NXP has released a new one-chip family that enables 4D sensing for radar systems used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The chips will be used in applications such as automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert and automated parking. The chips offer OEMs increased flexibility in meeting expanding safety requirements and the proliferation of radar sensors, which are expected to be used in larger numbers in future vehicles.
When paired with power management and connectivity solutions from NXP, the system offers a wide range of options for OEMs. Developers can also benefit from the scalability and design reuse capabilities of the S32R family.
The chips are built on NXP’s proven RFCMOS technology, which was the first to be used in high volume production for automotive radar and has already shipped millions of units. The highly integrated 77 GHz radar smart transceiver chip includes four high-performance transmitters, four receivers, a multi-core radar processor with hardware accelerator, Gigabit Ethernet communication interface and memory. It has been designed to meet Automotive Safety Integrity Level B requirements and automotive cybersecurity standards. —
