Mentor, a Siemens business, today announced that its Tessent software Safety ecosystem helped artificial intelligence (AI) vision silicon company Ambarella Inc. successfully meet in-system test requirements and achieve ISO26262 automotive safety integrity level (ASIL) goals for its CV22FS and CV2FS automotive camera system-on-chips (SoCs).

“Design-for-Test (DFT) is a critical element of integrated circuit (IC) design, especially for cutting-edge AI devices targeting safety-critical automotive applications,” said Praveen Jaini, director of VLSI for Ambarella. “Mentor’s Tessent Safety ecosystem offered us a vast array of powerful, time-saving features that helped us to achieve our design goals quickly, with cost-efficiency and with the reliability that our customers have come to expect. Because Mentor’s Tessent ecosystem is highly scalable, it provides optimal flexibility for developing alternative designs and next-generation devices.”

“The prospect of near-term automated driving presents the semiconductor industry with tremendous opportunity, while presenting a host of new technology challenges,” said Brady Benware, vice president and general manager for the Tessent product family at Mentor, a Siemens business. “The Tessent Safety ecosystem helps our customers tackle and overcome these challenges with a scalable DFT architecture specifically engineered to address the intense time, cost and quality requirements associated with autonomous vehicle IC design.”
