Domain Controller for ADAS & Automated Driving

In order to enable Advanced Driver Assist (ADAS) and Automated Driving (AD) features, cars today are fitted with a growing number of sensors such as radar, camera, ultrasonic and lidar. However, each sensor alone has its limitations and cannot provide solely the full information necessary about the vehicle surroundings needed for making safety decisions for the vehicle. By fusing the data from various sensors, a complete model of the environment can be generated to enable ADAS & automated driving features.

As the number & complexity of such sensors grow with increasing levels of autonomy and ADAS features, performance needs multiply and highest levels of safety and security standards are required to be met. This is where Infineon brings its wide portfolio of dependable products ranging from ASIL-D microcontrollers, radar chips, power components and many more, to enable high safety, security & performance that enable realization of these features.

Infineon offers you a broad portfolio of high-performance semiconductor solutions for sensor fusion applications. Discover, for example, the AURIX™ domain controller for autonomous driving that

• Creates a comprehensive environmental model by fusing various sensors in and around the car
• Computes the best driving strategy for maximum driver safety and convenience
• Makes decisions and triggers actuators in the car

Designed to meet the highest safety and security standards, the AURIX™ microcontroller family provides the robust performance for safety-critical autonomous driving applications. Moreover, AURIX™ forms a safe and secure hub to support strategic decisions and communicate with the actuator systems within the car. Whatever enhanced ADAS function you design, you are certain to find the right semiconductor solution from Infineon.

• Enables the sensor data fusion of several environmental sensors such as radar, camera, ultrasonic and lidar
• Enhanced ADAS functions, such as cross traffic assist and autonomous obstacle avoidance, require the data from more than one sensor and the corresponding sensor fusion
• Since the system can make critical, autonomous decisions, safety and security implementation is a must and is supported by Infineon’s high-performance AURIX™ microcontroller
• AURIX™ combined with the TLF35584 safety power supply and a dedicated processor enables new and enhanced ADAS features
