ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Engineering - January 2023 - 20

New Tools & Technologies
Radar test chamber
Rohde & Schwarz's (Munich,
Germany) R&S ATS1500C automotive
radar test chamber now offers a
new temperature test option and a
new feed antenna. According to the
company, these additional features
enable temperature-controlled measurements
in a wide range, as well
as parallel access to both polarizations,
increasing test efficiency and
flexibility. The ARC-TEMP temperature
test supports a range from -40
°C to +85 °C (-40° to 185° F). The
heated or cooled air is provided by an external thermal air
stream system that supplies the air to the temperature bubble
mounted on the positioner. The new ARC-FX90 universal-feed
antenna supports 60 GHz to 90 GHz and includes an orthomode
transducer, which reportedly enables parallel access to
vertical and horizontal polarizations.

Position sensors
Allegro MicroSystems
(Manchester, New
Hampshire) announced its
A33110 and A33115 magnetic
position sensors for
ADAS applications that
require high levels of accuracy
and heterogeneous
signal redundancy. The sensors combine the company's vertical
hall technology (VHT) with tunneling magnetoresistance
(TMR) in a single sensor package, the company claims. The
A33110 and A33115 provide magnetic angle sensing via both
the primary and secondary vertical hall transducers, each of
which are processed by two independent channels, each with
independent regulators and temperature sensors. The A33110
and A33115 sensors provide magnetic angle sensing via both
the primary (TMR) and secondary (vertical Hall) transducers,
each of which are processed by two independent channels.

PMICs for camera modules
ROHM Semiconductor
(Kyoto, Japan) announced
the availability of ISO 26262
and ASIL B compliant
PMICs, BD868xxMUF-C
(BD868C0MUF-C,
BD868D0MUF-C), for automotive
camera modules.
The units are equipped with
an anomaly status notification mechanism, such as abnormal
voltage detection and feedback via I2C. This reportedly reduces
the number of components by three compared to former
solutions, which results in a 25% smaller mounting area
compared to conventional solutions and contributes to
smaller vehicle cameras. The four power-supply systems
(three DC/DC + one LDO) necessary for automotive cameras
are integrated into the 3.5mm × 3.5mm (.13-inch) package,
which ROHM claims is the industry's smallest size in comparable
camera PMICs.

ADAS validation
Foretellix and aiMotive
(Budapest, Hungary and Tel
Aviv, Israel) partnered to
combine Foretellix's Foretify
and aiMotive's aiSim platforms
for verification and
validation of ADAS and AV
perceptions. The system
supports the ASAM
OpenSCENARIO 2.0 standard which uses a language and domain
model for scenario-based testing required for the safe
deployment of ADAS. The joint solution reportedly enables
product-development teams to define abstract settings and
automatically generate millions of concrete scenarios that can
be executed in its GPU-based and ISO26262 ASIL-D certified
simulation engine. The data from this simulation set is gathered,
analyzed, and displayed on a dashboard, allowing the
teams to focus on bugs, edge cases and unknowns.
