Rohde & Schwarz is looking forward to times when nations mandate radar testing as part of annual vehicle inspections. It has created RadEst, a radar target simulator intended to function in the tough world of vehicle workshops. As well as simulating targets, the unit can measure radar parameters such as EIRP (equivalent isotropic radiated power) and occupied bandwidth. “With an ...

Intel has announced a discrete graphics processing unit, aimed at vehicles being shipped in 2025. ‘Arc Graphics for Automotive’, or A760A, has 28 of the company’s Xe GPU cores, 28 ray tracing units, 448 matrix engines (XMX) for AI and 448 vector engines. It will be software-compatible with the GPUs integrated into its software-defined-vehicle processors, and used as an add-on ...

Lumissil Microsystems has created a pair of LED drivers that include a 32MHz 8051 microcontroller. “These new controllers enable lighting engineers to create customised dynamic LED lighting animations tailored to their system requirements,” according to the company. “They feature integrated non-volatile memory to store animation sequences and LED parameters, essential for dynamic lighting effects such as colour transitions, pulsing, fading ...

Aaeon is aiming at in-vehicle surveillance systems for busses and law-enforcement with a PC built around Nvidia’s Jetson Orin NX artificial intelligence processor and equipped with eight power-over-Ethernet ports. Called Boxer-8658AI, there are two versions: one with a hex-core Cortex-A78AE v8.2 64bit CPU and 8Gbyte of LPDDR5 memory, and the other with 16Gbyte and an octa-core processor. “For in-vehicle or ...

Arrow Electronics has developed an ISO 15118 vehicle-to-grid data communication evaluation module. “The software, developed at Arrow’s engineering centre in Gdansk, contains protocol stacks for ISO 15118 V2G. There is also sample application code, as well as support for OCCP [Open Charge-Point Protocol] and Control Pilot interfaces as defined in IEC 61851 and SAE J1772,” said the company. ” V2G ...

Renesas and partners have collected together hardware, operating systems, software and design tools needed to develop the electronics in a software-defined vehicle. Branded ‘R-Car Open Access’ and ‘RoX’, with it “engineers can start building their software using an integrated tool chain even before the hardware is available”, according to Renesas. “This is made possible through the cloud environment and the ...

Micronas had created a pair of automotive-rated Hall effect magnetic angle sensors that work up to 150,000rpm. “Developers have the choice between two sensor models – HAL 3020 and HAL 3021 – for fast angle determination, with which they can meet the need for robust motor position detection and ISO 26262-compliant development. The components have differential or single-ended sine and ...

Infineon is aiming at 48V automotive applications with AUCN08S7N013, an 80V mosfet in a 5 x 6mm SSO8 that has a maximum on-resistance of 1.3mΩ at 25°C (Tj, 10Vgs, 88A Id). “48V applications including electric power steering, braking systems, power switches in zone architectures, battery management, e-fuse boxes, dc-dc and brushless dc motor drives,” it said. The mosfet is several ...

Ambarella has announced a pair of 5nm AI camera processors for  in-vehicle fleet telematics. “CV75AX provides up to 2x the AI performance over Ambarella’s prior-generation SoC, enabling the latest transformer neural networks for improved accuracy and reduced false positives without having to train for every object. [It] also provides the AI horsepower for more complex driver-scoring models,” according to the ...

Infineon has had its forthcoming TC4x automotive microcontrollers cleared for safe AI processing by the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems (IKS). “Embedded AI is becoming increasingly important for safety-critical real-time applications,” said Infineon. “However, this also creates new requirements and standards that must be considered during the complete product lifecycle.” The TC4x family includes ‘PPU’ (parallel processing unit), an AI-accelerator ...
