Domain Controller for ADAS & Autonomous Driving

Overview

Safety system monitoring solutions with scalable microcontrollers complementing PMIC and safety-centric memory solutions

To enable Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) functions, modern cars are fitted with a growing number of sensors such as radar, camera, ultrasonic and lidar. However, each sensor alone has its limitations and cannot solely provide all the necessary information about the surroundings for making crucial safety decisions. By fusing data from various sensors using a domain controller, a complete model of the environment can be generated to enable ADAS and autonomous driving features.

As the number and complexity of such sensors grow with increasing levels of autonomy and ADAS functions, performance requirements multiply and highest safety and security standards are required to be met. Discover our wide portfolio of dependable products suitable for ADAS and AD domain controller applications ranging from ASIL-D microcontrollers and radar chips to power components and much more.
