  6. Automotive Semiconductors “It is now estimated that the cost of the electronics in a new car rises by 9-16 percent each year. In the 2001 model year, electronics accounted for 19 percent of a mid-sized vehicle's cost. In the year 2005, it may be 25 percent for mid-sized cars and possibly 50 percent for luxury models. ” Source: http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/publicfeature/apr02/ecar.html Apr 12th, 02

  13. Driver Support Systems:Car Driver Assistance • Driver and passenger safety is a primary concern of the automotive industry • Car driver assistance augments physical safety systems such as air bags, side impact protection… • Latest car drive assistance systems based on: • Video processing systems - rear view mirror & dash board • Monitors condition out side (collision avoidance) and inside (if the driver falls asleep!) • If the driver drives erratically or a collision is about to happen the system will bring the car to a halt or try to avoid the collision • Xilinx FPGAs have been used in such systems to aid with video image manipulation (DSP)

  14. Driver Support Systems:Adaptive Cruise Control • Adaptive Cruise Control or Collision Avoidance systems • Intensive Digital Signal Processing required • Xilinx FPGAs offer extremely fast parallel digital signal processing • Parallel processing maximizes data throughput • Support any level of parallelism • Optimal performance/cost tradeoff • FPGAs also support serial processing • Standard Digital Signal Processors process signals serially

  16. Loop Algorithm 256 times MAC unit Performance Limitation of Conventional DSP • Fixed inflexible architecture • Typically 1-4 MAC units • Fixed data width • Serial processing limits data throughput • Time-shared MAC unit • High clock frequency creates difficult system-challenge Conventional DSP Device(Von Neumann architecture, or extensions thereof) Data In Reg Data Out Example256 Tap FIR Filter = 256 multiply and accumulate (MAC) operations per data sample

  17. FPGA Performance Advantage • Flexible architecture • Distributed DSP resources (LUT, registers, multipliers, & memory) • Parallel processing maximizes data throughput • Support any level of parallelism • Optimal performance/cost tradeoff • FPGAs also support serial processing FPGA Data In Reg1 Reg2 Reg255 Reg0 C0 C1 C2 C255 ....

  21. Soft Processor IP Cores • Soft processor cores can be ‘owned’ by the customer and used across many projects – never going obsolete! • Peripheral can be added to make up only the functions that are required – no wasted peripherals or logic gates! • Code and peripheral ‘banks’ can be built up and used across many projects over time • Legacy code is not wasted saving time and money

  22. X-by-Wire • Replacing mechanical and hydraulic systems with communications busses to control: • Throttle, Steering, Braking, traction control etc • Real-time response needed (paralleling the CPU?
