UnitedDS Semiconductor (UDS), UMC’s design affiliate, and Taiwan design house TeraSillC are shipping 24GHz radar transceiver ICs reports made on UMC’s low-power CMOS process, reports DigitTimes.

Called  Orthrus, the chips come in 1T1R (one transmitter one receiver) and 1T2R specs.

TeraSillC’s CTO S. A. You says the Orthrus radar transceiver integrates all the sub-systems required by high-performance radar system and features a built-in automatic calibration engine as well as programmable circuit system parameters. You calls it it is a multi-function software-defined radar.

UMC’s mmWave process technology covers 55nm and 40nm low-power-consumption processes.
