Semiconductor Manufacturing For Extreme Quality
By Ben Tsai - 10 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

Across the full range of semiconductor device types and design nodes, there is a drive to produce chips with significantly higher quality. Automotive, IoT and other industrial applications require chips that achieve extremely high reliability over a long period of time while operating under harsh environments. Additionally, leading-edge semiconductor ICs with ≤5nm design nodes, nanosheet and ... » read more

Squeezing Out More Test Compression
By Jeff Mayer - 10 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

The trend in semiconductors leads to more IC test data volume, longer test times, and higher test costs. Embedded deterministic test (EDT) has continued to deliver more compression, which has been quite effective at containing test costs. For many designs, standard test compressions is enough, but ICs for use in automotive and medical devices require a higher manufacturing test quality, which t... » read more

Reducing Automotive Failure Rates With QPaaS
By Kiki (Yitzhak) Ohayan - 10 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

It’s become an industry cliché to dub modern cars “computers on wheels” – and with 90 percent of automotive innovation now focused on electronics and software, it’s a cliché that happens to be true, and it brings with it the complications that all electronics bring. The sheer number of electronics-driven features – advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), telematics, navigati... » read more

Challenges In IP Reuse
By Ed Sperling - 09 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

Jeff Markham, software architect at ClioSoft, explains why IP reuse is so important in advanced process node SoC chip designs, what companies need to keep track of when working with third-party IP, and how it needs to be characterized. » read more

CXL Vs. CCIX

Kurt Shuler, vice president of marketing at ArterisIP, explains how these two standards differ, which one works best where, and what each was designed for. » read more

Preparing For The Great Auto War
By Ed Sperling - 05 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 6

The internal combustion engine's days are numbered, and what comes next is going to cause one of the biggest upheavals in the history of business. Before semiconductors and electronics, it was the auto industry that defined economies of scale. In fact, the auto industry became the model on which the entire electronics industry was built. It always was assumed that the mainframe, minicomputer... » read more

Betting On Hydrogen-Powered Cars
By Ann Steffora Mutschler - 05 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 6

The automotive industry is taking another look at hydrogen fuel cells, but how they ultimately fare depends on a combination of consumer demand, automaker investment and infrastructure build-out. Hydrogen fuel cell technology has been steadily advancing over the past six decades since the first practical fuel cell system was demonstrated by Cambridge engineering professor Francis Bacon. The ... » read more

Taking Self-Driving Safety Standards Beyond ISO 26262
By Kurt Shuler - 05 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

I participated in a couple of sessions at Arm TechCon this year, the first on how safety is evolving for platform-based architectures with a mix of safety-aware IP and the second on lessons learned in safety and particularly how the industry and standards are adapting to the larger challenges in self-driving, which obviously extend beyond the pure functional safety intent of ISO 26262. Here I w... » read more

Functional Safety Verification For AV SoC Designs Accelerated With Advanced Tools
By Jacob Wiltgen - 05 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) will be the culmination of dozens of highly complex systems, incorporating state-of-the-art technologies in electronics hardware, sensors, software, and more. Conceiving and designing these systems is certain to be one of the greatest challenges for today’s engineers. The only greater challenge will be convincing a wary public that these automated systems are safer d... » read more

Ensuring Functional Safety For Self-Driving Cars
By Marc Serughetti - 05 Dec, 2019 - Comments: 0

There may be no hotter topic in electronics than chips for autonomous vehicles. Self-driving cars have captured the public imagination and become a major area of investment. Both established automotive manufacturers and well-funded startups are producing vehicles with the highly complex chips needed to negotiate roads, deal with unpredictable humans and communicate with the cloud for machine le... » read more
