Enabling Integrated ADAS Domain Controllers With Automotive IP
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 17 Jul, 2018 - Comments: 0

Traditionally, the electronic control units (ECUs) for individual Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) applications have been placed throughout the car. The latest automotive architecture will integrate ECUs for multiple ADAS applications into centralized domains to combine multiple ADAS functions. The new class of integrated domain controller ECUs utilize data transferred from the car’s ... » read more

Upcoming System Modeling Challenges
By Stephan Gerth - 14 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

In the past, during the concept phase of a design, system models have typically lacked information regarding reliability. If at all, reliability was addressed late in the design phase shortly before tape out. As the functional safety aspect, and with it an extended device lifetime, gains more and more attention for certain applications, things have to change in the design processes. To ensure a... » read more
