(Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that the Cadence® Tensilica® ConnX B10 and ConnX B20 DSPs are the industry’s first DSPs optimized for automotive radar, lidar and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) to achieve Automotive Safety Integrity Level B in support of D (ASIL B(D))-compliant certification. The ISO 26262:2018 functional safety standard’s ASIL B(D) certification is essential for the development of automotive systems-on-chip (SoCs) used in autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications. For more information on the Tensilica ConnX B10 and B20 DSPs, please visit www.cadence.com/go/connxasilb.\n\nThe ASIL B(D) certification includes support for both random hardware faults (ASIL B) and systematic faults (ASIL D). This certification is based on SGS-TÜV Saar’s comprehensive audit and assessment of the functional safety development flow in accordance with the ISO 26262:2018 standard and can be found on the SGS-TÜV website.\n\n“Cadence Tensilica ConnX B10 and B20 DSPs are the first DSPs optimized for radar, lidar and V2X applications to achieve Functional Safety Processor full compliance based on SGS-TÜV Saar’s comprehensive assessment in accordance with the ISO26262:2018 standard,” said Wolfgang Ruf, head of Functional Safety for Semiconductors at SGS-TÜV Saar. “Certification of the Cadence Tensilica ConnX B10 and B20 DSPs for ASIL D systematic and ASIL B random compliance attests to the high functional safety quality of their DSP IP, which meets stringent automotive industry safety-critical requirements. SoC designers can have peace of mind that their designs can achieve compliance when using functional safety-certified Tensilica DSP IP.”\n\nTensilica ConnX DSPs are widely used for building entry-level to high-performance sensors and communication ICs for automotive applications. These DSPs support various data types (8b, 16b, 32b and 64b) and IEEE 754 floating-point precisions, including half, single and double precision. Application-specific accelerations are designed in to boost radar, lidar and/or communication processing performance. The Tensilica Instruction Extension (TIE) language further boosts performance for the desi...
