MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- Synopsys Virtualizer Development Kits enable software
development up to 18 months before silicon and shift testing from
physical to virtual
- Synopsys and Infineon collaboration focuses on modeling,
software development, and delivery of VDKs for automotive
customers
- VDK for Infineon AURIX TC4x microcontroller availability
planned for Q1 2020
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced the
expansion of the automotive Center of Excellence collaboration with
Infineon to speed development of automotive electronic systems and
deliver Synopsys Virtualizer™ Development Kits (VDKs)
for Infineon's third-generation AURIX™ microcontroller
family. Synopsys VDKs for Infineon AURIX microcontrollers enable
Infineon's tier 1 and OEM customers to develop software, perform
regression testing, and fault injection up to 18 months before
silicon availability.
"Next-generation automotive electronic systems will require
leading-edge microcontrollers to support increasing software
content and optimized control algorithms," said Peter Schäfer, vice
president and general manager, Automotive Microcontroller at
Infineon. "Expanding our successful Center of Excellence
collaboration with Synopsys will enable more automotive customers
to leverage the unique benefits of Synopsys' virtual prototyping
solutions and expertise earlier in the development process."
AURIX is Infineon's family of microcontrollers serving the needs
of automotive and industrial customers' applications in terms of
performance and safety. Its innovative multi-core architecture has
been designed to meet the highest safety standards while increasing
the performance at the same time. Synopsys and Infineon have
been collaborating since the first Infineon AURIX TC2x family,
enabling software development to start up to 18 months before
silicon is available and moving testing from a physical to a
virtual environment. Today, Synopsys VDKs for Infineon's AURIX TC3x
family have been deployed successfully at multiple tier 1 and OEM
companies worldwide for early software development and to
accelerate system testing, fault, and coverage, as well as
regression testing. The collaboration between Synopsys and Infineon
has established the only solution in the market combining speed,
accuracy, and vendor-verified models. Synopsys VDKs for AURIX TC4x
series will leverage years of expertise, complemented by Synopsys
models, including models of Synopsys DesignWare® IP
models.
"A key enabler to our recently announced collaboration with
Synopsys is the availability of virtual prototype models from
Synopsys," said Martin Schleicher, executive vice president,
Business Management at Elektrobit (EB). "The Synopsys and Infineon
cooperation to deliver VDKs for the AURIX Family allows us to
support our embedded and connected AUTOSAR-based software products
for future generations ahead of time."
"Synopsys and Infineon have collaborated for many years to
deliver and deploy proven Virtualizer Development Kits for the
Infineon AURIX Family," said Eshel
Haritan, vice president of engineering in the Verification
Group at Synopsys. "Expanding our collaboration to deliver a VDK
for AURIX 3G will build on this experience and ensure our joint
automotive customers can start their software development earlier
with a fast, accurate, and high-quality verified solution
earlier."
Availability and Resources
VDKs for AURIX TC2x and TC3x series are available now.
VDK for AURIX TC4x series is planned to be available in Q1
2020.
