Five automobile manufacturers (Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Subaru and Nissan), two component manufacturers (Denso and Panasonic) and five semiconductor manufacturers
MADRID, Dec 28 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Twelve Japanese companies consisting of automobile, electrical component and semiconductor manufacturers founded ASRA (Advanced Automotive SoC Research) on December 1 with the aim of researching and developing high-performance digital semiconductors. SoC (System on Chip) for automobiles with chiplet technology.
The aim is to establish chiplet technology in cars in 2028 and to install the SoCs in series vehicles from 2030, according to a statement on Thursday.
The twelve participating companies include five automobile manufacturers (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru and Mazda), two electrical component manufacturers (Panasonic and Denso) and five other semiconductor companies (Cadence Design, Mirise Technologies, Renesas Electronics, Socionext and Synopsys). Japan).
“ASRA will achieve the high level of safety and reliability required for automobiles by allowing manufacturers to play a central role,” the statement said.
To this end, they have pooled the technological knowledge and experience of electrical components and semiconductor companies and strive to apply cutting-edge technologies through chiplet technology and the combination of different types of semiconductors.
So they have pointed out that each car requires around 1,000 semiconductors, including SoCs, which are essential for autonomous driving and multimedia systems, which require cutting-edge semiconductor technology to achieve advanced computing power.
Chiplet technology is a package that combines multiple chips into a single unit while providing technological advantages such as higher performance and multifunctionality, higher production output of chips, as well as their commercialization of SoC with functions and performance suitable for the needs of Automotive companies are optimized.
Finally, they have indicated that ASRA will work with government, industry and academia to promote national and international collaboration and become a world-leading technology research group.
