Socionext, an innovative custom SoCs provider, is showcasing its leading-edge technologies and products at CES 2024 this week in Las Vegas, United States. At their booth 9971 in the Smart Cities, IoT, and Sustainability Zone in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, Socionext is featuring the following:
Low Power 60GHz Radar Sensor Solutions
The automotive-grade SC1260 series 60GHz RF CMOS sensor, which was nominated for awards at the Sensors Converge Show in Santa Clara in June 2023, can support multiple in-cabin use cases, including seat occupancy monitoring, child presence detection, and theft prevention. The SC1240 series RF sensor for consumer applications allows users to easily enable multiple–person detection, gesture detection, and other high-precision sensing. Socionext's highly integrated CMOS radar transceivers incorporate antennae-in-package and an embedded signal processing unit for distance, angle, and presence detection in a small form factor package without requiring radio frequency or advanced signal processing design skills.
Custom SoCs
With extensive experience in custom SoC development, Socionext established a distinctive Solution SoC business model that provides SoCs that are both customized and fully optimized to our customer's needs. The company offers the optimal combination of IPs, design expertise, software development, and support to implement large-scale SoCs to meet the most demanding and rigorous performance requirements in automotive, data center, and smart device applications.
With the Solution SoC model, Socionext delivers products and support that enable applications in the automotive segment, such as ADAS sensors, central computing, networking, in-cabin monitoring, satellite connectivity, and infotainment. In the data center segment, they enable high-performance computing, storage, and networking applications. In the consumer space, they allow a range of smart devices, from earbuds to smart speakers and smart glasses to AR/VR headsets.
Smart Display Controller for Automotive
The Socionext's SC172x is a highly integrated, ASIL-B conformant graphics display controller featuring built-in mechanisms to ensure safety-critical content is delivered in compliance with the standards required by today's automotive display applications.
SoCs for Smart Devices
Socionext's Solution SoC model enables high-performance SoC for video applications that feature a best-in-class image signal processor with built-in low-light support, coupled with an AI acceleration engine and a high level of system integration. Built using an advanced, low-power manufacturing process, the 8K processor can be customized through silicon, packaging, and software suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Creating a proprietary chip requires a complex, highly structured framework with a complete support system to address each phase of the development process. Socionext's "Solution SoC" business model embodies the company's deep understanding of SoC architectures and technologies - including IP, EDA tools, packaging, quality control and manufacturing – as well as its ecosystem of suppliers that lets customers develop feature-rich custom SoCs while maintaining ownership of key differentiating technologies that can deliver significant competitive advantage. With extensive experience in custom SoC development, Socionext uses state-of-the-art process technologies to produce SoCs optimized for customer requirements.
