It can enable self-driving cars, empower robots or drones to see their way to delivering packages to your doorstep, and can turn your face into a payment method (Figure 1). To achieve these advan... » read more

Advantages Of LPDDR5: A New Clocking Scheme

By Brett Murdock - 05 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 5

Earlier this year, JEDEC released the new standard, JESD209–5, Low Power Double Data Rate 5 (LPDDR5). Those that contributed to the development of the standard come from a diverse technology background and represent both manufacturers and consumers of SDRAM memories. Now we have a new memory standard to help enable the future that requires more compute power, higher reliability, and lower pow... » read more

5G Driving New Automotive Applications

By Ron DiGiuseppe - 10 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

5G’s increased throughput, reliability, availability, and lower latency will enable new safety-sensitive applications which are holistically known as V2X or Vehicle-to-Everything. 5G Cellular V2X (C-V2X) provides a common wireless network to support convergence of multiple applications for urban, suburban, and highway driving conditions. 5G C-V2X will enable multiple new automotive applicatio... » read more

Artificial Intelligence: Let Us Get The Math Right First!

By Ravindra Aneja - 06 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence is a hot topic these days and therefore doesn’t require a repeat of the current and future potential uses for AI. For most people, it means technology advancements on the software side. But if you ask people who are very close to this technology domain, building your own optimized hardware chips is where a significant part of the competitive edge lies. A few days ba... » read more

Dude, Where’s My Autonomous Car?

By Melissa Kirschner - 02 May, 2019 - Comments: 1

Researchers forecast that by 2025 we’ll see approximately 8 million autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles on the road. Before merging onto roadways, autonomous cars will first have to progress through 6 levels of driver-assistance technology advancements. What exactly are these levels? And where are we now? The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) defines 6 levels of driving automatio... » read more
