Lidar demonstration boards drive 220A current lasers
Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) has announced the availability of theEPC9150, a 200V, high current, pulsed-laser diode driver demonstration board. In a lidar system, used to create 3-D maps for autonomous vehicle applications, speed and accuracy of object detection is critical.
Terran360 radar-based localisation system launched
Oxbotica and Navtech have launched Terran360, an all-weather radar localisation solution for industrial autonomous vehicles, with technology typically accurate to <10cm on any vehicle, in any environment.
Software language accelerates developments in AI, medicine and robotics
The fight against the Coronavirus does not only take place in medical laboratories, but also in computing. Handling the huge amounts of data for vaccine development requires advanced tools: 'Julia', a relatively new software language, has surged in popularity. It delivers comparable speed and functionality to programming in C while also allowing scientific and numerical computing.
Versal AI Edge series extended with performance-per-watt
Xilinx has introduced the Versal AI Edge series, designed to enable AI innovation from the edge to the endpoint. With four times the AI performance-per-watt versus GPUs and ten times greater compute density versus previous-generation adaptive SoCs, the Versal AI Edge series is a scalable and adaptable portfolio for next-generation distributed intelligent systems.
LiDAR systems based on integrated optical phased arrays
Taking a critical step toward developing LiDAR systems for widespread commercial applications, CEA-Leti has developed genetic algorithms to calibrate high-channel-count optical phased arrays (OPAs), as well as an advanced measurement setup enabling wafer-scale OPA characterisation.
65V eGaN FET enables higher resolution for lidar systems
EPC has announced AEC Q101 qualification of the 65VEPC2219designed for lidar systems in the automotive industry and other harsh environments.
iC-Haus plans laser driver webinar
After a successful launch in March, iC-Haus is now continuing its webinar series. On May 18, 09:30-10:00 AM (CET), a webinar with Uwe Malzahn will be held on the topic: “Taking Time of Flight (ToF) Measuring to a New Level with Ultra Short Laser Pulses”.
GaN Systems accelerates customer growth momentum
GaN Systems has announced accelerated momentum and customer growth signaling mainstream adoption of GaN technology to meet rapid growth of data and energy demands across key industries.
L2+ and HD Radar: A Golden Opportunity
We’re still waiting for full autonomy in cars, but now realise that’s much further out than we originally thought. The automotive value chain was already ahead of us and is now well into plan B - a very active push from SAE level 2, conventional ADAS, to something now being called L2+. L2+ is a little short of L3 in that redundancy continues to depend on the human driver and will require strong driver monitoring systems.
Season 3 - Episode #4 - The ISO26262 Digital Conference
With the ever growing importance of functional safety in automotive silicon, the ISO26262 standard has never been more important. However, it still doesn’t have the cross industry understanding it should have to keep automotive compute moving forward.
