Accelerate Your Automotive Innovation

Synopsys provides hardware/software co-design capabilities to optimize SoC and E/E architecture for better PPA, safety, reliability, quality, and security. HW/SW co-design enables design teams to more easily identify potential trade-offs and make the best decisions based on market demands and system requirements. The earlier that important architectural decisions can be made, the sooner OEMs and Tier 1s can start focusing on design and development.

Synopsys also provides wide range of products and services to enable HW/SW Co-design, such as consultation from automotive industry expert, Platform Architect, the AI-enabled EDA suite, multi-die solution, automotive-grade IP, AI Accelerators (Sima.ai ML Platform and IP), virtual prototyping and test automation solutions to help you develop electronic Digital Twin.

Synopsys offers a comprehensive set of integrated, standards-based Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) tools, IP, and methodologies that provide observability, analytics, and automation at the silicon level. Our Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) Monitor IP, for example, is certified as ASIL-B Ready and meets the AEC-Q100 Grade 2 standard. 

We also provide the broadest portfolio of automotive-grade IP. This includes interface, processor, security, and foundation IP that help accelerate SoC-level design and qualification. These automotive-grade IP solutions and the continuous insights from SLM are essential for ensuring the long-term functional safety of modern vehicles.

Synopsys' electronics digital twins (eDT) play a crucial role in the automotive development process by allowing you to develop and validate each step before production, from SoC to ECU to E/E Architecture. This ensures that potential issues are addressed early, optimizing the design for performance, safety, reliability, quality, and security.

Synopsys offers Silicon to System design solutions to accelerate and innovate automotive system development process with wide range of solutions ranging from auto grade Silicon IPs to eDT solutions that allows you to shift left the entire software development and validation cycle.

Synopsys ensures the success of automotive projects from early architecture to final delivery by providing guidance and consultation from automotive industry experts, architecture exploration tools for general SoCs to AI SoCs, and Embedded level system simulation and validation solutions.

Synopsys helps in accelerating software development and testing by providing electronics digital twin solutions that support continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD). This allows you to start software development and testing early, ensuring high software quality.

Synopsys supports several methodologies for testing ECU software and embedded control systems, including Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL), and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL). These methodologies are implemented through Synopsys' test automation solution. These methodologies are enabled by industry leading tools- Silver, TPT, Saber, and Automotive VDK.

The Synopsys hardware-assisted verification solution helps accelerate software bring-up and testing at every stage of the product lifecycle, from initial exploration to in-field operation. This ensures that software development and testing are efficient and effective throughout the entire product development process.

Synopsys ensures hig software h software quality during the development process by providing electronics digital twin solutions that facilitate early development and testing. The use of continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD) practices, along with testing methodologies such as MIL, SIL, PIL, and HIL, helps maintain high standards of software quality throughout the product lifecycle.

The Synopsys SLM product family enhances the reliability and performance of silicon components by continuously monitoring critical metrics such as silicon voltage, temperature, margins, and health. This helps ensure that ECUs, CPUs, GPUs, and other architectures maintain optimal performance and reliability.

Synopsys SLM products monitor critical metrics such as silicon voltage, temperature, margins, and health. By tracking these metrics, the SLM products can provide insights into the silicon's reliability and performance.

Synopsys SLM products utilize real-time edge and cloud analytics to assess silicon aging and reliability. This allows for the detection of both systemic and random defects within vehicles and across fleets, providing valuable insights and enabling predictive maintenance.

Synopsys SLM products offer insights into both systemic and random defects affecting silicon aging and reliability. By assessing these factors in real-time, the SLM products help identify potential issues and provide predictive maintenance capabilities.

Synopsys SLM products contribute to predictive maintenance by continuously monitoring silicon metrics and utilizing real-time analytics to assess reliability. This proactive approach helps extend the silicon lifecycle in the field and lowers maintenance costs by addressing potential issues before they lead to failures.
