The Automotive Advanced SoC Research was established with 12 companies led by automakers

Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-01-31

On December 1, 12 automotive, electrical component, and semiconductor companies established the Automotive Advanced SoC Research (ASRA) to conduct research and development of high-performance digital semiconductors (system-on-chip, SoC) for automobiles. ASRA will research and develop automotive SoCs using chiplet technology from 2030 to install SoCs in production vehicles.

Car Manufacturer:

Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Mazda Motor Co., Ltd., Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Subaru Co., Ltd., etc

Toyota Motor Corporation.

Manufacturer of electrical components:

denso corporation, panasonic automotive systems co.,ltd.

Semiconductor companies:

Cadence Design Systems, Japan, Mirise Technologies Corporation, Renesas Electronics, Socionext Inc,synopsys japan

About 1,000 semiconductors are used per car, and the types vary depending on the application. Among them, SOC is an indispensable semiconductor for autonomous driving technology and automotive multi-** systems, which requires the most advanced semiconductor technology to achieve advanced computing power.

ASRA will pursue the high level of safety and reliability required for automobiles by enabling automakers to play a central role. In addition, by pooling the technology and know-how of electrical components and semiconductor companies, ASRA will work on the practical application of cutting-edge technologies. Specifically, ASRA plans to research and develop SoCs for automobiles using chiplet technology and combining different semiconductor types.

1) Higher performance and versatility.

(2) Higher yield.

Chips (3) Timely commercialization of function- and performance-optimized SoCs as per the requirements of the end-user (automotive company).

ASRA aims to establish in-vehicle chip technology by 2028 and install SoCs in production vehicles from 2030. ASRA will combine Japan's technological capabilities and experience in automobiles, electrical components, and semiconductors to promote domestic and foreign cooperation as a world-leading technology research group in collaboration with industry, academia, and academia.
