Optimizing Interconnect Topologies For Automotive ADAS Applications

By Ashley Stevens - 25 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Designing automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications can be incredibly complex. State-of-the-art ADAS and autonomous driving systems use ‘sensor fusion’ to combine inputs from multiple sources, typically cameras and optionally radar and lidar units to go beyond passive and active safety to automate driving. Vision processing systems combine specialized AI accelerators... » read more

The Uncertainty Of Certifying AI For Automotive

By Ann Mutschler - 06 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 1

Nearly every new vehicle sold uses AI to make some decisions, but so far there is no consistency in what is being developed, where it is being used, and whether it is compatible with other vehicles on the road. This fragmentation is partially due to the fact that AI is still a nascent technology, and cars and trucks sold today may be significantly different than those that will be sold sever... » read more

Verifying Safety-Critical FPGA Designs With Fault Simulation

By Synopsys - 12 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

Supporting safety and assurance in designs, such as the chips used in industrial, aerospace and defense applications, requires more than traditional functional verification. Even if every bug is found and fixed before release, these applications have additional requirements for functional safety. They must be able to handle a variety of faults and induced errors, either by correcting them or by... » read more

Automation And Fault Simulation Of Safety-Critical FPGA Designs

By Joe Mallett - 15 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Functional safety is a major challenge for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other semiconductor designs. Safety requirements go beyond traditional verification, which focuses on design bugs. Chips in safety-critical applications must be able to handle a variety of faults from sources such as temperature and power extremes, device aging, radiation, ionization and component failures. Ap... » read more
