Black Sesame Technologies first licensed Arteris IP semiconductor IP in 2019 and has implemented the technology in a production ISO 26262-compliant ADAS chip design. (See, “Arteris^® IP FlexNoC^® Interconnect and Resilience Package Licensed by Black Sesame for ISO 26262-Compliant AI Chips for ADAS.”)

“We successfully used the Arteris FlexNoC interconnect IP and Resilience Package in our previous generation ISO 26262 ASIL B systems and have been impressed with Arteris IP’s product maturity, performance and functional safety capabilities,” said David Zeng, senior vice president of Black Sesame. “The Arteris IP FlexNoC interconnect and Resilience Package truly helped us more quickly develop our complex ADAS SoCs, which incorporate extensive artificial intelligence hardware acceleration, while providing the required functional safety mechanisms for us to achieve ISO 26262 compliance. In addition, the local Arteris IP engineering support team provided valuable architectural and functional safety feedback as we developed our chips.”

“Black Sesame’s decision to again license Arteris IP interconnect technology is validation of the unique functional safety, time to market, and system performance benefits our semiconductor IP brings to the automotive industry,” said K. Charles Janac, president and CEO of Arteris IP. “Arteris IP is focused on novel on-chip interconnect technologies that accelerate the development of complex autonomous driving chips.”
