Grappling With Auto Security
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Jul, 2016 - Comments: 1

It’s a changed world under the hood of automobiles today, as vehicles become increasingly connected to infrastructure and each other. But that connectedness also is creating new security risks. Growing complexity is one piece of the problem. There are upwards of 80 electronic control units (ECUs) and more than 100 million lines of code in an average vehicle. On top of that, there are m... » read more

Uncertainty Rocks Chip Market
By Ed Sperling - 30 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 1

The semiconductor industry is undergoing sweeping changes in every direction, making it far more difficult to figure out which path to take next, when to take it, and how to get there. The next few years will redefine which semiconductor companies emerge as leaders, which ones get pushed down or out or absorbed into other companies, and which markets will be the most lucrative. And that coul... » read more

Electrical-Mechanical Tool Flow Revisited
By Ann Mutschler - 30 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

For many years, the design tool industry has entertained the idea of combining both electrical and mechanical design into a single user experience, with a single database as a foundation. Major tool vendors, at least on the electrical side, have taken the matter seriously and confirm that activities towards a single flow have been considered, particularly as the [getkc id="7" kc_name="EDA"] ... » read more

ISO 26262-Certified Solution For Testing of Safety-Critical Automotive ICs
By Synopsys - 29 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

Anti-lock braking systems, air bags, traction control, and electronic stability control are just a few examples of typical safety systems in current production cars. Next-generation safety systems, known as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, are setting up the path for semi- and fully autonomous cars of the near future. Some ADAS technology uses a combination of cameras and radar to s... » read more
