ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) from more than 35 manufacturers,
Driving with a system-on-chip (SoC) for a digital cockpit

TI announced that more than 150 million of its systems-on-chips (SoCs) for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and digital cockpits are currently on the road from more than 35 manufacturers.

With 35 years of automotive experience and billions of analog and embedded processing solutions to leading automotive companies worldwide, TI offers the TDA and 'Jacinto' processor families to help designers create safer and more connected applications.

TI's automotive processors also help automakers design the next-generation vehicles consumers want to drive and implement the features they demand. These demands include new applications that deliver improved interactivity and responsiveness compared to previous vehicles while minimizing total cost of ownership.

By leveraging existing hardware components and software investments without compromising system performance, automotive companies can leverage TI's heterogeneous architecture to enhance functionality and drive innovation within the same platform. Simultaneously, this architecture allows designers to expand image, signal, and vision processing capabilities.

Additionally, TI's automotive processors achieve better power efficiency than other solutions using general-purpose processors and enable multi-OS and multi-domain software architectures. Finally, it provides scalability that maximizes your investment across multiple models, systems, and applications, allowing you to easily differentiate to meet your needs.

TDA Driver Assistance SoC Family

TI's TDA family of driver assistance SoCs provides open, scalable solutions based on a common hardware and software architecture for ADAS applications such as camera-based front (mono/stereo), rear, surround view, night vision systems, multi-range radar and sensor fusion systems.

TI's TDAx SoCs are differentiated by their heterogeneous architecture, integrating specialized hardware accelerators (HWAs) such as an image signal processor (ISP), an embedded vision engine (EVE), and a digital signal processor (DSP). These accelerators are optimized to perform highly complex imaging and signal processing with low power consumption. The TDA processor family for ADAS includes:

The Jacinto processor supports automotive digital cockpit applications.

The 'Jacinto' processor family supports a wide range of automotive digital cockpit applications, including infotainment, head unit coprocessing for infotainment, information ADAS, integrated digital cockpits, digital instrument clusters, and head-up displays.

Designed for automotive safety and robustness, the 'Jacinto' heterogeneous architecture includes a hardware firewall, separates the high-level operating system (HLOS) and the safety operating system, and implements a robust multi-domain software architecture that meets ASIL-B safety certification. This processor will enable the design of feature-rich infotainment, instrument clusters, and telematics systems never before seen in next-generation automobiles.

The scalability of the Jacinto family allows developers to select the performance level that best suits their application needs, or, if necessary, migrate to higher-performance products without software or hardware modifications. The Jacinto 6 processor family offers software and hardware compatibility within the same architecture, offering the broadest range of ARM® Cortex®-A15 cores for automotive applications. The Jacinto 6 processor family for infotainment includes:

The 'Jacinto' processor family is primarily used in infotainment systems from companies such as Ford SYNC 3®, Volkswagen MIB-II, SAIC-Alibaba's 'Internet Car', and BMW.
