It Takes A Village… To Develop And Verify SoCs
By Frank Schirrmeister - 25 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

In my last blog post from 2017, “Design Chains Will Drive The Top 5 EDA Trends In 2018,” I had pointed to the importance of ecosystems for electronics development in general. From an EDA perspective, it also takes a village to shepherd the actual chip development with its complex verification and software development tasks. And the types of partnerships often depend on the application domai... » read more

The Uncontrolled Rise Of Functional Safety Standards
By Sergio Marchese - 30 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 0

Over the past 30 years, advances in software and hardware have made it possible to create sophisticated systems controlling crucial aspects of complex equipment, from rolling and pitching in aircrafts, to steering and braking in cars. The processes and methods defined in functional safety standards are crucial to ensure that these systems behave as expected and safely, even when certain parts �... » read more

For SoC ISO 26262 Compliance, Should All EDA Tools Be TCL1?
By Mary Ann White - 02 Nov, 2017 - Comments: 2

ISO 26262, the automotive functional safety standard, requires the assessment of software tool confidence levels (TCLs) as either a TCL1, TCL2 or TCL3.  Part 8:2011, clause 11.4.5 of the ISO 26262 standard provides a methodology with guidance for software tool classification and qualification. It applies to software tools used for the development of safety-critical designs where it is essentia... » read more

Look Ma, No Hands! Functional Safety From The Driver’s Seat
By McKenzie Ross - 26 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Every so often, I undertake a project that reminds me why I love working in semiconductor marketing. Back in August, I hopped behind the wheel of a Tesla Model X to film a video for OneSpin about how formal verification can help designers to satisfy the ISO 26262 automotive safety standard. If you haven't yet seen the video, you can watch it here: http://bit.ly/2ycK5Yp The Model X itself was... » read more

Functional Safety Issues Rising
By Ed Sperling - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Developing semiconductors for safety-critical markets such as automotive, industrial and medical involves a growing list of extra steps that need to be taken pre- and post-manufacturing to ensure product integrity, reliability and security. This is causing several significant changes: • Designs are becoming much more complicated because they require such features as failover and redundan... » read more

Achieving ISO 26262 Certification With ASIL-Ready IP
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 1

According to an article by McKinsey, “analysts predict revenue growth for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to be up to 29 percent, giving the segment one of the highest growth rates in the automotive and related industries.” This opportunity has invigorated the automotive supply chain to increase their R&D investments for faster product innovations. The focus on innovation is e... » read more
