DENSO Corporation today announced that it will establish a new
company, NSITEXE, Inc., to design and develop semiconductor IP
cores(1), which are key semiconductor components enabling automated
driving.
Advanced electronic controls are key for in-vehicle environment and
safety technologies, such as ADAS and automated driving in
next-generation vehicles. When automated driving becomes the norm,
high-performance, low-power semiconductors will be required to
monitor the situation around the vehicle by processing large
amounts of data from sensors and external communications at high
speed. This data will help make decisions for automated driving
functions.
The new company will develop a next-generation processor which can
quickly and efficiently analyze large amounts of data from sensors
and external communication to determine the optimal vehicle
operation. The semiconductor IP cores optimized for in-vehicle
applications will be licensed to in-vehicle microcomputer and
SoC(2) manufacturers.
DENSO has refined in-vehicle semiconductor technologies over many
years as part of its ongoing mission to develop the advanced
technologies delivering an environmentally friendly, safe and
secure automotive society.
(1) Semiconductor IP cores: Intellectual property rights of partial
integrated circuits that make up a semiconductor
(2) SoC: A circuit which integrates multiple functions to work as a
system (system-on-a-chip)
