ADAS

The popularity of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in vehicles continues to grow, minimizing human error factors to make travel safer and smoother. RADAR and LiDAR-based technologies play a critical role in ADAS, enabling features such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, blind spot detection, collision warnings and more, while paving the way for fully autonomous driving.

ADAS is all about sense-analyze-act. Sensor fusion analyzes data from various sense inputs such as camera, radar, LiDAR, TOFL and ultrasound, and adds artificial intelligence functions such as deep learning capability to enable accurate environment acuity.

Stand out with SiGe

GF’s high performance SiGe BiCMOS (SiGe HP) solutions, built on 130 nm or 90 nm platforms, offer world-class performance for ADAS RADAR ICs due to the superior VCO phase noise and higher PA output power and efficiency of SiGe HBTs. The solutions are optimal for long range, ultra-high performance 77 GHz imaging RADAR and have enabled designs for multiple generations of vehicles.
