Renesas Develops SoC Technologies for Automotive Multi-Domain <span style='color:red'>ECU</span>s Essential for the SDV Era
  Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, has developed three System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies for automotive multi-domain electronic control units (ECUs). They feature advanced AI processing capabilities and chiplet functions, serving as the core technology platform for next-generation automotive electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures. Renesas presented the results at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference 2026 (ISSCC 2026), held February 15–19 in San Francisco, USA.  In the age of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), automotive SoCs require advanced performance to run multiple applications simultaneously and must offer scalability through chiplets. They must also meet the functional safety requirements of automotive SoCs. As multi-domain SoCs powering central computing are growing larger and more complex, maintaining automotive-grade quality is becoming more difficult. With increased performance in advanced SoCs, power consumption also rises, making improvements in power efficiency and safety vital. To meet these needs, Renesas has developed the following new technologies.  1. Chiplet architecture that supports functional safety  To meet the functional safety requirements of automotive SoCs, Renesas has developed a new, proprietary architecture that supports ASIL D even in a chiplet configuration. By combining the standard die-to-die UCIe interface with a proprietary RegionID mechanism, the architecture prevents interference with hardware resources, even when numerous applications run simultaneously, thereby achieving Freedom from Interference (FFI).  Conventional UCIe interfaces lack functionality to transmit RegionIDs between dies. Renesas developed a method for mapping RegionIDs into physical address space, encoding them into the UCIe region, and transmitting them. This enables safe access control through the memory management unit (MMU) and real-time cores, and meets functional safety requirements across chiplets. Additionally, by maintaining bandwidth from processors to the memory bus, the UCIe interface was confirmed through testing to achieve a high transmission speed of 51.2 GB/s, approaching the upper limit of intra-SoC transfer speeds. This technology provides both scalability and safety for high-performance automotive SoCs.  2. Advanced AI processing capabilities and automotive-grade quality  Automotive-grade quality is vital for SDV systems. Renesas has created a 3 nm SoC design that improves the performance of neural processing units (NPUs) for AI processing, while maintaining automotive-grade quality. In recent years, NPUs have been growing larger, with their area expanding 1.5-fold compared to previous generations. This has led to increased clock latency between shared clock sources and individual circuits. To address this problem, Renesas has redesigned the clock architecture by splitting up clock pulse generators (CPGs), which in past designs were module-level units, and placing mini-CPGs (mCPGs) at the sub-module level. This greatly reduces clock latency and meets timing requirements.  However, multi-layer mCPGs complicate test clock synchronization, which is critical for achieving zero defects in automotive applications. Renesas has integrated test circuits into the hierarchical CPG architecture and unified the signal path for user clocks and test clocks. The new design also synchronizes upper- and lower-level mCPGs under a single clock source in test mode. This makes unified phase adjustment possible. As a result, Renesas has been able to achieve quality aligned with zero-defect expectations, even for large-scale SoCs, providing the high reliability required for next-generation SDV automotive SoCs.  3. Advanced power control and monitoring for improved power efficiency and safety  To achieve the high level of performance required for automotive SoCs with improved power efficiency and safety, Renesas has developed advanced power gating technology that uses over 90 power domains. It enables precise power control, from several milliwatts to several tens of watts, depending on operating conditions. Furthermore, Renesas has split power switches (PSWs) into ring PSWs and row PSWs to reduce IR drops (voltage drops) associated with increasing current density from smaller process geometries. When power is turned on, the ring PSW suppresses rush currents. Then the row PSW equalizes impedance within the domain. Together, these reduce IR drops by roughly 13% compared with conventional designs.  To meet ASIL D functional safety standards, the dual core lock step (DCLS) configuration controls the master and checker cores with independent power switches and controllers. With this design, even if one side fails, the failure can be detected through lockstep operation. Furthermore, loopback monitoring is performed for each PSW's gate signal, so OFF states are detected when a failure occurs. A digital voltage meter (DVMON), which is highly resistant to temperature drift, is used for voltage monitoring. This improves aging tolerance by 1.4 mV. These technologies enable high-performance automotive SoCs that offer both power efficiency and safety.  These new technologies are being used in Renesas' R-Car X5H SoC for automotive multi-domain ECUs. With R-Car X5H, users can accelerate the evolution of SDVs while ensuring safety and enabling autonomous driving, digital cockpit and more.

[News] Samsung Fails to Secure Qualcomm’s 3nm Orders for the Coming Year, Dual Foundry Strategy Postponed
  According to TechNews’ report, TSMC and Samsung fiercely compete in the semiconductor foundry sector. Earlier market reports suggested that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 mobile processor might adopt a dual-foundry strategy with TSMC and Samsung manufacturing simultaneously.  However, according to the latest industry information, due to Samsung’s conservative expansion plan for next year’s 3nm production capacity and unstable yields, Qualcomm has officially canceled the plan to utilize Samsung for next year’s processors. The dual-sourcing model is now postponed until 2025.  Samsung began mass production of its first-generation 3nm GAA (SF3E) process at the end of June last year, marking Samsung’s initial use of the innovative GAA architecture for transistor technology. The second-generation 3nm process, 3GAP (SF3), will utilize the second-generation MBCFET architecture, optimizing it based on the foundation of the first-generation 3nm SF3E. It is expected to enter mass production in 2024.  The dual-foundry strategy for Qualcomm was initially leaked by the reputable source Revegnus via the X platform (formerly Twitter). It was mentioned that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor would adopt TSMC’s 3nm (N3E) process, while Samsung’s 3GAP process would be used for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 supplying Samsung’s Galaxy series smartphones. Other sources suggested that due to limited capacity at TSMC’s 3nm production, Qualcomm had to seek Samsung as an alternative chip foundry.  As a result, Qualcomm originally anticipated dual-foundry production with both TSMC and Samsung in 2024, with hopes of being the first customer for the 3GAP process. However, considering Samsung’s conservative 3nm production capacity plan for next year and the instability in yields, Qualcomm decided to scrap the plan and exclusively rely on TSMC, pushing the dual-foundry strategy to 2025.  Currently, TSMC’s 3nm process technology capacity is on the rise, with expectations that by the end of 2024, monthly production capacity will reach 100,000 wafers, and the revenue contribution will increase from the current 5% to 10%.
