High Performance Scalable Radar and LiDAR DSP IP
Ceva-SensPro Radar is a complete DSP based Radar/LiDAR processing solution family, targeting ADAS and high-end 4D imaging Radar/LiDAR applications. The Ceva-SensPro Radar DSP allows rapid development of SoCs for Advanced Radar and LiDAR use cases.
The Radar and LiDAR DSP IP is uniquely designed to handle multiple workloads of front-end processing, post-processing, and AI processing in a single unified DSP. It may also be combined with cameras and other sensors using sensor-fusion to enable 4D imaging Radar.
The Ceva-SensPro Radar is all-inclusive, scalable, and configurable per application requirements. Support for various automotive architectures like Zonal, Centralized and more.
- Low-end corner Radars
- High-end 4D imaging Radars/LiDAR
Configurable computation platform tunable across:
- Radar/ LiDAR front-end processing requirements
- Radar/ LiDAR resolution, Beamforming etc.
- Radar/LiDAR point-cloud processing
- Radar/LiDAR advanced target tracking
The DSP Family includes a choice of three SensPro Radar cores:
- Ceva-SP100R DSP, with 128 8×8 MACs, 32 16×16 MACs, and up to 8 single precision floating point MACs and includes 2X FFT extensions.
- Ceva-SP250R DSP, with 256 8×8 MACs, 64 16×16 MACs, and up to 16 single precision floating point MACs and includes 4X FFT and 4X beamforming HW extensions.
- Ceva-SP500R DSP, with 512 8×8 MACs, 128 16×16 MACs, and up to 32 single precision floating point MACs and includes 8X FFT and 8X beamforming HW extensions.
Ceva-SensPro Radar DSP IP maximizes performance-per-watt for multi-sensor processing use cases by utilizing a combination of high performance single and half precision floating point math, point cloud creation and Deep Neural Network processing.
The Ceva-SensPro Radar DSP IP is paired with advanced Radar/LiDAR SDK and development tools that include LLVM C/C++ compiler, Eclipse based integrated development environment, and a graph compiler for neural networks.
These broad set of software and development tools help to minimize cost and improve time to market for ADAS and L4/L5 automotive applications.
