Certification enables customers to develop ISO
26262-compliant SoCs for autonomous driving and ADAS
applications
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that
the Cadence® Tensilica® ConnX B10 and ConnX B20 DSPs are the
industry’s first DSPs optimized for automotive radar, lidar and
vehicle-to-everything (V2X) to achieve Automotive Safety Integrity
Level B in support of D (ASIL B(D))-compliant certification. The
ISO 26262:2018 functional safety standard’s ASIL B(D) certification
is essential for the development of automotive systems-on-chip
(SoCs) used in autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance
systems (ADAS) applications. For more information on the Tensilica
ConnX B10 and B20 DSPs, please visit
www.cadence.com/go/connxasilb.
The ASIL B(D) certification includes support for both random
hardware faults (ASIL B) and systematic faults (ASIL D). This
certification is based on SGS-TÜV Saar’s comprehensive audit and
assessment of the functional safety development flow in accordance
with the ISO 26262:2018 standard and can be found on the SGS-TÜV
website.
“Cadence Tensilica ConnX B10 and B20 DSPs are the first DSPs
optimized for radar, lidar and V2X applications to achieve
Functional Safety Processor full compliance based on SGS-TÜV Saar’s
comprehensive assessment in accordance with the ISO26262:2018
standard,” said Wolfgang Ruf, head of Functional Safety for
Semiconductors at SGS-TÜV Saar. “Certification of the Cadence
Tensilica ConnX B10 and B20 DSPs for ASIL D systematic and ASIL B
random compliance attests to the high functional safety quality of
their DSP IP, which meets stringent automotive industry
safety-critical requirements. SoC designers can have peace of mind
that their designs can achieve compliance when using functional
safety-certified Tensilica DSP IP.”
Tensilica ConnX DSPs are widely used for building entry-level to
high-performance sensors and communication ICs for automotive
applications. These DSPs support various data types (8b, 16b, 32b
and 64b) and IEEE 754 floating-point precisions, including half,
single and double precision. Application-specific accelerations are
designed in to boost radar, lidar and/or communication processing
performance. The Tensilica Instruction Extension (TIE) language
further boosts performance for the designer’s specific algorithm
and applications. With a common instruction-set architecture (ISA)
and consistent programming model, Tensilica DSPs help protect a
customer’s software investment by providing a high degree of
software portability and reusability.
“Ensuring coverage for random hardware faults and systematic
faults is mandatory for development of ISO 26262-compliant SoCs,”
said Larry Przywara, senior group director, Tensilica marketing at
Cadence. “Processing requirements for ADAS and autonomous vehicles
continue to escalate to support more sophisticated radar, lidar and
V2X functions. The industry-first ASIL B(D) certification of the
Tensilica ConnX B10 and B20 DSPs designed for these functions
enables designers to develop performance-leading ISO
26262-compliant automotive SoCs. In addition, the Tensilica Vision
Q7 DSP for vision and AI applications has also received ASIL B (D)
compliance certification.”
Tensilica ConnX DSPs support Cadence’s Intelligent System
Design™ strategy, enabling SoC design excellence.
