Subaru, based on ON Semi image sensors and technology
Successfully developed our own ADAS systems and algorithms
ON Semi Provides Technical Support for OEM Product Design


On the 29th, ON Semiconductor announced that it is collaborating with Japanese automaker Subaru to enhance its technological capabilities related to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

'EyeSight,' an ADAS system developed by Subaru, uses stereoscopic machine vision to identify road conditions, traffic signals, and potential hazards, controls vehicle speed based on this information, and notifies the driver of situations requiring action.

The EyeSight system, designed as part of the vehicle's functions rather than being added to the vehicle, is equipped with two Onsemi 'AR0231AT' CMOS image sensors at the front. ON Semi has supplied the 'AR0132AT' image sensor to the previous generation iSight system.

Subaru designed an architecture with Onsemi that ensures high-quality data is fed into high-performance algorithms via Onsemi's AR0231AT CMOS image sensor, and also improved and incorporated Onsemi's 'LED Flicker Mitigation (LFM)' function.

"It is not easy for semiconductor manufacturers to fully meet the requirements of Tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers," said an ON Semiconductor official. "However, ON Semiconductor can provide its tools if suppliers want them, and this collaboration with Subaru is an example of that."
