Straight Talk On Design Tools And ISO 26262
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 07 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

Understanding evolving functional safety goals is difficult. The good news is there are some first principles that apply for safety-minded engineers, including when it comes to evaluating software design tools used to create everything from the systems to the IC components, software and networks and that are so critical in automotive design today. The best advice is a twist on the “think glob... » read more

Connected Cars: From Chip To City
By Ann Mutschler - 01 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

As the automotive industry moves closer to autonomous vehicles, ecosystem players are focusing on the infrastructure pieces needed to make autonomous technology a reality for the first adopters, which are most likely commercial fleets. Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I or v2i) is a communications model that allows vehicles to share information with the components that support a country's hi... » read more

ADAS Further Extends 7nm Challenges
By Mondeep Thiara - 11 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

As we discussed previously on the LPHP blog, 7nm nodes hold great promise for reducing power, improving performance and increasing density for next-generation chips, but also present a set of engineering challenges. When you factor in the standards set for autonomous vehicles (AV) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) system-on-chips or SoCs, those challenges can more than double. Autom... » read more

Autonomous Vehicles: IC Design Flow Walk Through
By Andrew Macleod - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

Automotive applications, particularly those related to AI and computer vision, are a significant driver of the current semiconductor boom. Established companies are mostly thriving, it’s true, but perhaps more interesting are all the new faces in the game. As usual, Mentor CEO Wally Rhines is one of the great sense-makers of the all this activity. Wally has been making the rounds at variou... » read more

Adding Safety Into Automotive Design
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

The ISO 26262 spec is a household term for anyone even remotely involved with the automotive industry today. Increasingly, though, it is being used interchangeably with safety-readiness across the entire supply chain. ISO 26262 compliance is a prerequisite for IP and chips used in an increasing number of automotive applications. It applies to systems, software, and to individual products. An... » read more

Data Converters For Automotive Applications
By Manuel Mota - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

Sensor applications requiring data converters range from temperature sensors identifying different engine status to radar/LIDAR enabling Automotive Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Other applications involving data converters include wireless transceivers for communicating with other vehicles or with a fixed network. The data converter IP (analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog) provides an i... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 21 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Tools & IP Cadence unveiled deep neural-network accelerator (DNA) AI processor IP, Tensilica DNA 100, targeted at on-device neural network inference applications. The processor is scalable from 0.5 TMAC (Tera multiply-accumulate) to 12 TMACs, or 100s of TMACs with multiple processors stacked, and the company claims it delivers up to 4.7X better performance and up to 2.3X more performance p... » read more

Auto Chip Design, Test Changes Ahead
By Kevin Fogarty - 19 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry’s unceasing demand for performance, coupled with larger and more complex processors, are driving broad changes in how electronics are designed, verified and tested. What's changing is that these systems, which include AI-oriented logic developed at the most advanced process nodes, need to last several times longer than traditional IT and consumer devices, and they n... » read more

Chipping Away At Functional Safety Flaws In Automotive Electronics
By Ansys - 17 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Today’s automobiles are packed with electronics. From autonomous driving support and infotainment systems to mission-critical functions like braking, a car’s performance depends on the reliability of these electronics systems. While the semiconductors that lie at the heart of these systems have been not been a focus in the past, today their reliability is coming under closer scrutiny by bot... » read more
