Cadence LPDDR4/4X Memory IP Subsystem Achieves ISO 26262 ASIL C Certification from SGS-TUV Saar Using TSMC 16FFC Process Technology
Cadence IP is complete and ready for use by customers creating SoCs for ADAS and L3/L4 autonomous driving applications
SAN JOSE, Calif., 17 Apr 2019 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that the Cadence® LPDDR4/4X memory IP subsystem, utilizing TSMC’s 16nm FinFET Compact (16FFC) technology, has achieved ISO 26262 ASIL C certification from SGS-TÜV Saar. The certification confirms that the Cadence IP is complete and ready for use by customers creating advanced systems-on-chip (SoCs) for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and L3/L4 autonomous driving applications.
“High-performance memory subsystems are essential elements in ADAS and autonomous driving applications and must be developed to meet more stringent requirements,” stated Wolfgang Ruf, product manager, Semiconductors, at SGS-TÜV Saar. “Following a rigorous evaluation, the Cadence LPDDR4/4X PHY and controller subsystem has been certified by SGS-TÜV Saar in accordance with the ISO 26262 standard and is ASIL C ready, allowing SoC designers to use this high-performance subsystem as a critical design element in ASIL C systems.”
Both established and new entrants into the automotive market—start-ups, OEMs and internet companies—have to cope with meeting stringent functional safety requirements. To ease the delivery of safety-critical applications, design teams need access to proven, ISO 26262 ASIL C-ready IP such as the Cadence LPDDR4/4X memory subsystem, which includes the leading-edge Cadence 4266 speed grade LPDDR4/4X DDR PHY, controller IP, and Cadence VIP.
