Driving ASIL-grade innovation: Optimizing motor control performance and safety with Codasip and IAR

Automotive safety

Modern motor control algorithms—particularly those employing Field-Oriented Control (FOC) with DQ0 transformations—demand precision, deterministic behavior, and rapid execution. These requirements are even more critical for electric and hybrid vehicles, where every watt-hour saved directly improves range and performance. Furthermore, the demands of functional safety of motor control units must be addressed where safety goals are […]

Electric motors are at the core of many automotive innovations; from high-efficiency powertrain and steer-by-wire systems to regenerative braking and active suspension. Whilst standard RISC-V embedded cores provide general baseline capabilities, performance, power, and cost can be optimized by adding dedicated custom instructions. In this blog, we introduce the new Codasip L150: a 3-stage, 32-bit […]

Design and implementation of a hardened cryptographic coprocessor for a RISC-V 128-bit core

System level coprocessor

Cryptography is a way of encoding and decoding information to guarantee its confidentiality and protection from unauthorised individuals. Within the realm of digital security and cryptographic algorithms, digital signatures play a critical role in establishing trust. Analogous to a physical signature, digital signatures leverage cryptographic algorithms to generate a unique mathematical fingerprint linked to the […]
