Build In Functional Safety Early
By Robert Vamosi - 06 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

In the automotive world, recalls for electronics affect about five percent of the vehicles on the road. That means 5 out of every 100 vehicles today have a problem with their electronics. If we want to see more autonomous driving vehicles, that number must be improved. There needs be more robustness in the development process. Making cars safer today is Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADA... » read more

How To Efficiently Achieve ASIL-D Compliance Using NoC Technology
By Arteris - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Increasing layers of electronics and software are being added to vehicles, from infotainment to engine, brakes, and various sensors for ADAS and autonomous driving. To address the increasing use of electronics in automobiles, the ISO 26262 Functional Safety for Road Vehicles standard was developed. This standard is intended to ensure that the electronics are designed to specified levels in o... » read more

‘Fuzzing’ A Virtual Prototype ECU To Improve Security
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Staying ahead in the arms race against hackers means constantly looking for novel ways to find and correct security flaws, including (and perhaps especially) when it comes to relatively low-level hardware. In this brief white paper we describe one such way — an automated fuzzing test of a virtual ECU to find and correct vulnerabilities during the upstream development process. To read more,... » read more

Demystifying EDA Support For ISO 26262 Tool Qualification
By Sergio Marchese - 23 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

My new, mid-size car is equipped with many advanced driver-assistance systems. To be honest, it’s taking me time to get used to some of them, as, for example, lane-centering assist that seamlessly takes control of my steering wheel. However, I cannot wait to get my hands off a fully autonomous vehicle and be able to take a nap while 7nm chips run machine learning and other artificial intellig... » read more

Automotive Electronics: Driving The Semiconductor Market
By Jim Feldhan - 16 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Automotive electronics is the fastest growing end application in the semiconductor market, but what systems will see the highest penetration rates? Currently, self-driving cars grab much of the media attention, and for good reason. Semico estimates that today’s self-driving car has $21,525 of additional electronics. However, recent tests of ADAS vehicles produced less than stellar results. II... » read more

Semiconductors In Automotive
By Kris Kendall - 16 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 1

It was more than 130 years ago in 1885 when Gottlieb Daimler invented the first prototype for the modern gas engine, and in 1886 Karl Benz patented his three-wheel Benz Motor Car, Model No. 1. Yet even these visionaries might have been surprised by the sophisticated technology running our cars today – and they couldn’t even have imagined the vast range of semiconductor components involved. ... » read more

Where FD-SOI Works Best (Part 2)
By Ed Sperling - 15 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss changes in the FD-SOI world and what's behind them, with James Lamb, deputy CTO for advanced semiconductor manufacturing and corporate technical fellow at Brewer Science; Giorgio Cesana, director of technical marketing at STMicroelectronics; Olivier Vatel, senior vice president and CTO at Screen Semiconductor Solutions; and Carlos Mazure, CTO at Soi... » read more

More Processing Everywhere
By Ed Sperling - 09 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Simon Segars, CEO of Arm Holdings, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss security, power, the IoT, a big push at the edge, and the rise of 5G and China. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Are we making any progress in security? And even if Arm makes progress, does it matter, given there are so many things connected together? Segars: It feels like we’re maki... » read more

$8.5B For Auto, IoT, Security Startups
By Jeff Dorsch - 08 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Investors infused $4.9 billion into automotive-related startups, nearly $2.5 billion into IoT startups and almost $1.2 billion into cybersecurity startups so far in 2018, according to Semiconductor Engineering’s estimates of private funding in the first six months of 2018. Popular investments included companies using artificial intelligence, big data analytics, blockchain, machine learning... » read more

Who’s Paying For Auto Chip Test?
By Ed Sperling - 06 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Testing of automotive chips is becoming more difficult and time-consuming, and the problem is only going to get worse. There is more to this than simply developing new test equipment or devising a better design for test flow. There are multiple issues at play here, and some of them are at odds with the others. First, no one has experience using advanced-node chips in extreme environments.... » read more
