SANEI HYTECHS leverages our experience and track record to propose the best solutions to meet our customers' needs.

Integrated Design

We have a wealth of experience ranging from application layer development to hardware layer development.

Application Layer Artificial Intelligence (AI), Motor Control
BSW/RTE Driver, AUTOSAR MCAL Development
Hardware Layer LSI/Semiconductor Design, FPGA Design, Board Design
We have expertise in both model-based and non-model-based development methods. We will propose solutions based on our consistent approach to meet our customers' needs, whether it's for a specific layer/component, or for cases that require a combination of multiple layers or development methods.

Model-Based Development

In the automotive industry, there is a strong demand for increased design efficiency due to factors such as the growth in software scale and the need to shorten delivery times. As a result, there is a growing need for model-based development. To meet this demand, we have introduced model-based development and is striving to achieve both high quality and productivity.
We implements this approach by gradually replacing parts of the model with physical components and comparing the results of each stage using MILS/SILS/HILS. We are working on model-based development using MATLAB/Simulink from Mathworks and prototyping units from dSPACE.

AUTOSAR MCAL Development

We provide MCAL development services tailored to your needs. We can accommodate your requirements for expanding or reducing the functionality and configuration of MCAL, as well as comply with the AUTOSAR specification.
In addition, we are capable of developing MCAL using a process based on Automotive SPICE to comply with the functional safety standard ISO26262. Based on our past experience and achievements, we provide customers with consistent services from the design process to the verification process in the development process for automotive applications.

Approach to Functional Safety

We have approximately 20 certified engineers, as of July 2020, who have completed ISO 26262 training by DNV GL and obtained the following certifications:

  • Automotive Functional Safety Practitioner Basic (AFSP-B)
  • Automotive Functional Safety Practitioner Competent (Software)(AFSP-C(SW))
For customers who request ISO 26262 compliant processes for functional safety, our team consisting of certified engineers from our company, under the supervision of the customer's safety manager, will provide support.

RH850 and Various Microcontrollers

Hardware Layer BSW (Basic Software) Layer
Through our long-standing business relationship with Renesas Electronics Corporation, we have accumulated extensive knowledge regarding driver/AUTOSAR MCAL development for the RH850. We also have numerous in-house development achievements for other microcontrollers.

FPGA/GPU/Raspberry Pi/Arduino/RISC-V

Hardware Layer

We can implement on various platforms according to your needs, not only RH850 and various microcontrollers. Drawing on our expertise in LSI/semiconductor design, we offer flexible functionality leveraging the features of FPGA, in particular.

Development Achievements

Electric drive system

Automotive technology has shifted from primarily internal combustion engines to motor-driven systems. Following this trend, our company is focusing on the design and development of electric drive systems.
We have a long-standing track record in software development that considers quality for ECU products, especially in the development of MCAL. We have collaborated closely with microcontroller manufacturers in this area, and consider it one of our strengths.
In recent years, we have accumulated a wealth of experience in Model-Based Development (MBD) in addition to software development using traditional methods, and have also achieved many successes in the hardware domain.
Furthermore, we have a proven track record in LSI/semiconductor design for many areas, such as gate drivers for power circuits, inverter circuits for motor control, and analog front-end circuits (sensor AFE) for processing signals from rotation sensors and current sensors for motors.
In this way, our strength lies in being able to undertake the total design of LSI/semiconductor for electric drive systems, centered around analog circuit design.
