Domain controllers and gateways are being replaced by central processing modules and zonal gateways to handle all of the data traffic in a vehicle. Ron DiGiuseppe, automotive IP segment manager at Synopsys, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about how automotive applications are changing, what that means for engineering teams, and how they will shift as AI is increasingly deployed. » read more

Overcoming Next-Generation AESA Radar Design Challenges
By Cadence - 24 Mar, 2021 - Comments: 0

Phased array antennas were first used in military radar systems to scan the radar beam quickly across the sky to detect planes and missiles. These systems are becoming popular for a variety of applications and new active electronically scanned arrays (AESAs) are being used for radar systems in satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles. As these systems are deployed in new and novel ways, size and... » read more

A Look Inside ADAS Modules

Lidar-on-a-chip At the upcoming IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), Samsung will present a paper on the industry’s first single-chip lidar beam scanner. (Go to this link and then look for paper 7.2, “Single-Chip Beam Scanner with Integrated Light Source for Real-Time Light Detection and Ranging,” J. Lee et al, Samsung.) Lidar, or light imaging, detection, and ranging, ... » read more

HDL Simulation Acceleration Solution For Microchip FPGA Designs
By Aldec - 23 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Mission-critical FPGA designs for space and radar applications continue to increase in complexity, such that they require a comprehensive and robust verification environment. There are hardware-in-the-loop solutions in the market that utilize FPGA boards, but when it comes to establishing functional coverage and debugging the custom logic, users would typically need to go back to HDL simulation... » read more

Simulate Automotive Radar In 5 Dimensions
By Ushemadzoro Chipengo - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Automotive radar has emerged as one of the backbone technologies in the automotive industry’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) revolution. Because radar uses electromagnetic waves to sense the environment, it can operate over a long distance in poor visibility or inclement weather conditions. Designing automotive radar that accurately captures diverse traffic situations will be essen... » read more

Manufacturing Bits: May 5
By Mark LaPedus - 05 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

Spiking neural network radar chip Imec has developed what the R&D organization says is the world’s first chip that processes radar signals using a spiking recurrent neural network. Initially, the chip from Imec is designed for low-power, anti-collision radar systems in drones. Neural networks are used in the field of machine learning. A subset of AI, machine learning utilizes a neu... » read more
