The Californer/10255355

~ Today, Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) announced the industry's broadest portfolio of automotive-grade Interface and Foundation IP for TSMC's N5A process. This new IP is designed to meet 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.

Dan Kochpatcharin, head of the Design Infrastructure Management Division at TSMC said, "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. 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."

John Koeter, senior vice president of marketing and strategy for IP at Synopsys added that "New generations of automotive SoC designs will need to support massive amounts of safety-critical data processed at extreme speeds and with high reliability. 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."
