The two-wheel and three-wheel vehicle market is undergoing a technological transformation, driven by the need for greater safety, enhanced rider experiences, electrification, and sustainable, economical urban transportation. Next-Gen DCC Enables Safer, Smarter and More Connected Two-Wheel Vehicles The shift from legacy instrument clusters to digital connected clusters (DCCs) has accelerated in recent years to meet […]

The rapidly evolving automotive landscape is shifting from the traditional distributed architecture to centralized compute architecture coupled with domain integration. There is also mass deployment of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) – the drive towards more autonomy. These transformations in turn are fueling the change from a hardware-central model to a software-defined vehicle (SDV) model. All […]

Robotic vacuums have surged in popularity over the past decade, thanks to their ability to keep homes clean without the hassle of manual vacuuming. These robots utilize spatial computing algorithms for navigation, broadly referred to as SLAM, an abbreviation for simultaneous localization and mapping. Traditionally SLAM is processed on powerful embedded processors. However, the introduction […]

There are two major applications for FemtoClock™ 3 Wireless (3W): One is wireline for 224G PAM SerDes reference clocks, and the other is wireless for “5G Advanced” radio units or small cell.   Due to GPU farm/AI node ramping in recent days, all the networking speeds are moving from 112G PAM4 to 224G PAM4 SerDes […]

Functional safety is a key design consideration for automotive systems, especially for safety-critical functions like braking, steering and an array of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Regulatory bodies worldwide are implementing stricter safety standards for autonomous vehicles (AVs) and ADAS technologies to mitigate risks and potential system failures throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle. This trend also […]

Recent vision AI models have to deal with dynamic and complex environments, resulting in the need for more power efficiency and speed in real-time applications. To meet the market needs, Renesas released the next-generation Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor for AI (DRP-AI) accelerator. The DRP-AI accelerator delivers high-power efficiency of 10 TOPS/W, up to 10 times higher […]
