Infineon Provides ICMS Subsystem Architecture
In the hot summer, staying inside a vehicle for extended periods of time without proper precautions can lead to heatstroke. In-cabin monitoring systems (ICMS) for vehicles ensure occupant safety. Various applications, such as driver status and occupant detection, are emerging, and radar is a key technology in these systems.
Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) today announced the availability of an ultra-wideband, ultra-low-power, high price-to-performance and scalable ICMS subsystem architecture comprising the XENSIV™ BGT60ATR24C AEC-Q100 radar sensor, AURIX™ MCU and OPTIREG™ PMIC. This architecture enables new signal processing techniques, increases system robustness and optimizes the processing capacity and power consumption of the system.
The Sensive BGT60ATR24C radar sensor features multiple transmitters and receivers for virtual array configuration, an agile modulation generation mechanism, automatic power mode configuration, and a simplified interface between RF and processing. The Orix TC3xx MCU family enhances security by incorporating a high-performance safety architecture, a high-speed radar signal processing unit, and a second-generation Hardware Security Module (HSM). It also includes an asymmetric cryptographic accelerator and full EVITA support.
Infineon's 60GHz automotive product portfolio is ideally suited for ICMS applications. Infineon also supports development simplification through partnerships with Bitsensing, a Korean imaging radar solution startup, and Caaresys, an Israeli startup.
“Our ‘MOD620’ 60GHz system solution is implemented with advanced signal processing technology using Infineon solutions,” said Lee Jae-eun, CEO of Bitsensing. “It provides the automotive industry, which demands high performance, reliability, and high intelligence, with confidence in safety.”
“Our CabinCare and BabyCare solutions aim to improve safety inside vehicles,” said Ilya Sloushch, CEO of Karesis. “We will combine our expertise in algorithms and radar signal processing with Infineon’s Sensible radar sensors and AURIX MCUs to enable contactless vital sign monitoring.”

Object recognition technology that improves autonomous driving safety, "How far has it come?"
Autonomous vehicles require sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, and radar. The object recognition AI model installed in autonomous vehicles interprets information transmitted by multiple sensors based on datasets, recognizes surrounding objects, and determines direction and driving control. Object recognition requires labeled datasets in any field, but the autonomous driving industry has not yet reached consensus on dataset labeling methods, with only basic standards having been established.

A single misaligned light means 'defect'… Vehicle interior lighting now guarded by semiconductors and software
Automotive interior lighting is moving beyond its role as 'auxiliary lighting.' As it becomes a core element of user experience (UX) that expresses brand identity through color and animation while reflecting driver preferences, the LED interior ambient lighting market is growing rapidly. In connection with this, we met in advance with Choi Young-jae, Research Director at Dabo Corporation, who will present a technical webinar session on "Intelligent LED Interior Lighting Solutions Illuminating Future Vehicles," to hear about market trends and changes in design requirements.
