A more appropriate title for this blog could be “All Vehicles with ADAS Need the Midas Functional Safety Platform”.
EVs tend to have advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) because they’re newer, but not all vehicles with ADAS are EVs!
Certifying Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is a multifaceted process involving rigorous testing, validation, and regulatory compliance to ensure safety and reliability.
As ADAS technologies become increasingly sophisticated, the certification process is evolving to meet these challenges.
The ISO26262 standard provides the requirements to be met to attain safety certification for digital designs.
One of the key aspects of ADAS certification is functional safety. This includes:
- Ensuring the system operates as intended under all conditions, including failures.
- Adherence to standards like ISO26262.
- Rigorous testing to identify potential hazards and mitigate risks.
The Midas Safety Platform provides early-phase exploration of functional safety architectures and leverages native chip design data to perform accurate safety analysis efficiently.
The platform is a unified solution available across Cadence products, and with its modular architecture, it supports both embedded and standalone usage with the Cadence flow.
After extracting the design information, an output Midas database file contains the isolated DUT and provides the design components and their fault tolerances to various tools in the flow.
Conformal can easily verify design transformations that include necessary components like TMR for safety.
In these videos, we explore how to create reports for both Transient and Permanent faults.
