Kai Deng Electronics (Cadence, NASDAQ: CDNS) has recently announced the expansion of its Tensilica IP product lineup to meet the growing needs of growing automotive sensor integration applications.The newly launched Cadence Tensilica Vision 331 DSP and Vision 341 DSP integrate vision, radar, lidar and AI processing functions into a single DSP. It is suitable for multi -mode and sensor -based system design. efficiency.When the new Cadence Tensilica Vision 4DR accelerator is optimized for 4D imaging radar applications and optimized, customers can achieve better radar performance and higher energy efficiency.There are already large car SOC suppliers to experience the first -generation Vision 341 DSP for its new -generation car SOC, which also reflects customers' needs for such new solutions.

"With the increasingly focusing of software definition of software and the popularization of drivers and passenger monitoring systems, the automotive structure is constantly improving and developing." Yole Group technology and market analyst Rapha? L Da Silva said Become a new competitive trend. In order to ensure the safety performance of the car under various conditions, combining radar, camera and laser radar is a must. Today, more than 40 sensors are installed on a car, and this number is still in the number, and this number is still. It will continue to grow. This kind of function is provided in a single DSP that supports a wide range of ecosystems, which is a single DSP, which is a great advantage. In particular, as Yole Intelligence pointed out in the "2023 Auto Radar" report, imaging is imaging, imaging And 4D radar is expected to achieve more than 40% of the average annual compound growth rate from 2023 to 2028, while the average annual compound growth rate of car imaging and 4D radar may exceed 131%. "

The newly launched Vision 341 DSP and Vision 331 DSP combine mature Tensilica Connx and Vision instruction set architectures to provide SOC providers for cars, drones, robots and autonomous vehicle systems, a highly programmable single DSP solution. Suitable for image sensing, millimeter wave radar, lidar and AI processing.Other functions and advantages include:

· Compared with Vision 331 DSP, 1024 -bit Vision 341 DSP can provide 2 times the multiplication plus operation (MAC) capacity, and at the same time provides performance and energy efficiency better than GPU or CPU.

· For some 4D imaging radar workloads, compared with Vision 230 DSP, the performance of 512 -bit Vision 331 DSP can be increased by 4 times compared with Vision 230 DSP, and the performance of Vision 341 DSP can be increased by 6 times.

· When using the new DSP for 4D imaging radar applications, the performance of the Vision 4DR accelerator is 3 times when using the Vision 341 DSP alone. The performance/area advantage is 6 times when the Vision 331 DSP is used alone. 5 times when Vision 331 DSP.

· The new Vision DSP can increase the computer visual performance of computer vision filters and NMS algorithms, and improve the AI ​​performance of quantitative and deep convolution.

Vision 341 and Vision 331 DSP support Tensilica Instrument Extension (TIE) language, allowing customers to customize instruction sets.Cadence Neuroweave? Software Development Tool Pack (SDK) provides neural network support for these two DSPs.In addition, VISION 341 and Vision 331 DSP also support more than 1,700 OPENCV -based visual library functions, SLAM libraries, point cloud library (PCL), radar library, Nature DSP library, OpenCl and Halide compiler for computer vision, imaging, imaging, imaging, imaging, imaging Radar and lidar applications.Both DSP kernels have passed ASIL B hardware random failure and ASIL D system failure certification, which can be used for car applications.

"With the increasing popularity of the visual Transformer model, car SOC and system companies need to provide more outstanding performance for sensor fusion applications. They want to find a highly flexible single DSP solution for computer vision, radar and lidar, and AI Processing. "David Glasco, Vice President of the R & D President of Cadence Chip Solutions Division, said" Cadence is an excellent provider of visual and radar DSP IP. Provide optional radar acceleration functions, which fully meets the growing needs of this day. "

client feedback

"DreamChip is an excellent developer of the ADAS market SOC. We believe that in the near future, the application of 4D imaging radar will become more and more common. We will continue to use Cadence Tensilica Vision DSP in SOC. It can provide higher performance with a smaller area, and also supports cameras, radar and 4D radar acceleration. "

-Jens Benndorf, Managing Director, CEO of DreamChip

"Semidrive will continue to develop and innovate the SOC for the information entertainment market segment. To achieve this, choosing high -efficiency processors and flexible DSPs is crucial. We will continue to use Cadence Tensilica Vision DSP in the product. At the same time, the new DSP that supports visual processing and radar processing is full of expectations. In addition, Cadence has a wide range of software library frameworks and powerful partner ecosystems, which helps us quickly deploy and speed up product listing. "

-Eugene Wang, General Manager, Global Automotive Business at Semidrive
