ASICs help build complex industrial and automotive systems
New technologies are forcing industrial and automotive manufacturers to act. Topics such as machine learning, CNNs (convolutional neural networks), driver-assistance systems and functional safety have been dominating the agenda and are finding their way into many electrical systems in these markets.
While implementing the above requires a lot of high-performance circuitry to be integrated, the requirements for power and heat dissipation are similarly challenging and often contradictory.
Custom SoC (ASIC) solutions
Today’s state-of-the-art ASICs (application specific integrated circuits) offer unparalleled integration levels. Complete multi-processor systems using CPUs (central processing units), DSPs (digital signal processors), GPUs (graphical processing units), NNAs (neural network accelerators) and other digital circuits can be integrated together with analog and RF circuitry.
At the same time, ASICs are by definition customized products that can be tailored to the application they are designed for. This will help optimize your product for performance, power and area.
