Accelerating Automotive SoC Design with Chiplets
The automotive industry is evolving rapidly with the increasing demand for intelligent, connected, and autonomous vehicles. Central to this transformation are System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, which integrate multiple processing units into a single chip for managing everything from safety systems to in-car entertainment. However, as these systems become more complex, traditional SoC designs face challenges around performance, power, and scalability. Chiplet-based architectures are now driving innovation by offering more flexible, efficient, and customizable solutions for automotive SoCs.
Cadence recently hosted a webinar on this topic, with Moshiko Emmer, a Distinguished Engineer for the company’s Silicon Solutions Group (SSG) presenting.
Benefits of Leveraging Chiplets in Automotive SoC Design
Chiplet-based designs are reshaping automotive SoC development by offering a modular and scalable approach. Each chiplet, such as CPU cores, memory units, or specialized processing units like NPUs, is a self-contained module that can be easily integrated into larger systems. As automotive systems advance, especially with ADAS, infotainment, and autonomous driving, chiplet architectures provide several key advantages.
- Enable engineers to focus on specific value-added functions, reducing development time, cost, and risk while improving time-to-market.
- Allow for highly scalable designs, meeting the varying performance and power needs of different vehicle segments.
- Ensure long-term cost efficiency and adaptability to new technologies through reuse of chiplets across multiple generations of SoCs
By combining off-the-shelf chiplets with specialized automotive IP, manufacturers can build comprehensive solutions, benefiting from a broad ecosystem of reference designs and industry-standard IP.
