DENSO LICENSES NETSPEED IP FOR USE IN ADVANCED AUTOMOTIVE PLATFORM SOCS

SAN JOSE, Calif. , Sept 28 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NetSpeed Systems Inc. announced today that DENSO Corporation, a leading global automotive supplier of advanced technology, systems and components, has licensed NetSpeed’s Orion on-chip network IP and Pegasus last-level cache for use in System-on-chip (SoCs) targeting Advanced Automotive Electronic Platforms including autonomous driving (ADAS, Autopilot) systems.

Automobiles are undergoing a dramatic transformation. Design efforts once focused almost exclusively on mechanical power trains and body styling are shifting toward advanced sensing and processing. As cars become autonomous, the SoCs inside that drive them need to be designed differently. SoC design must become much more efficient, error-free, and adaptable to meet next generation of challenges. Achieving the levels of performance, sensing, and functional safety required needs a whole new level of capability. Global leaders like DENSO are leading the charge by spearheading systems and solutions targeted towards the ADAS and autonomous driving systems. NetSpeed’s interconnect technology, with its combination of IP and the Design Cockpit, brings together performance, sensing, and safety, and leverages automation for breakthroughs in automotive design.

“NetSpeed’s interconnect IP offer the outstanding performance, flexibility and advanced functional safety features needed for our products,” said Hideki Sugimoto, General Manager, Semiconductor IP Department, Basic Electronic Technology Unit, DENSO. “Furthermore, NetSpeed Pegasus offering is one of a kind IP that allows us to build scalable platform solutions delivering unprecedented performance, power results.”

"We are excited to be working with DENSO, a company with world-class expertise, experience and an extensive technology portfolio,” said Sundari Mitra, CEO and co-founder of NetSpeed. “DENSO is well positioned to deliver SoC products to drive tomorrow’s automotive systems. With NetSpeed’s IP and the advanced functional safety features it delivers - ISO 26262 ASIL D Compliance - DENSO will be able to utilize its IP more effectively to create richer and more powerful SoC solutions.”
