ISO 26262:2018, 2nd Edition: What Changes?
By Kurt Shuler - 07 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

If you’re involved somehow in design for automotive electronics, you probably have more than a cursory understanding of the ISO 26262 standard. What your organization is working from is most likely the 2011 definition. The most recent update is formally known as ISO 26262:2018, less formally as ISO 26262 2nd Edition. Figure 1. Overview of the ISO 26262:2018 series of standards (Source IS... » read more

VCSEL Technology Takes Off
By Kevin Fogarty and Ed Sperling - 07 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 1

By Kevin Fogarty and Ed Sperling Vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) technology, a proven but mostly niche technology until recently, is suddenly a very hot commodity thanks to the introduction of facial recognition in phones and other mobile devices. VCELS primarily have been used as a low-cost way of tracking movement and transfering data in computer mice, laser printers and ... » read more

Use Inference Benchmarks Similar To Your Application
By Geoff Tate - 07 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

If an Inference IP supplier or Inference Accelerator Chip supplier offers a benchmark, it is probably ResNet-50. As a result, it might seem logical to use ResNet-50 to compare inference offerings. If you plan to use ResNet-50 it would be; but if your target application model is significantly different from Resnet-50 it could lead you to pick an inference offering that is not best for you. ... » read more

Achieving Flexible Processing Requirements For IoT End-Node Devices
By Graham Wilson - 07 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

The term Internet of Things (IoT), which used to be used broadly to describe almost all connected devices, can now be seen to fall into two segments: Critical IoT and Massive IoT. Critical IoT refers to mission-critical applications such as automotive communication, industrial machines, and medical procedures where low latency is crucial, while Massive IoT is related to the billions of connecte... » read more

Designing Networking Chips
By Ed Sperling - 07 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

Susheel Tadikonda, vice president of networking and storage at Synopsys, talks about what’s changed in the way networking chips are being designed to deal with a massive increase in data. One of those shifts involves software-defined networking, where the greatest complexity resides in the software. That also has a big impact on the entire design flow, from pre-silicon to post-silicon. htt... » read more

Issues In Designing 5G Beamforming Antennas
By Kevin Fogarty - 07 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 3

As 5G networking inches closer to reality, one of the more stubborn problems also will be one of the smallest. Several issues have yet to be cracked with beamforming and massive MIMO antennas, which will make millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum—a key ingredient in 5G networks—work on multiple devices and base-station locations. Millimeter wave is problematic yet promising. Between bands 30... » read more

Benchmarks For The Edge

Geoff Tate, CEO of Flex Logix, talks about benchmarking in edge devices, particularly for convolutional neural networks. https://youtu.be/-beVEpKAM4M » read more

Automotive IC Design Demands Next-Generation High-Sigma Verification
By Jeff Dyck - 07 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

By Jeff Dyck High-sigma analysis is required for verifying replicated components, like memory blocks and standard cells, and for demonstrating mission-critical reliability for automotive and medical applications. It is not feasible to verify to high-sigma using brute-force Monte Carlo, as this requires 10s of millions of simulations to reach 5-sigma and billions in order to reach 6-sigma. S... » read more

The Race To Multi-Domain SoCs
By Ed Sperling - 07 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

K. Charles Janac, president and CEO of Arteris IP, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss the impact of automotive and AI on chip design. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: What do you see as the biggest changes over the next 12 to 24 months? Janac: There are segments of the semiconductor market that are shrinking, such as DTV and simple IoT. Others are going ... » read more

Autonomous Drive Requires Smart Sensor Systems
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 06 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

While exotic technology for autonomous drive cars draw wonder all around the world, individual smart sensor systems with “simple” jobs to do are equally important. LiDAR sensors with specialized AI chips for object identification are fascinating. But “simple” smart sensor systems, like passenger airbag deployment systems, are also key to autonomous drive vehicles. A typical trait of a s... » read more
