Or you can watch multi-million dollar race cars hurtle around a track at speeds of upwards of 220 miles per hour. Welcome to Formula 1, the international auto racing sport with a cumulative TV audience of 1.55 billion people. The budgets are ... » read more

Responding To The Rapid Advancement Of Cockpit Domain Controllers
By Siemens EDA - 06 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Every aspect of a modern vehicle’s performance is controlled by a complex network of hardware and software. Nowhere is this more apparent than the interface between the driver and the machine, in what is known as the cockpit domain. In order to succeed in this domain of fast-paced advancement, today’s OEM needs to understand the trends in this arena, the current challenges and solutions, an... » read more

Embedded World 2022: Structural Changes In Ecosystems
By Frank Schirrmeister - 23 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

As my train approaches Nuremberg for the Embedded World conference—which this year is in June versus its usual timing in February—I am reviewing my past related blogs back to 2012. My complaints about the cold weather have been a common thread in past blogs, but with a weather forecast of 28°C/80°F, I will probably ask for cooler weather at the end of the day. Past key themes included tec... » read more

Building The Highway To Automotive Innovation
By Jamie Broome - 23 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry has changed and nowhere is this more visible than in the automotive industry. Global chip shortages have highlighted how dependent we are on silicon to keep cars on the roads. These shortages are also keeping wait times for new vehicles at an all-time high. Add to this an influx of non-traditional players into the market and it's easy to see why the automotive sect... » read more

Audio, Visual Advances Intensify IC Design Tradeoffs
By Ann Mutschler - 13 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

A spike in the number of audio and visual sensors is greatly increasing design complexity in chips and systems, forcing engineers to make tradeoffs that can affect performance, power, and cost. Collectively, these sensors generate so much data that designers must consider where to process different data, how to prioritize it, and how to optimize it for specific applications. The tradeoffs in... » read more

The Race To Zero Defects In Auto ICs
By Anne Meixner - 07 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Assembly houses are fine-tuning their methodologies and processes for automotive ICs, optimizing everything from inspection and metrology to data management in order to prevent escapes and reduce the number of costly returns. Today, assembly defects account for between 12% and 15% of semiconductor customer returns in the automotive chip market. As component counts in vehicles climb from the ... » read more

Chip Substitutions Raising Security Concerns
By Ed Sperling - 02 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Substituting chips is becoming more common in the electronics industry as shortages drag on, allowing systems vendors to continue selling everything from cars to manufacturing equipment and printer cartridges without waiting for a commoditized part. But substitutions aren't always an even swap, and they increase security risks in ways that may take years to show up or fully understand. So fa... » read more

Automotive Bandwidth Issues Grow As Data Skyrockets
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Bandwidth requirements for future vehicles are set to explode as the amount of data moving within vehicles, between vehicles, and between vehicles and infrastructure, continues to grow rapidly. That data will be necessary for a variety of functions, some of which are here today and many of which are still in development. On the safety side, that includes everything from early warning systems... » read more

Reducing Fuel Consumption By Optimizing Engine Parts With CFD
By Anne-Marie Schelkens - 02 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

How to reduce the carbon footprint of the automotive industry? Mobility comes with huge CO2 emissions and drastically reducing them is a top priority of vehicle designers today. It is no surprise that simulation can play a major part in finding solutions for this important challenge. Simulation can provide insight, reduce time-to-market, improve reliability, and reduce engineering cost for ne... » read more

Verification And Validation Of Automotive Safety Element Out Of Context
By Synopsys - 01 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

With the increased use of electronics and software in the automotive systems, there are strict requirements for complex functions to perform safely and avoid causing damages to life and property in case of a failure. With the technology getting more complex, there are increasing risks from systematic failures and random hardware failures that need to be considered within the scope of functional... » read more
