In recent years the automotive industry is undergoing a tremendous revolution when more and more electronics systems are introduced into cars by all major manufacturers.
Many of these systems are built on ASIC infrastructure, where both ASIC players and car manufacturers has to adopt to each other to provide the needed solutions for the market.

​

Inomize is positioned located to assist ASIC players to address the needs of this growing market, due to vast experience in various ASIC projects in that domain, projects like video machine learning, car connectivity, infotainment and other, where Inomize exercised it’s proven TO methodologies and VLSI know how.

​

The Inomize engineering team is intimately familiar with the various standards, protocols, concepts and alike that are associated with designing an SoC for the automotive market, like:

​

1. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
2. ISO26262 - Road vehicles – Functional safety standard
3. Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) 
4. In Vehicle Infotainment (IVI)
5. Light Imaging, Detection, And Ranging (LIDAR)
6. Connected Car
7. Autonomous Driving 

 

Inomize has worked on several projects involving functional safety.

Two of them are described below:

• Project 1

  • We developed an ASIC ASIL B, ISO 26262 ADAS using TSMC 16nmFFC, where Inomize invested more than 40 man years in developing the ASIC.

  • As part of the development we implemented the following safety mechanism:

    • memory ECCs

    • clock monitors

    • parity bits

    • LBIST

    • safe island

    • lock step methodology

    • FIT calculation

     

• Project 2

  • We are developing an ASIC ASIL B ISO 26262 vehicle communication using TSMC 28nm HPC+, where Inomize is inverting ~20 MY in developing the ASIC

  • As part of the development we implemented the following safety mechanism:

    • memory ECCs

    • clock monitors

    • parity bits

    • LBIST

    • FMEDA

    • lock step methodology

    • FIT calculation
