ISO 26262: Top 3 Reasons For Hardware Implementation Of Functional Safety
By Kurt Shuler - 24 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 0

I’ve written articles before about ISO 26262 Certification because many SoC design teams are challenged by the barriers they have to overcome to achieve automotive functional safety, especially if they previously enjoyed success in mobility or computing but now want to shift attention to the growing array of electronics used in transportation such as automated driver assistance systems (ADAS)... » read more

Quality And Safety In Automotive Electronics: Venturing beyond ISO-26262
By Bernard Murphy - 03 Sep, 2015 - Comments: 1

By Bernard Murphy and Jim Hogan Rumors of ‘Project Titan’, the Apple Car, are making the rounds. True or not, when we hear Apple touted as a potential automaker, it’s clear how pervasively electronic content has invaded our cars. A 2013 National Auto Dealers Association report graded electronic content at 15% of auto-buying decision factors, impressive growth from close to zero only... » read more

Using Automotive-Ready IP To Accelerate SoC Development
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 13 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

IP suppliers play a key role in the automotive supply chain to enable high-performance advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) SoCs. Vision-based SoCs may contain a high amount of third-party IP to implement the key embedded vision, sensor fusion, multimedia, security and advanced connectivity functions. And while IP suppliers have permeated the semiconductor ecosystem for consumer, mobile, PC... » read more

Executive Insight: Wally Rhines
By Ed Sperling - 01 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

Wally Rhines, chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about what's changing across a wide swath of the industry, where the new opportunities will be, when security will become a real opportunity for EDA, and why Moore's Law will die but progress will continue forever. SE: Looking back over the past year, what's changed and where are the possible r... » read more

The Wild West Of Automotive
By Brian Bailey - 09 Apr, 2015 - Comments: 0

Automotive is considered one of the great new markets for EDA and IP. Electronic complexity is increasing rapidly, product update cycles are decreasing, and new standards mean that many of the old ways of doing development are no longer possible. Such change creates opportunity, along with a certain degreed of confusion. As the number of discrete systems increases, so do costs. Electronics c... » read more

NoC Reliability: Simplified
By Randy Smith - 26 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

Recently, the reliability features of on-chip network (NoC) IP have received much attention. One reason for this focus has been the rush of companies to get into the automotive electronics market and the explosion of new automotive features being implemented in electronic systems. While the details may vary, the high-level view of on-chip network reliability is really quite simple. At the ar... » read more

Automotive Drives Novel IP Demands
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

In the past the automotive industry was a bit sleepy when it came to technologic innovations. Clearly, this is no longer the case. The automotive segment is now driving interesting capabilities and an unprecedented level of creativity by the IP and SoC engineering teams targeting this now-dynamic sector. Historically, electronics for automotive was very different from those aimed at consumer... » read more

Enabling ISO 26262 Qualification
By Cadence - 05 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

ISO 26262 focuses on the functional safety of electrical and electronic systems that are installed in series production passenger cars. This adaptation of IEC 61508 is for the automotive sector and affects all systems containing software- or hardware-based electrical, electronic, or electromechanical components. ISO 26262 covers many aspects of safety-related automotive software production, i... » read more

Reliability Definition Is Changing
By Ed Sperling - 12 Feb, 2015 - Comments: 0

Since the invention of the integrated circuit, reliability has been defined by how long a chip continues to work. It either turned on and did what it was designed to do, or it didn't. But that definition is no longer so black-and-white. Parts of an SoC, or even an IP or memory block, can continue to function while other parts do not. Some may work intermittently, or at lower speeds. Others may ... » read more
