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

Automotive System Design Challenges
By Ann Mutschler - 29 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

The automotive semiconductor market did exceptionally well last year. IHS reported strong vehicle production growth and increased semiconductor content in 2014, and that trend is likely to continue with semiconductor revenue for the automotive segment to reach $31 billion this year, up from $29 billion last year. The market research company affirmed the fastest growing segments for automoti... » read more

The ABCs Of ISO 26262
By Kurt Shuler - 18 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 2

Over the last one-and-a-half years that I have been elbow-deep working on the FlexNoC Resilience Package, I’ve been keeping a running list of ISO 26262 abbreviations and acronyms that reoccurred in my work, and kept confusing me whenever I performed a “context switch” from working on different projects to working on my functional safety products. I’ve received feedback that my list is h... » read more

Enabling ISO 26262 Qualification
By Cadence - 17 Dec, 2014 - Comments: 0

This document describes how to approach the software tool qualification outlined in ISO 26262 when developing automotive electrical and electronic systems using Cadence tools. Cadence provides an ISO 26262 Tool Qualification Kit, also described in this document, that can help developers through the process with common use cases and reference workflows. Following these guidelines speeds developm... » read more

Blog Review: Nov. 5

Cadence's Brian Fuller zeroes in on ISO 26262, the automotive safety standard that's supposed to guard against nightmare failures in your car. Hopefully it works. They won't protect against cyber terrorism, though. Rambus' Aharon Etengoff takes a look at the challenges of connected vehicles. Mentor's J. Van Domelen looks at NASA's increased reliance on commercial partners, which has not b... » read more

A Primer On ISO 26262 Certification
By Kurt Shuler - 29 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

As the electronic processing capabilities of the average car increases, more and more software, semiconductor, and semiconductor IP companies are trying to enter the automotive electronics market. Many of these new entrants have strong backgrounds in consumer electronics or the PC industry, and are new to the unique requirements of the automotive market. The purpose of this article is to pro... » read more
