WEBINAR: Leverage Certified RISC-V IP to Craft ASIL ISO 26262 Grade Automotive Chips
The automotive industry imposes stringent requirements on Functional Safety. For semiconductor companies involved in automotive chips and even further upstream in Silicon Intellectual Property (SIP), obtaining ISO 26262 certification is a fundamental requirement for product penetration into automotive applications.… Read More
An Update on IP-XACT standard 2022
Semiconductor IP design re-use has enabled the relentless growth in complexity of SoC and chiplet-based systems over the years, and with IP reuse comes many unique challenges. Fabless design companies use IP provided by a vibrant ecosystem of IP suppliers and foundries, plus internal re-use in the quest to get to market more … Read More
Long-standing Roadblock to Viable L4/L5 Autonomous Driving and Generative AI Inference at the Edge
Two recent software-based algorithmic technologies –– autonomous driving (ADAS/AD) and generative AI (GenAI) –– are keeping the semiconductor engineering community up at night.
While ADAS at Level 2 and Level 3 are on track, AD at Levels 4 and 5 are far from reality, causing a drop in venture capital enthusiasm and money. Today,… Read More
Synopsys – TSMC Collaboration Unleashes Innovation for TSMC OIP Ecosystem
As the focal point of the TSMC OIP ecosystem, TSMC has been driving important initiatives over the last few years to bring multi-die systems to the mainstream. As the world is moving quickly toward Generative AI technology and AI-based systems, multi-die and chiplet-based implementations are becoming essential. TSMC recently… Read More
Synopsys Expands Synopsys.ai EDA Suite with Full-Stack Big Data Analytics Solution
More than two years ago, Synopsys launched its AI-driven design space optimization (DSO.ai) capability. It is part of the company’s Synopsys.ai EDA suite, an outcome of its overarching AI initiative. Since then, DSO.ai has boosted designer productivity and has been leveraged for 270 production tape-outs. DSO.ai uses machine… Read More
ISO 21434 for Cybersecurity-Aware SoC Development
The automotive industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation, with vehicles becoming more connected, automated, and reliant on software. While these advancements promise convenience, comfort and efficiency to the consumers, the nature and complexity of the technologies also raise concerns for functional safety … Read More
How Do You Future-Proof Security?
If you are designing electronics to go into a satellite or a military drone, it better have a useful lifetime of 15-20 years or more. Ditto for the grid or other critical infrastructure, your car, medical devices, anything where we demand absolute reliability. Reliability also requires countermeasures against hacking by anyone… Read More
Accellera and Clock Domain Crossing at #60DAC
Accellera sponsored a luncheon panel discussion at #60DAC, so I registered and attended to learn more about one of the newest working groups for Clock Domain Crossing (CDC). An overview of Accellera was provided by Lu Dai, then the panel discussion was moderated by Paul McLellan of Cadence, with the following panel members:
- Anupam
Xcelium Safety Certification Rounds Out Cadence Safety Solution
While fully autonomous driving may now be a distant dream, ADAS continues to be a very active industry driver as much for its safety advantages as for other features. Today in the hierarchy of SAE levels, SAE 2+ may represent the most active area of development rather than levels 3 through 5. This range of options still requires a human… Read More
