The Texas Instruments TDA3x system-on-chip for ADAS

There is a revolution afoot in automotive safety, and we have chosen two SoCs that are leading the charge in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The Texas Instruments TDA3x SoC family targets advanced vehicle systems with 1920 x 1080p, 60-frames/s video processing and up to 512 Kbytes of L3 RAM. It supports a front camera, a rear camera, surround view, radar, and image fusion.

The chip includes two C66x floating-point VLIW DSPs with Up to thirty-two 16 x 16-bit fixed-point multiplies/cycle. It has two dual-core Cortex-M4 image processors, an embedded vision engine (EVE), a display subsystem, a DDR2/3 memory interface with CRC, and CAN and GigBit Ethernet AVB I/O. The IC is automotive AEC-Q100 Qualified and enables algorithms for lane-keep assist, advanced cruise control, traffic-sign recognition, pedestrian and object detection, forward collision warning, and back-over prevention.
