Car manufacturers are increasingly seeking ways to reduce driver distraction through implementing functional safety technology in vehicles. Many Human Machine Interface (HMI) designers are turning to gesture recognition as a solution to improve driver and vehicle safety without sacrificing interior design, adding features that allow drivers to easily control everything from switching on lights to […]
Precision MEMS sensor supports accurate positioning and control for cars
STMicroelectronics has introduced the automotive-grade ASM330LHH six-axis inertial sensor for super-high-resolution motion tracking in advanced vehicle navigation and telematics applications. Serving demands for continuous, accurate vehicle location to support automated services, the ASM330LHH lets advanced dead-reckoning algorithms calculate precise position from sensor data if satellite signals are blocked. This often happens in urban canyons, tunnels, covered roadways, […]
Magnetic angle sensors show angle error of less than 1 degree across temp and lifetime
Functional safety applications in cars often require substantial system design efforts. With XENSIV TLE5014, Infineon Technologies AG now offers a new magnetic angle sensor family that is both ready for these demanding applications and at the same time easy to use. The TLE5014 sensors meet ISO26262 ASIL C for the single die and ISO26262 ASIL […]
SoC cores handle AI acceleration and DSP tasks
Today General Processor Technologies, China’s licensor of customizable processor IP cores, announced two innovative new additions to its IP portfolio: the ‘GPT’ AI accelerator and the VLVm1 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for digital and image processing. With the new cores, designers can reduce chip cost, area, and power consumption in SoCs targeting applications across autonomous vehicles and […]
Image recognition SoC integrates four 2-GHz cores
Optimum Semiconductor Technologies, Inc. announced the GP8300 image recognition SoC. The GP8300 dramatically reduces chip cost, area, and power consumption for image recognition and object detection in a broad range of products such as self-driving cars, autonomous vehicles, smart cameras and other IoT edge devices. Created in 28nm technology, the GP8300 includes four 2GHz ‘Unity’ CPU […]
Dual-core digital signal controller
System developers designing high-end embedded control applications can benefit from a new Digital Signal Controller (DSC) with two dsPIC DSC cores in a single chip, now available from Microchip Technology Inc. The dsPIC33CH has one core that is designed to function as a master while the other is designed as a slave. The slave core is useful for […]
Tunnel magnetoresistance angle sensor for vehicular use supports ASIL-D safety standard
Infineon Technologies AG is launching its first magnetic sensors based on TMR technology. This makes the company the world’s first sensor manufacturer to offer magnetic sensors based on all four magnetic technologies: HALL, GMR, AMR and TMR. Infineon will present the new XENSIV™ TLE5501 angle sensor family at the Sensor+Test 2018 fair in Nuremberg (26-28 […]
Audio bus transceivers handle multiple microphones for auto infotainment apps
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) announced today three enhanced Automotive Audio Bus (A2B®) transceivers that deliver the capability to tailor system-level performance to even the most stringent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. The new AD242x series offers configurable transmit power levels, enabling the developer to match system performance to specific OEM EMC requirements – a key design criterion […]
Connected and autonomous vehicle technology get center stage at TU-Automotive Detroit 2018
Billed as the world’s largest automotive technology expo, TU-Automotive Detroit kicked off this week in Novi, Mich. with over 150 booths and conference tracks on ADAS and autonomous vehicles, smart cities and urban mobility, connected services, and more. Automotive cybersecurity and E-mobility were among the themes we saw. Here are some of the more interesting […]
Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless IC follows DSRC/802.11p standard
u-blox announced its UBX‑P3 chip for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless communication based on the DSRC/802.11p standard. The chip builds on the success of the u-blox THEO‑P1 and VERA-P1 V2X modules, and the company’s experience as a technology supplier to the existing V2X chip industry. Developed entirely in-house, the UBX-P3 takes u‑blox’s commitment to shaping the future of […]
