Securing Automotive Ethernet Connections With MACsec
By Maxim Demchenko - 05 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Zonal architecture in automotive design has become common in recent years in response to the increasing complexity of in-vehicle electrical systems. Automotive Ethernet is used to connect sensors and actuators to zonal gateways in ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) enabled vehicles. With multi-gigabit links, it further connects zonal gateways to the central compute units that handle ADAS... » read more

How Much AI Is Really Needed?
By John Koon - 05 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Tensor Core GPUs have created a generative AI model gold rush. Whether it’s helping students with math homework, planning a vacation, or learning to prepare a six-course meal, generative AI is ready with answers. But that's only one aspect of AI, and not every application requires it. AI — now an all-inclusive term, referring to the process of using algorithms to learn, predict, and make... » read more

Higher Automotive MCU Performance With Interface IP
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 05 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 1

By Ron DiGuiseppe and Hezi Saar AI is making waves across many industries, and automotive is no exception. Today’s vehicles are smarter and more connected than ever, and AI is at the heart of it all. Many new advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) applications, such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance, are built using the latest AI algorit... » read more

Securing Automotive Ethernet With MACsec Silicon IP
By Rambus - 04 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

In today’s cars, the Ethernet standard is the go-to solution for connecting zonal gateways to the central compute units that handle ADAS functionality. However, in-vehicle networks are vulnerable to a number of security threats, including eavesdropping, denial-of-service attacks, man-in-the middle attacks, and unauthorized access. This white paper explores how MACsec provides an effective sol... » read more

Industry Pressure Grows For Simulating Systems Of Systems
By Brian Bailey - 28 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Most complex systems are designed in a top-down manner, but as the amount of electronic content in those systems increases, so does the pressure on the chip industry to provide high-level models and simulation capabilities. Those models either do not exist today, or they exist in isolation. No matter how capable a model or simulator, there never will be one that can do it all. In some cases,... » read more

New Developments Set To Accelerate MIPI CSI-2 Adoption In Automotive
By Joseph Rodriguez - 14 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

As Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) become more sophisticated, cars are equipped with an increasing number of cameras and sensors. To support features like automated parking, adaptive cruise control, and enhanced night vision, sensors source multiple wavelengths and deploy cameras with higher quality data formats, higher frame and refresh rates. ADAS systems are all powered by data sou... » read more

Jumping Over Thermal Cycles Accelerates Thermomechanical Fatigue Simulations
By Tim Palucka - 14 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Although you are probably not aware of them, dozens of electronic control units (ECUs) — printed circuit boards (PCBs) in metal or plastic housings — exist in your car to control and monitor the operation and safety of your vehicle’s many control systems. These units must work for the lifetime of your car, during which time they are subjected to many heating and cooling cycles. The most o... » read more

Customizing IC Test To Improve Yield And Reliability
By Ed Sperling - 12 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Testing the performance and power of semiconductors as they come off the production line is beginning to shift left in the fab, reversing a long-standing trend of assessing chips just prior to shipping. While this may sound straightforward, it's a difficult challenge which, if successful, will have broad implications for the entire design-through-manufacturing flow. Manufacturers typically g... » read more

Automotive Safety Requires PVT Monitoring IP Within Semiconductor ICs
By Rohan Bhatnagar - 12 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

The modern automobile, especially with the move toward more electrification, presents huge challenges to the designers of vehicular electronics. Gone are the days of mechanical issues and oil changes being primary concerns. Today’s automobile has a high number of semiconductor chips performing functions for self-driving autonomous systems, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), connectivi... » read more

Designing Vehicles Virtually
By John Koon - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

The shift toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs), electric vehicles (EVs), and ultimately autonomous vehicles (AVs) is proving the value and exposing the weaknesses in simulating individual components and complete vehicles. The ability to model this intensely complex maze of real-world interactions and possible scenarios is improving, and it's happening faster than comparable road-testing o... » read more
