Automotive is a prime example of one industry where advanced semiconductors are forcing change across all aspects of vehicle development. Accelerated investment is fueling this industry wide evolution, driven by new business models, environmental regulations, and the evolution toward fully autonomous, software-defined vehicles. The demand for fully and semi-autonomous systems has a particularly significant impact on methodologies and flows for system-level verification and testing.

The global appetite for data continues to soar, driving innovation across all industry sectors, including how space-based technology can facilitate a more connected world. Miniaturized satellites configured into constellations offer faster communication and higher bandwidth than lone satellites flying higher in geocentric or high-earth orbits.

The evolution of space-based applications continues to drive innovation across government and private entities. The new demands for advanced capabilities and feature sets have a direct impact on the underlying hardware, driving companies to migrate to smaller geometries to deliver the required performance, area, and power benefits. Simultaneously, the application space is evolving, and mission parameters for these new applications are causing companies to evaluate non-traditional approaches.

Project teams face a host of challenges when developing semiconductors compliant to a safety critical market. ISO 26262 drives state-of-the art safety critical designs for automotive electronics, DO-254 for airborne electronics hardware, and IEC61508 for industrial electronics, to name a few. In the context of ISO 26262, much of the discussion in recent years has been on challenges addressing run time failures (random failures).
