GOWIN’s progress in global automotive market gathers momentum with award of ISO 26262 certification for its FPGA design environment
30 Abril 2024 - 9:38AM
GOWIN Semiconductor Corporation, the world's fastest-growing FPGA
manufacturer, today announced that its GOWIN EDA FPGA design
environment has been certified compliant with the ISO 26262 and IEC
61508 functional safety standards by the TUV testing laboratory.
Certification of the FPGA design tool provides strong assurance
to automotive OEMs that module designs featuring a GOWIN Arora-V
(mid-density), Arora-II (low-/mid-density) or LittleBee
(low-density) FPGA can meet the requirements for system-level
functional safety specified in the ISO 26262 and IEC 61508
standards.
The award of functional safety certification is expected to
spark a new wave of interest in GOWIN’s FPGAs, which are available
in versions qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2, with qualification to
AEC-Q100 Grade 1 pending. Existing quality and reliability
certificates applicable to the GOWIN product range include
IATF16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO/IEC 17025.
Thanks to a superior feature set – including a wider range of
high-speed video, display and graphics interfaces than other FPGAs
in the same segment of the market – and a strong reliability record
for devices fabricated on TSMC’s 22nm LP process, GOWIN FPGAs are
already used in vehicles for applications such as:
- Video bridging and local display dimming in infotainment
systems
- Image signal processing of camera outputs in advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS)
- USB audio interfacing
- Display monitoring and safety back-up in the instrument
cluster
GOWIN’s CEO Jason Zhu said: “GOWIN is attracting growing
interest in the automotive industry because of its innovations in
FPGA design in the low- and mid-density segments. Notably, we
uniquely provide hardcore MIPI interfaces in FPGAs alongside DDR3
memory and high-speed LVDS and PCIe interfaces.
“With the award of functional safety certification for our
popular GOWIN EDA development environment, we are confident in our
ability to make further inroads into the automotive markets in
Europe, North America and Asia.”
The GOWIN EDA FPGA design environment includes an FPGA design
tool, IP cores and reference designs. The FPGA design tool supports
the SystemVerilog, Verilog and VHDL programming languages. There
