SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Synopsys,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) announced the industry's broadest portfolio of
automotive-grade Interface and Foundation IP for TSMC's N5A
process. Together, Synopsys and TSMC are helping to power the next
generation of software-defined vehicles by enabling long-term
reliability and high-performance compute requirements of automotive
system-on-chips (SoCs).
"TSMC has worked closely with our design ecosystem partners to
provide the automotive semiconductor industry with cutting-edge
solutions in IP, EDA, and manufacturing technologies," said Dan
Kochpatcharin, head of the Design Infrastructure Management
Division at TSMC. "Synopsys' portfolio of automotive-grade IP for
TSMC's N5A process enables automotive chip innovators to accelerate
the design of their safety-critical SoCs while taking advantage of
N5A's significant performance, power efficiency, and logic density
boost."
"New generations of automotive SoC designs will need to support
massive amounts of safety-critical data processed at extreme speeds
and with high reliability," said John
Koeter, senior vice president of marketing and strategy for
IP at Synopsys. "Synopsys' high-quality, automotive-grade Interface
and Foundation IP on TSMC's N5A process enables automotive OEMs,
Tier 1s, and semiconductor companies to minimize IP integration
risk and help meet the required functional safety, performance, and
reliability levels for their SoCs."
Synopsys IP on the TSMC N5A process is designed and tested to
the AEC-Q100 reliability and automotive Grade 2 temperature
standards for ambient -40°C to 105°C, helping to ensure reliability
of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), highly automated
driving (HAD) systems, and zonal SoCs. The Synopsys IP portfolio
meets the ISO 26262 standard for random hardware faults, enabling
automotive OEMs, Tier 1s, and semiconductor companies to accelerate
the development and assessment of their safety-critical SoCs and
reach their designs' functional safety Automotive Safety Integrity
Level (ASIL) targets. Automotive-grade Synopsys IP, which has been
integrated into more than 100 ADAS chips, is part of Synopsys'
automotive SoC and software development offering that includes
design, verification, electronics digital twin, and prototyping
solutions to accelerate development of chips for software-defined
vehicles.
