Toshiba’s developed technology for shortening verification times for automotive semiconductors

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba,) has developed a model-based development (MBD) simulation technology that shortens verification times for automotive by about 90 percent. The technology allows automotive equipment developers to quickly evaluate designs using Toshiba’s automotive semiconductors, helping to shorten development times.

As electric vehicles grow in popularity and advanced driver-assistance systems become standard, automotive equipment is growing increasingly advanced and complicated. Model-based development, a development methodology that uses software to simulate models and evaluate performance in real-time, is helping product developers to refine complex design processes. In the automobile industry, MBD contributes to development advances by simultaneously progressing design and verification prior to making prototypes.
