Achieving ISO 26262 Software Tool Confidence For Improved Automotive Functional Safety

By Synopsys - 24 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Achieving ISO 26262 Software Tool Confidence for Improved Automotive Functional Safety The rapid adoption of advanced electronic systems in automobiles has prompted the automotive industry to develop the ISO 26262 functional safety standard to address the potential risks associated with failures in these systems. ISO 26262 is derived from the more general IEC 61508 standard and defines requirem... » read more

A Simple Way To Improve Automotive In-System Test

By Jeff Mayer - 11 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

The remarkable growth in automotive IC design has prompted a focus on ISO26262 functional safety compliance, which includes both high-quality manufacturing test and a minimum stuck-at test coverage of 90% for in-system test. Designers must also control IC test data volumes, test application times, and test costs. A new test point technology that improves in-system test coverage and reduces patt... » read more

Reshaping Automotive Design

By Ann Mutschler - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

The entire automotive ecosystem is being reshaped by vehicle electrification, assisted and autonomous driving, and the connectivity needed to make it all work. So far, it's not clear just how smoothly this will all come together. In this redefined world, electronics and software will provide differentiation rather than mechanical engineering and possibly even brand name, creating change on a... » read more

Self-Driving Cars At CES: The Future Of Transportation Is Here

By Alok Sanghavi - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

CES 2018 attendees will get a new kind of tech demo in just a few weeks. When they hail Lyft to take them from the Las Vegas Convention Center across town, it will be a fully automated point-to-point vehicle getting them there. While we marvel now, today’s novelty will be tomorrow’s norm, though questions about the safety of autonomous driving persist. For the CES demo, a backup pilot wi... » read more

Measuring ISO 26262 Metrics Of Analog Circuitry In ICs

By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

The goals for automotive electronics are zero defective parts per million (0 DPPM), and safe operation during the expected lifetime of the vehicle. The ISO 26262 standard provides procedures and metrics required before delivery to ensure systems can be expected to operate without unreasonable risk. ISO 26262 specifies circuit metrics and minimum values that are design requirements. Since the... » read more

Building In Functional Safety At The Lowest Hardware Levels Supports Autonomous Driving’s Future

By Kurt Shuler - 27 Dec, 2017 - Comments: 0

Long before automotive electronic system designers chose artificial intelligence and machine learning as the path toward the future of autonomous driving’s future, it was clear that high-performance computing platforms typically found in data center systems clearly were not going to provide all the answers. Automotive system designers place more emphasis on functional safety and resilience, w... » read more

Functional safety is one of the most critical priorities for system-on-chips (SoCs) that are involved in automotive, aerospace and industrial applications. These requirements are driven by standards such as ISO 26262 and are the backbone of the design and testing of automotive ICs. Synopsys’ STAR Hierarchical System’s Measurement Unit helps ensure the accuracy of on-chip clock frequency and... » read more

Enabling Automotive Design

By Ann Mutschler - 07 Dec, 2017 - Comments: 0

Falling automotive electronics prices, propelled by advances in chip manufacturing and innovations on the design side, are driving a whole new level of demand across the automotive industry. Innovations that were introduced at the luxury end of the car market over the past couple years already are being implemented in more standard vehicles. The single biggest driver of change in the automo... » read more
