Widely-adopted by the automotive IC industry, the Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS (BCD) technology for intelligent power applications invented by STMicroelectronics has benefited automotive IC designers and their consumers for over a decade. The BCD technology (Figure 1) has required innovative techniques to ensure that automotive ICs can stand up to the harsh environments and high reliability requirements... » read more

New Drivers For Test
By Brian Bailey - 28 Jul, 2016 - Comments: 0

Mention Design for Test (DFT) and scan chains come to mind, but there is much more to it than that—and the rules of the game are changing. New application areas such as automotive may breathe new life into built-in self-test (BIST) solutions, which could also be used for manufacturing test. So could DFT as we know it be a thing of the past? Or will it continue to have a role to play? Te... » read more

Addressing The Challenges Of Automotive Motor Control
By Ahmed Eisawy - 14 Jul, 2016 - Comments: 0

By Andrew Talan and Ahmed Eisawy As you leave work today and enter the parking lot, you hit the unlock button on your car remote. Using the power lift to open the hatch back, you put your laptop bag in the back of the car. While seated in the car, you adjust your seat position and bump your driver-side mirror into a new position and then head for home. You probably don’t think much about y... » read more

Qualified Code Generation Greatly Reduces Cost Of Safety-Critical Automotive Software
By Ansys - 13 Jul, 2016 - Comments: 0

As automobile electronics become more prevalent and sophisticated, ensuring the reliability of the embedded software code within those systems becomes critical to the safety of passengers and pedestrians. The development of an ISO 26262 qualified code generator helps automotive OEMs and suppliers drastically reduce development costs while ensuring that their embedded software applications will ... » read more

Sharing Information About Corner Cases
By Ed Sperling - 07 Jul, 2016 - Comments: 0

The definition of what is good enough when it comes to new technology is still evolving. In safety-critical applications, as well as a number of other areas such as drones or domestic robots, people will need to watch over all machines very closely rather than the other way around. While these machines may serve a useful purpose, they also need to be monitored to ensure they don't go too far as... » read more

Automotive Digitalization And The Customer Relationship
By Andrew Macleod - 07 Jul, 2016 - Comments: 0

A current big idea that’s kicking around, one that motivates much of what we’re trying to do with Mentor Automotive tools and services, is that digitalization represents the third relatively recent disruption of the auto industry. Yes, the effects of the first two, the opening of China and the electrification of the powertrain, are still being felt. But the effects of the third will almost... » read more
