SAN JOSE, Calif.--Exploiting exploding interest in new automotive networking schemes, Cadence Design Systems Tuesday (Nov. 27) began offering Automotive Ethernet Design IP and Verification IP (VIP) for the 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).
The automotive industry is trending towards Ethernet for
in-vehicle networking based on IEEE standards driven by the OPEN
Alliance SIG to develop a simpler and more powerful Automotive
Electrical/Electronic Architecture. Ethernet for in-vehicle
networking provides a cost effective cabling solution for the
Automotive Industry with low-weight, unshielded twisted pair
cable.
The Cadence MAC Design IP speeds development of automotive Ethernet-based integrated circuits. In addition, Cadence Ethernet VIP customers can automate complex conformance tests of the automotive ethernet protocol and take advantage of advanced verification methodologies. Cadence VIP significantly shortens the overall testbench development time resulting in increased verification productivity.
Cadence Ethernet IP is UNH-tested and silicon-proven in many high-volume commercial products. Leveraging membership and participation in the OPEN Alliance SIG and IEEE 802.3 and 802.1 standards community, Cadence continues to upgrade its IP solution to give customers the highest confidence in their Ethernet solutions.For more information, visit Cadence Design VIP.
