Car Industry Changing Under The Hood 

January 7th, 2021 - By Ann Steffora Mutschler

Auto electronics are becoming more centralized, connected, and complex, and the entire supply chain is realigning around those shifts.

It wasn’t that long ago that security was viewed as something nice to have, noted Kurt Shuler, vice president of marketing at Arteris IP. “I’ve got some friends who are in the security IP business and I joke with them that they’re actually in the insurance business since there’s no requirement for any of this. A smartphone may be insecure, but five years after you sold the IP or the software, you’re not likely to be sued for having an insecure phone, so who cares? Cars are different. Cars have a safety of life issue, and now there are standards because of that, and it’s something being designed in upfront. Not just market forces, but also standards make things safer for everybody.”

Japanese fabless semiconductor pioneer leverages Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect IP for on-chip quality-of-service (QoS) and ISO 26262 compliance.

CAMPBELL, Calif. – January 5, 2021 – Arteris IP, the world’s leading supplier of innovative, silicon-proven network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect intellectual property, today announced that MegaChips has licensed Arteris^® FlexNoC^® interconnect IP and the accompanying Resilience Package for use as the on-chip communications backbone for an automotive Ethernet TSN switch chip. MegaChips is a long-time Arteris IP licensee and are expert users of the company’s FlexNoC and Resilience Package interconnect IP products.

We adopted Arteris interconnect IP to accelerate development of our Automotive Ethernet TSN Switch Chip. Arteris IP FlexNoC effortlessly integrates functional safety mechanisms in our chip while allowing us to quickly analyze performance and quality-of-service using built-in simulation and an easy-to-use human interface. MegaChips has used Arteris NoC technology many times over the years and time we achieved amazing results such as small die area, low power consumption, easy development flow, and fast integrated performance analysis. Using Arteris NoC technology saves development resources and will speed up our entry into the automotive market. In addition, Arteris support is always quick and polite. They are the reason why we choose Arteris IP."

CEO Outlook: 2021 

January 4th, 2021 - By Ed Sperling

The semiconductor industry will look and behave differently this year, and not just because of the pandemic.

"Chiplets will become increasingly important", said K. Charles Janac, president and CEO of Arteris IP. "Some will be for specific functions. Some will require specialized processors. But to make all of this work, the interconnects will need to become even more sophisticated than they are today. The good thing about the interconnect is there are almost unlimited innovation possibilities. There are a lot of ways to add value.”

Learning ISO 26262 -2nd Edition 

December 7th, 2020 - By Kurt Shuler

Interpreting the functional safety standard isn't as simple as just looking at the document.

Ambiguity is a feature, not a bug!

Why? Partly ambiguity. Because what I think is clear, you may not think is clear. And some of this ambiguity is intentional: This is a voluntary (thought widely followed) standard, aiming to preserve flexibility for innovation and differentiation. The committees don't want to be too prescriptive, which inevitably leads to some ambiguity.

Using ICs To Shrink Auto's Carbon Footprint

December 3rd, 2020 - By Ann Steffora Mutschler

How chips will play an increasingly vital role in improving efficiency of cars and infrastructure.

Eliminating or reducing redundancy can help, as well. While cars are truly becoming supercomputers on wheels, at the same time there’s less redundancy. “There’s more compute power, but it’s compensated by systems that are more elegant,” said Guillaume Boillet, director of product management at Arteris IP. “There is rationalization of the traffic, and of course, as the technology improves, over time the chips consume less and less, so it’s a balancing act.”

SoC technology leader provides NoC interconnect and SoC IP deployment technologies to speed chip development for the AI/ML era.
