Automotive Test and Reliability

As automobiles become increasingly computerized, the safety requirement of hundreds of ICs used in a car is growing rapidly. Testing of such automotive ICs is more stringently than testing other ICs because the quality, reliability and functional safety of such ICs are extremely important as they are directly related to human lives. Many standards such as ISO 26262 are used to guide for high quality and long-term reliability driven by functional safety requirements. In this industry session, we invite 3 experts from IC design and EDA companies. They share their experiences with many case studies, and focus on different aspects of automotive testing, online monitoring, reliability and in-system functional safety.
