New RADAR Sensor Demonstrator Includes RH850/V1R-M Microcontroller from Renesas Autonomy™ Platform and Analog Devices’ Drive360™ Advanced 28nm CMOS RADAR Technology

•  

• Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), the leading global high-performance analog technology company, and Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced today they are collaborating on a system-level 77/79-GHz RADAR sensor demonstrator to improve Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications and enable autonomous driving vehicles. The new demonstrator combines two cutting-edge technologies that include the RH850/V1R-M microcontroller (MCU) from the Renesas autonomy Platform and ADI’s Drive360 advanced 28nm CMOS RF-to-bits technology. The seamless system-level operation of these two technologies will make driving safer by enabling earlier detection of smaller and faster moving objects at greater distances. It will also lower RADAR system integration efforts and reduce evaluation risks for automotive OEMs and Tier One suppliers.

   

  “RADAR sensors play a crucial role for all ADAS or automated driving functions,” said Jean-Francois Chouteau, vice president of Renesas Global ADAS Centre. “This cooperation ideally combines the best of ADI and Renesas assets to deliver performance and enable OEMs and Tier One suppliers to reduce development cost and time to market. We are delighted to join forces with ADI, whose 28nm solution provides cutting-edge RF performance for target detection.”

   

  “Analog Devices’ collaboration with Renesas will be a key enabler for the highest performance RADAR systems,” said Chris Jacobs, general manager, ADAS & Automotive Safety, Analog Devices.  “This innovative system approach will significantly reduce risk by providing digital interoperability at the system level for our customers. The new RH850/V1R-M MCU, coupled with ADI’s high-performance Drive360 RADAR platform, will bring unparalleled performance to advanced ADAS and autonomous driving systems.”
