Automotive Top Ten – Ten Points to Consider When Using Logic in Your Next Automotive Design

Automotive electronics designers have been turning more frequently to programmable logic solutions to meet the needs of their next generation designs. FPGAs offer time-to-market benefits along with simplified qualification and greater flexibility in comparison to historic ASIC-based solutions.

Actel is a leading supplier of FPGAs to the automotive industry. Actel parts are being used in the most demanding mission-critical systems, such as powertrain and safety subsystems, in addition to infotainment and body electronics designs.

Actel FPGAs are found in automotive applications as diverse as engine control modules (ECM), blind spot vehicle detection, collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control (ACC), rearview back-up assistance vision systems, power steering control, personnel occupancy detection systems (PODS), and video and on-screen text display multiplexing. A combination of firm-error immunity, ultra-low power, extended temperature range, single-chip, and live-at-power-up operation all make Actel the high-reliability choice for under-the-hood, safety, and telematics applications.

Offering a broad range of products with junction temperatures up to 135ºC (AEC-Q100 grade 1), densities up to 1 M system gates, and low-cost, single-chip, flash-based technology, Actel has the programmable logic solution for your next design. With Actel, you work with a partner, not a supplier. Actel is committed to supporting your most demanding designs, providing Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation, and access to a dedicated team of support engineers.

MaxLinear Integrates Analog & Digital Design in One Chip with Cadence 3D Solvers

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

MaxLinear has the unique capability of integrating analog and digital design on the same chip. Because of this, the team developed some interesting technology in the communication space. In the optical infrastructure domain, they created the first fully integrated 5nm CMOS PAM4 DSP. All their products solve critical communication and high-frequency analysis challenges.

Learn more about how MaxLinear is using Cadence’s Clarity 3D Solver and EMX Planar 3D Solver in their design process.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.

Secure Authentication ICs for Disposable and Accessory Ecosystems
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Microchip
Secure authentication for disposable and accessory ecosystems is a critical element for many embedded systems today. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Xavier Bignalet from Microchip discuss the benefits of Microchip’s Trust Platform design suite and how it can provide the security you need for your next embedded design. They investigate the value of symmetric authentication and asymmetric authentication and the roles that parasitic power and package size play in these kinds of designs.
