"Looking to integrate AI-driven solutions with its future automotive microcontrollers, Infineon Technologies has announced a collaboration with Synopsys. Next-generation AURIX microcontrollers from Infineon will support new high-performance AI accelerators, called Parallel Processing Units (PPU), that will employ Synopsys DesignWare ARC EV Processor IP. By developing the PPU together with Synopsys, Infineon is looking to enhance future AURIX microcontrollers to meet the increasing AI computational requirements. These requirements are to handle large amounts of data to be processed for applications, such as future gateways, domain and zone controllers, engine management, electro-mobility, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that operate safety features." – Vinay Piparsania
