Physics-Based Radar Modeling: Driving Toward Increased Safety
By Ansys - 07 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Autonomous driving is revolutionizing the global automotive industry. With every new model, cars are smarter and more capable of independently responding to external signals like lane markings, road signs, other cars and pedestrians. However, formulating a correct response via artificial intelligence depends on the flawless performance of the car’s perception systems, including radar-ba... » read more

High Voltage Testing Races Ahead
By Karen Heyman - 06 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 1

Voltage requirements are increasing, especially for the EV market. Even devices that might be considered relatively low voltage, such as display drivers, are now pushing past established baselines. While working with high voltages is nothing new — many engineers can recall yellow caution tape in their workplaces — the sheer number and variety of new requirements have made testing at high... » read more

Embracing the Challenges Of Cybersecurity In Automotive Applications
By Gulam Ashrafi - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 1

The growth of electronics in cars is exposing a new vector for cyberattacks on car owners and automotive companies’ reputations. The potential human cost of an attack on the car’s electronics is driving urgency in the adoption of cybersecurity-aware practices, from OEMs and Tier 1s to every component supplier in the automotive industry. The standard “ISO/SAE 21434:2021 Road vehicles — C... » read more

Software Self-Test As A Safety Mechanism For Processing Units
By Synopsys - 30 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

The growing dependency of modern automobiles on electronic functions increases the need for a variety of integrated circuits (ICs) for safety-critical applications. Requirements coming from different in-car subsystems drives the need for chip manufacturers to create a wide range of specialized solutions. This, in turn, raises the bar for automotive IP suppliers and pushes them to offer configur... » read more

How To Make The Charging Infrastructure For Electric Vehicles Smart
By Infineon - 30 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

Renewable energies and the increasing emergence of electric vehicles are putting a strain on the electricity grid. The former are not constantly available, and the latter require additional energy while charging. This leads to the need for introducing a new, smart charging infrastructure to avoid instabilities at the grid level. This white paper explains what is involved in making a charging in... » read more

The Rise Of Copper Wires In Automotive ICs
By Prasad Dhond - 17 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

In 2011, the price of Gold (Au) surged to $1900/oz which had a drastic impact on Wirebonded ICs using Au wires. IC suppliers scrambled to convert from Au to copper (Cu) wire on as many products as they could. However, automotive ICs were reluctant to make the jump due to lack of reliability data and performance track-record. However, today’s automotive ICs are big users of Cu wires driven by ... » read more

Managing IP In Heterogeneous Designs
By Ed Sperling - 14 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

Increasing complexity and heterogeneity is creating huge challenges for tracking different versions of IP over the lifetime of chips. Pedro Pires, applications engineer at ClioSoft, talks about the implications of IP reuse in a complex, multi-IP context, including how different standards and database formats can affect IP tracking and why an interoperability layer is essential to tracking IP an... » read more

Improving Reliability In Automobiles
By John Koon - 14 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

Carmakers are turning to predictive and preventive maintenance to improve the safety and reliability of increasingly electrified vehicles, setting the stage for more internal and external sensors, and more intelligence to interpret and react to the data generated by those sensors. The number of chips inside of vehicles has been steadily rising, regardless of whether they are powered by elect... » read more

Weird Incidents Reveal L5 Challenges
By Marie C. Baca - 09 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

A series of surprising, counterintuitive, and sometimes bizarre incidents reveal the challenges of achieving full Level 5 autonomy in self-driving vehicles, which are an increasingly common site in major cities. While it’s easy to dismiss such anecdotes as humorous glitches compared with the sobering accounts of autonomous tech-related injuries and fatalities, industry executives say these oc... » read more
