Silicon IP for Ethernet interface in automotive Ics

Are you designing a new semiconductor chip for car with built in Ethernet controller and you do not have resources or time to develop the chip faster, here is ready IP from Cadence. To address the growing trend of using Ethernet as networking standards in automotives, Cadence Design Systems has made available industry’s first Automotive Ethernet Design IP and Verification IP (VIP) for the latest automotive Ethernet controllers. The standards-based Design IP and VIP support the latest Automotive Ethernet extensions as defined by the OPEN Alliance Special Interest Group (SIG).

Ethernet for in-vehicle networking is said to be simple and cost effective cabling solution for the Automotive Industry with low-weight, unshielded twisted pair cable.

“The introduction of Ethernet for in-vehicle networking delivers revolutionary benefits to automotive connectivity relative to the costly, low performance and proprietary technology previously used,” said Martin Lund, Senior Vice President, SOC Realization Group, Cadence. “With our new IP and VIP offering, customers can more easily implement the latest automotive requirements and create advanced Ethernet-based products for in-vehicle communication.”
