Analog Devices and Renesas Electronics have announced that they are collaborating on a system-level 77/79-GHz RADAR sensor demonstrator to improve Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications and enable autonomous driving vehicles. The new demonstrator combines two cutting-edge technologies that include the RH850/V1R-M microcontroller (MCU) from the Renesas autonomy Platform and ADI’s Drive360 advanced 28 nm CMOS RF-to-bits technology. The seamless system-level operation of these two technologies will make driving safer by enabling earlier detection of smaller and faster moving objects at greater distances. It will also lower RADAR system integration efforts and reduce evaluation risks for automotive OEMs and Tier One suppliers.
Analog Devices Drive360 28 nm CMOS Radar technology platform builds on the company’s established ADAS, MEMS, and RADAR technology portfolio widely used throughout the automotive industry for the past 20 years. Drive360 is already revolutionizing sensor performance for ADAS applications with the world’s first automotive RADAR technology based on advanced 28 nm CMOS with unparalleled RF performance for target identification and classification. ADI’s high-performance RADAR solution enables earlier detection of smaller and faster moving objects. High output power enables greater range and identification of smaller objects, while lowest phase noise enables best unambiguous detection of smaller objects in the presence of large objects.
