ADAS Further Extends 7nm Challenges
By Mondeep Thiara - 11 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

As we discussed previously on the LPHP blog, 7nm nodes hold great promise for reducing power, improving performance and increasing density for next-generation chips, but also present a set of engineering challenges. When you factor in the standards set for autonomous vehicles (AV) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) system-on-chips or SoCs, those challenges can more than double. Autom... » read more

ADAS Meets Anthropology
By Ed Sperling - 10 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

Melissa Cefkin, principal scientist and design anthropologist at the Nissan Research Center, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about how people will interact with autonomous vehicles and AI and why different disciplines are required to make this work. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Why did Nissan hire an anthropologist? Cefkin: Anthropologists have been ... » read more

Automakers Take On More Responsibility
By Kevin Fogarty - 08 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

Chip and EDA companies are scrambling to deal with stiff safety regulations and harsh environmental conditions for automotive chips, but automakers are making big changes of their own to ensure all those components work together as expected. The result is a significant shift of responsibilities of companies in the automotive supply chain. Carmakers traditionally have left verification, valid... » read more

Adding Safety Into Automotive Design
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

The ISO 26262 spec is a household term for anyone even remotely involved with the automotive industry today. Increasingly, though, it is being used interchangeably with safety-readiness across the entire supply chain. ISO 26262 compliance is a prerequisite for IP and chips used in an increasing number of automotive applications. It applies to systems, software, and to individual products. An... » read more

Data Converters For Automotive Applications
By Manuel Mota - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

Sensor applications requiring data converters range from temperature sensors identifying different engine status to radar/LIDAR enabling Automotive Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Other applications involving data converters include wireless transceivers for communicating with other vehicles or with a fixed network. The data converter IP (analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog) provides an i... » read more

Giving Cars A Bird’s-Eye View
By Farhad Fallahlalehzari - 27 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Will the world be a better place in which to live by having autonomous cars driving around us? Or would it be unsafe and scary? Maybe someone was asking such a question even when the first steam-powered automobile capable of human transportation was built in 1769 [1]! As a person who likes driving, I wouldn’t like to have a ‘fully’ autonomous car, but I would like to get some assistanc... » read more

Variation’s Long, Twisty Tail Worsens At 7/5nm
By Ed Sperling - 20 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 1

Variation is becoming a bigger challenge at each new node, but not just for obvious reasons and not always from the usual sources. Nevertheless, dealing with these issues takes additional time and resources, and it can affect the performance and reliability of those chips throughout their lifetimes. At a high level, variation historically was viewed as a mismatch between what design teams in... » read more

Auto Chip Design, Test Changes Ahead
By Kevin Fogarty - 19 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry’s unceasing demand for performance, coupled with larger and more complex processors, are driving broad changes in how electronics are designed, verified and tested. What's changing is that these systems, which include AI-oriented logic developed at the most advanced process nodes, need to last several times longer than traditional IT and consumer devices, and they n... » read more

Aging In Advanced Nodes
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss design reliability and circuit aging with João Geada, chief technologist for the semiconductor business unit at ANSYS; Hany Elhak, product management director, simulation and characterization in the custom IC and PCB group at Cadence; Christoph Sohrmann, advanced physical verification at Fraunhofer EAS; Magdy Abadir, vice president of marketing at ... » read more

IP For Centralized ADAS Domain Controllers
By Synopsys - 12 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

A centralized architecture is becoming more popular to integrate the ADAS applications into a centralized ADAS domain controller. A centralized architecture reduces cost, minimizes development of separate software applications and reduces system complexity. As automakers adopt multi-domain controllers with centralized ADAS processors, the required performance and functionality of the ADAS proce... » read more
