Automotive headlamp technology is rapidly changing. LEDs are used increasingly in automotive lighting applications to enable creative design elements, improve system efficiency and enable advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features. Car makers and lighting tier 1s are looking for flexible and scalable solutions that can quickly enable ADAS functionality across multiple car platforms to increase re-use and reduce development time and cost. NXP has released a state of the art Multichannel LED driver portfolio to address these emerging advanced lighting applications. The LED drivers provide all the necessary functionality to ensure a compact, low-cost and flexible design for advanced LED headlights. In this session learn how our LED drivers address the key trends and current and future requirements for advanced LED headlights. See the demo for your self! Watch Video Presentation

Introducing a new Brushed DC motor driver product family designed for automotive engine control applications. It will be the first motor driver fully certified to ISO26262 to support ASIL level D system qualification and features a patented thermal management scheme to ensure high, efficient operation. The key aspects of thermal power dissipation during heavy load conditions will be reviewed. The session will also include a demonstration with the new brushed dc motor driver and SPI GEN software, showing its integrated protection features. The participants will be able to see how current averaging will maintain higher torque during over-load and all the safety features that can be reported over the SPI.

The need to ensure electrical power availability is increasing. Batteries are spreading into automotive, electrical storage systems and uninterruptible power supplies. This session will present the benefits of NXP Battery Management Solutions for multiple battery architectures. Watch Video Presentation

The two big topics in automotive electronics development in the last five years has been functional safety and security. Sometimes these terms are used synonymously, sometimes completely separately. This thought provoking presentation will explore where the two topics overlap, where they result in contradictory requirements, and indeed whether they are complementary. Watch Video Presentation

With the very public hacks of some major vehicle brands in 2015, there is a renewed focus on vehicle security. There is a large range of vehicle electrical architectures, with significant regional variations, but there is an acceleration towards a domain orientated secure network. This presentation will look at the growing importance of the central gateway in a world of increased connectivity and security. As Ethernet becomes more prevalent, the topic of IP routing & firewall will be introduced and its role in adding another security layer. Finally, the role of the central gateway in enabling OTA software updated beyond the telematics unit, to the entire network will be presented.

This presentation will describe the updates to Crypto Services Engine (CSE) made by NXP, where are they used and how to protect your application. NXP was the first semiconductor vendor to offer a Secure Hardware Extension (SHE) compliant security module on its automotive microcontrollers, the CSE. Since the introduction of the CSE, there have been many enhancements, and extensions of its capability, we will cover additional use cases and device configurations. Watch Video Presentation

This presentation will look at the lessons learned from vehicle hacks and introduce a whole vehicle multi-layered approach to automotive security. In 2015, automotive security was rarely far from the headlines of technical and public media, with a number of very public hacks of some major vehicle brands. The result was a renewed focus on vehicle security. There will be an introduction to the NXP portfolio of automotive products from microcontrollers, secure transceivers and secure elements and how they all fit together to offer a complete security solution for connected vehicles today and tomorrow.

This presentation will cover the Hardware Security Module (HSM) and how to use the software kits NXP offers, the HSM Security Firmware and HSM Software Development Kit. We will also cover other security features of the device offered by modules like PASS or TDM and their configuration. Watch Video Presentation

Automotive applications based on modern processor technology require more complex hardware design than traditional microcontroller solutions: volatile and non-volatile memories are provided external to the device and multiple power supplies are required. This session provides a guide to developing a hardware platform using the S32V234 processor as an example. Topics covered include: power supply design considerations, memory layout and technology, camera and display connectivity, fast interface technology and serial bus physical interfaces.

This session introduces the standard and low cost development boards for the S32V234 automotive vision processor. The session includes an overview of the features of the processor and the platform with development hands-on exercises for the processor using a Linux platform and vision software development kit.

This session will cover the different vision processing capabilities of the S32V234 automotive vision processor with a focus on the Image Sensor Processor (ISP). The presentation will demonstrate how the cost of a vision system can be cut down by using the ISP to accept raw camera input data and to process it using algorithms like debayering, white balancing, format conversion, HDR and de-noising. The aim of the session is to give an introduction to camera processing, to present the architecture of the ISP and to demonstrate how it can be programmed using a visual tool developed by NXP.

There is an increasing number of high/ultra high speed drives required by the industry. The theory offers the rules how to drive fast motors, however not all them are easily applicable in the real word. The significant issue is that the rules requires a pretty powerful device to be enough fast to control fast motors. The presentation offers the comparison of the theory with the experiences out of the customer project targeting the high speed motors controlled by a less powerful devices, where the less powerful controller is a pretty challenge within the overall task.

This hands-on workshop will help you get started with our latest MAC57D5xx processor for instrument cluster and human machine interfaces together with the recent release of MQX. Practical use cases will be demonstrated and exercised during this hands-on workshop session.

As more and more individuals acquire automobiles and city populations increase, road way congestion worsens year-by-year. Traffic Congestion results in billions of dollars in lost productivity: individuals are confined to hours upon hours of menial vehicle operation in stop-go conditions. Solution: Advances in NXP's ADAS Radar, Vision, and V2X technologies can alleviate congestion and regain lost productivity - 1) reducing personal stress, 2) improving commuter productivity, and 3) reducing traffic accidents. The session will show how controlling driver response variance, (e.g. making acceleration, deceleration, and minimum safe driving distance constant), relieves congestion jamming conditions. The session concludes with a mapping of ADAS DSRC features to NXP devices. Watch Video Presentation
