Cadence: automotive electronics redefined
Cadence introduces its latest automotive solutions
C ADAS: Full HD 360° surround view
adence introduces an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) rapid-prototyping platform developed jointly with various partners that runs on a high-performance SoC with 14 processor kernels including four Tensilica Vision P6 DSPs. Based on this platform, various ADAS applications will show how to process signals from multiple cameras in real time. For example, four full HD video streams are processed and warped together to generate a 360° surround view picture in full HD. A second demo shows a CNN-based pedestrian detection running on an ADAS reference board.
FPGA prototyping: Automotive pedestrian recognition on Cadence Protium S1
Pedestrian detection is an essential function in today’s advanced, automotive driver-assistance systems. The intense verification requirements of these systems, combined with the ever- increasing time-to-market and competitive
Keeping machines running F
ew things are as irritating (or as expensive) as unplanned downtimes in plants and machines. The Murrelektronik UPS module
Emparro ACCUcontrol extends the high- performance Emparro power supply system and keeps machines running by switching smoothly to battery operation in the event of a mains power failure. The investment in a UPS system frequently pays for itself the first time downtime is avoided. External lead batteries with a capacity of up to 40 Ah are connected to the UPS module to ensure prolonged outages. Depending on the application, 20 A or a 40 A versions are available. The module can be installed without tools, and the 20 A version takes up an
extremely small amount of space in the cabinet, with a width of only 65 millimeters.
Predictive maintenance – be alerted before the failure Emparro ACCUcontrol continuously monitors the internal resistance of the connected batteries. When a limit is exceeded, the device sends a warning over a signaling contact. The battery replacement can then be planned for the next scheduled service. This predictive information prevents unplanned downtimes and avoids the need to arrange for service visits at short notice.
Maximum lifetime Batteries like low temperatures. They supply more power and last longer under such conditions. Emparro ACCUcontrol therefore offers temperature-guided battery charging. This feature adapts the end-of-charge voltage to the ambient temperature, helping ensure that the battery achieves its maximum service life, even at higher ambient temperatures.
Simple connection to IPCs Emparro ACCUcontrol can be easily connected to an industrial PC via Mini-USB. • The industrial PC can then be shut down in a controlled manner in the event of a power outage. • The mains voltage and the charging status of the battery can be monitored in real-time. • Operating statuses can be documented in a log.

• The operating parameters are easy to configure.
UPS module or capacity-based buffer module?
Manuel Senk, business development manager, Murrelektronik, says: “The UPS Emparro ACCUcontrol module is the right solution when it comes to bridging a prolonged power failure and avoiding failures and downtime in production. Externally connected lead batteries can supply backup power for an hour or more. On the other hand, the buffer module Emparro Cap operates using ultracapacitors, it requires no maintenance at any time and it is the right solution in cases when sufficient power has to be available for shutting down machines and PLCs in an organised manner.” Murreletronik’s Emparro ACCUcontrol is now available for purchase in the online shop

pressure, calls for new ways for product validation and hardware/software integration. With its fast time-to-prototype and innovative ASIC-to-FPGA migration capabilities, Cadence Protium S1 FPGA-based prototyping platform plays an integral and key role in getting these systems verified and working correctly the first time. The pedestrian recognition reference design runs a human form recognition algorithm on a live video stream and visualises the result for further processing, all on the Protium S1 FPGA- based prototype system. This makes it the ideal environment for early, pre-silicon HW/SW validation and proof-of-concept demonstration.
ECU PCB design: Sigrity Ethernet compliance testing
The demo shows how to design and verify automotive Ethernet serial links using the Sigrity serial link analysis methodology. Simulating and verifying your designs and to meet compliance
standards before sending them to the lab will reduce design re-spins and saves significant time and money.
Sigrity ESD simulation for Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
Sigrity SPEED2000 is used to simulate an ESD event on a printed circuit board using an ESD gun model. Learn how passive components such as transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes can protect your design from an ESD event without overdesigning the protection scheme. By utilising the ESD simulation workflow early in the design cycle, the cost-effective prototype can be send to the lab with confidence and helps avoiding time consuming lab debug and re-design because of unveiled ESD issues.
