Changes In Memory Design
By Ed Sperling - 29 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

An explosion of data in automotive, cloud, and AI are altering the fundamentals of memory design. One size no longer fits all, as memory is used for a broader set of applications, from automotive and cloud to consumer devices. Anand Theruvengadam, director of product management at Synopsys, talks about the impact of big data applications on density, memory stacking, and growing concerns about r... » read more

How ADAS and EVs Drive Semiconductor-To-Automotive Supply Chain Innovation
By Joey Tun - 27 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

As EV and ADAS become the focus for the automotive industry, the supply chain is going through a transformation. The industry is keenly reminded of recent semiconductor shortages as well as the growing semiconductor content requirements per vehicle.  This prompts the entire supply chain including traditional semiconductor suppliers, Tier-1s, and automotive OEMs to rethink their strategies not ... » read more

Verification And Test Of Safety And Security
By Brian Bailey - 22 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Functional verification can cost as much as design, but new capabilities are piling onto an already stressed verification methodology, leaving solutions fragmented and incomplete. In a perfect world, a semiconductor device would be verified to operate according to its complete specification, and continue to operate correctly over the course of its useful life. The reality, however, is this i... » read more

Why Auto Ecosystem Relationships Are Changing
By Ann Mutschler - 19 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is in the midst of rapid change on many fronts. OEMs are exploring new functions and features to add to their vehicles, including chiplets, electrification, autonomous features, as well as new vehicle architectures that will determine how vehicles are going to be designed from the foundation up. But all of this is dependent on the relationships between all of the ecosyst... » read more

Power/Performance Costs Of Securing Systems
By Brian Bailey - 08 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

For much of the chip industry, concerns about security are relatively new, but the requirement for protecting semiconductor devices is becoming pervasive. Unfortunately for many industries, that lesson has been learned the hard way. Security breaches have led to the loss of sensitive data, ransomware attacks that lock up data, theft of intellectual property or financial resources, and loss o... » read more

4 Ways To Design More Reliable Automotive Electronics
By David Dang - 08 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

From engine management systems (fuel injection rate, emissions control, cooling systems) and autonomous controls (lane, speed, park assist, adaptive cruise control) to infotainment systems and comfort systems (climate control, electronic seat adjustment, automatic wipers, etc.), the modern-day gas-powered and electric vehicles have more electronic devices than ever. Indeed, the microprocessors ... » read more

Ramping Up Power Electronics For EVs
By Anne Meixner - 06 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

The rapid acceleration of the power devices used in electric vehicles (EVs) is challenging chipmakers to adequately screen the ICs that power these vehicles.[1] While progress toward autonomous driving is grabbing the public’s attention, the electrification of transportation systems is progressing quietly. For the automotive industry, this shift involves a mix of electronic components. Amo... » read more

Minimizing Cybersecurity Risks With ISO/SAE 21434
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

To mitigate the cybersecurity risk, industry stakeholders have developed the new ISO/SAE 21434 Road Vehicles—Cybersecurity Engineering standard. Industry leaders are quickly adopting ISO/SAE 21434 as the leading approach for cybersecurity. Suppliers such as Renesas announced1 their commitment to ISO/SAE 21434 in October 2021. Recently, NXP2 and Texas Instruments3 both certified their Au... » read more

How Many Senses Do You Need To Drive A Car?
By Frank Schirrmeister - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

The recent AutoSens conference in Detroit left me questioning whether I should turn in my driver's license. The answer the attending OEMs gave to all the discussions about the advantages of RGB cameras, ultrasound, radar, lidar, and thermal sensors was a unanimous "We probably need all of them in some form of combination" to make autonomy a reality in automotive. Together, these sensors are muc... » read more

What Is Zonal Architecture? And Why Is it Upending the Automotive Supply Chain?
By Paul McLellan - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Over the last few years, the basic architecture of how a vehicle is put together has changed a lot. This has also resulted in a change in how the automotive supply chain is put together, too. The traditional ECU-based architecture and the automobile supply chain Historically, vehicles have been put together like the picture on the left in the above diagram. Vehicles could have as many a... » read more
