ACUTE - Deutschland’s Post

The number of semiconductor-enabled electronic control units (ECUs) within a vehicle has exploded from tens to over one hundred today. For automakers, this has created challenges in terms of E/E and #ADAS architecture design complexity, cost and weight of ECU wiring and power distribution, power and thermal constraints, vehicle software management, and supply-chain logistics. In a recent article in Electronic Design, indie’s Chet Babla explores ADAS, sensing, and E/E architectures more in-depth: 🚗 The various sensor modalities that automakers must leverage to deliver next-generation ADAS solutions, the trade-offs between these technologies, and the challenges of processing the resulting data. 🚗 The evolution of sensing architectures due to the advancements of ADAS and the limitations of central compute E/E architectures. 🚗 The ultimate goal of increased driver and safety features through ADAS and multi-modal sensing (cameras, LiDAR, radar, and more) to reduce road fatalities and injuries.

BATTERY CHARGING/ANALYZING BALANCING ATEQ can provide instruments to help charge, discharge and analyze complex #Batteries. 🔋Battery Modules 🔋Battery Packs 🔋Aviation Batteries DESIGNED TO ASSIST VEHICLE WORKSHOPS 🚘The new #ElectricVehicles come with a variety of #ElectronicComponents, including automated driving assistance that uses sensors to feel the environment. Whether the sensors are cameras, lidar, or something else, the sensors are in leak-tight housings since they are exposed to the elements. Other sensors, like TPMS sensors (Tire pressure monitoring system), also need to be leak-tight during wheel and vehicle assembly and at maintenance level. An ingress air leak test performed in a custom chamber is generally preferred to test these sealed electronics.

This pocket-sized TIM100-30100200 270° 2D Lidar Sensor, by SICK Sensor Intelligence, is making its way through the lab this week. When it comes to industrial tech like SICK scanners, repairing rather than replacing can bring major advantages: 💰 Cost Efficiency – Repairs are often cheaper than new units, especially for minor issues. ⏳ Minimal Downtime – Repairs usually keep original configurations intact, reducing setup time. ♻ Sustainability – Extending device life reduces electronic waste and conserves resources. 🤞🏻 Reliability – Maintain consistent, calibrated performance without unexpected changes. For organizations focused on efficiency and sustainability, repairing can deliver both economic and environmental benefits.

#LiDAR As an advanced detection and measurement technology, LiDAR has the advantages of high precision, high resolution, and high reliability. It provides key technical support in the fields of unmanned driving, intelligent transportation, industrial automation and robots, warehousing and logistics, environmental perception, industrial mapping, etc. According to Sullivan's forecast, the global LiDAR market will reach US$13.54 billion by 2024, with a compound growth rate of 64.65% from 2020 to 2025. Although the growth of LiDAR is unstoppable, cost reduction is still one of the core concerns of enterprises. As a precision sensor integrating light, machinery, and electricity, LiDAR has not only computing chips as its core components, but also hundreds of subdivided devices inside. In terms of production process, the material cost and equipment debugging cost are high. If you want to reduce costs, you need to start from the bottom-level chip, which is equivalent to turning the cost and mass production of LiDAR into a "semiconductor" problem. In fact, the laser transceiver module, which occupies the bulk of the BOM cost (material cost) of LiDAR, includes electronic components such as lasers, detectors, lasers, laser drivers, and analog front ends. By integrating these laser components on the chip, the material cost and installation and debugging costs can be reduced. At the same time, the chip cost can be further reduced by continuously improving the semiconductor process. With the popularization of smart devices, the scene requirements of different application fields have also put forward targeted requirements for laser radar technology. In the future, laser radar products will be more diversified, personalized, and customized. In this context, the laser radar industry chain has both challenges and opportunities. #Chenghepcba #pcb #pcbdesign #pcbmanufacturing  #pcba #pcbassembly #EMS #smt #pcbamanufacturing  #ic #chips #components #electroniccomponents  #onestopsolution #sourcingandprocurement

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) leverage various sensor modalities, including computer vision, ultrasonic, radar and LiDAR, to gather and process data about the vehicle’s exterior and interior environment. Designing and implementing cost-effective ADAS is critical in enabling mass-market vehicle safety. But what type of electrical and electronic (E/E) processing architecture can best address system design challenges in the context of scalable ADAS? At indie, we believe a distributed intelligence ADAS approach enables scalable architectures across vehicle classes. In a recent byline in AutoVision News, indie’s Chet Babla discusses the need to bring together inputs from multiple types of sensors, and how distributed intelligence reduces system power and costs for automotive OEMs. Read Chet’s full piece here: https://lnkd.in/eHfVZjGX #ADAS #sensorfusion #distributedintelligence #roadsafety #indiesemi
