SANTA<\/span> CLARA<\/span>, Calif., Jan. 19, 2023 (GLOBE<\/span> NEWSWIRE<\/span>) \u2014 AMD<\/span><\/a> (NASDAQ<\/span>: AMD<\/span>) today announ\u00adced that its adap\u00adti\u00adve com\u00adpu\u00adting tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy is powe\u00adring lea\u00adding mobi\u00adli\u00adty sup\u00adpli\u00ader DENSO<\/span> Corporation\u2019s next-gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon LiDAR plat\u00adform. The new plat\u00adform will enable over 20X<\/span>1<\/sup> impro\u00adve\u00adment in reso\u00adlu\u00adti\u00adon with extre\u00adme\u00adly low laten\u00adcy for increased pre\u00adcis\u00adi\u00adon in detec\u00adting pede\u00adstri\u00adans, vehic\u00adles, free space and more. The DENSO<\/span> LiDAR plat\u00adform, tar\u00adge\u00adted to begin ship\u00adping in 2025, will levera\u00adge the AMD<\/span> Xilinx Auto\u00admo\u00adti\u00adve (XA<\/span>) Zynq\u2122 UltraS\u00adca\u00adle+\u2122 adap\u00adti\u00adve SoC and its func\u00adtion\u00adal safe\u00adty suite of deve\u00adlo\u00adper tools to enable ISO<\/span> 26262 ASIL<\/span>\u2011B certification.<\/p>\n

DENSO<\/span> is using the AMD<\/span> XA<\/span> Zynq UltraS\u00adca\u00adle+ mul\u00adti-pro\u00adces\u00adsor sys\u00adtem-on-a-chip (MPSoC) plat\u00adform in its Sin\u00adgle-Pho\u00adton Ava\u00adlan\u00adche Diode (SPAD<\/span>) LiDAR sys\u00adtem, which gene\u00adra\u00adtes the hig\u00adhest point-cloud den\u00adsi\u00adty level of any LiDAR sys\u00adtem on the mar\u00adket today2<\/sup>. Point-cloud den\u00adsi\u00adty descri\u00adbes the num\u00adber of points within a given area and is ana\u00adlog\u00adous to image reso\u00adlu\u00adti\u00adon, whe\u00adre richer data ensu\u00adres that cru\u00adcial decis\u00adi\u00adon-making details are captured.<\/p>\n

Gene\u00adral\u00adly, SPAD-based sys\u00adtems are being adopted by auto\u00adma\u00adkers becau\u00adse of the space savings that can be achie\u00adved. The high\u00adly adap\u00adta\u00adble XA<\/span> Zynq UltraS\u00adca\u00adle+ MPSoC enables DENSO<\/span>\u2019s LiDAR sys\u00adtems to redu\u00adce the size of cur\u00adrent LiDAR imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adti\u00adons, allo\u00adwing mul\u00adti\u00adple LiDARs to work in tan\u00addem for for\u00adward view and side views of a vehic\u00adle. One device can be used for mul\u00adti\u00adple DENSO<\/span> LiDAR sys\u00adtems, inclu\u00adding future gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adons, which dri\u00adves down sys\u00adtem cos\u00adts and helps designs be future-ready.<\/p>\n

Cur\u00adrent vehic\u00adles in pro\u00adduc\u00adtion may have just one for\u00adward-loo\u00adking LiDAR, but next-gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon vehic\u00adles will have mul\u00adti\u00adple sys\u00adtems inclu\u00adding forward\u2011, rear facing- and side-view LiDARs. The addi\u00adtio\u00adnal sys\u00adtems are nee\u00added to move bey\u00adond dri\u00adver assis\u00adtance to full auto\u00adno\u00admy. DENSO<\/span> LiDAR can also be used for infra\u00adstruc\u00adtu\u00adre moni\u00adto\u00adring, fac\u00adto\u00adry auto\u00adma\u00adti\u00adon and other non-auto\u00adma\u00adted dri\u00adving applications.<\/p>\n

The fle\u00adxi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty and capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties of the Zynq UltraS\u00adca\u00adle+ MPSoC plat\u00adform and its abili\u00adty to meet strin\u00adgent func\u00adtion\u00adal safe\u00adty requi\u00adre\u00adments led us to work with AMD<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

DENSO<\/span>\u2019s SPAD<\/span> LiDAR can gene\u00adra\u00adte over three mil\u00adli\u00adon points-per-second at 10 frames per-second3<\/sup>. This midd\u00adle-ran\u00adge LiDAR sys\u00adtem uses XA<\/span> Zynq UltraS\u00adca\u00adle+ MPSoCs for sys\u00adtem moni\u00adtor func\u00adtion\u00ada\u00adli\u00adty to help enable the tem\u00adpe\u00adra\u00adtu\u00adre and over\u00adall sys\u00adtem to func\u00adtion cor\u00adrect\u00adly. Becau\u00adse the sys\u00adtem uses time-to-digi\u00adtal con\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adon ins\u00adtead of ana\u00adlog-to-digi\u00adtal con\u00adver\u00adters, the over\u00adall sys\u00adtem size and cost can be opti\u00admi\u00adzed while still deli\u00adve\u00adring high-per\u00adfor\u00admance high-den\u00adsi\u00adty data.<\/p>\n
