ON Semi, having acquired IBM radar technology, accelerates efforts to secure autonomous vehicle solutions
Published2017.03.08 09:21We will provide a diverse range of sensing products necessary for ADAS and autonomous driving solutions.
Ultimately, it is moving toward the autonomous vehicle market.
ON Semiconductor announced that it has acquired and licensed mmWave technology for automotive radar applications developed by IBM's Haifa Research team. The company plans to strengthen its position in the automotive image sensor market through this acquisition.
Radar is a key component of autonomous vehicles because it excels at measuring distance and object speed even in poor line of sight. By combining these technologies, ON Semiconductor has been able to respond to the sensor fusion trend, which heavily utilizes sensing technologies necessary to improve accuracy and vehicle safety.
With this acquisition, the design center located in Haifa, Israel, will immediately put into operation all research facilities and intellectual property, including the relevant expertise and equipment. The team's Eband designs, which adhere to strict European ETSI standards, include high-power solutions for chipset-based Fixed Beam Silicon.
An ON Semiconductor official stated, “Through the radar technology acquired, we will accelerate our automotive sensing business more rapidly than the surging trend of the rapidly growing camera-equipped device market.”

OnSemiconductor Delivers Gesture Sensing and Touch Performance with Capacitive Digital Converter
OnSemiconductor has introduced a new touch/proximity sensing solution integrated on a single chip. The LC717A30UJ is a wide-range capacitance-to-digital converter that uses mutual capacitance to detect changes down to the femtofarad (fF) level. The parasitic capacitance cancellation function raises the sensitivity of the noise rejection detector as the built-in noise elimination mechanism handles electrostatic interference (EMI) effects.

[e4ds Tech Day 2026 ⑨] Sim Sang-gyu, Autocrypt CTO: "In the Physical AI Era, Automotive Security Must Extend Beyond the Vehicle"
At e4ds Tech Day 2026, Sim Sang-gyu, CTO of Autocrypt, explained automotive cybersecurity strategies in the era of Physical AI and SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle). Automobiles are evolving as part of an ecosystem connected to AI, cloud, chargers, IoT, and robots, and he emphasized that the scope of security must expand beyond the vehicle interior to the entire connected environment. In particular, AI model tampering, adversarial attacks, OTA updates, and EV charger hacking were identified as major threats. He explained that response measures require zero trust, AI model integrity protection, intrusion detection, Security by Design and Default, and full lifecycle security management, and that proactive security system establishment beyond regulatory compliance is critical for securing future mobility competitiveness.

Practical HIL Construction Strategy for Automotive and Off-Highway Controller Validation
As vehicle E/E architecture transitions to zonal structures and shifts to software-defined vehicles (SDV), the number of controllers (ECUs) requiring validation and software complexity are surging dramatically. Meanwhile, real vehicle testing cannot provide repeated verification under identical conditions and entails lead time and safety concerns. This white paper explains the principles of HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) validation and the structure of the NI platform composed of PXI, SLSC, and VeriStand, and through two actual implementation cases—Camera Record & Replay HIL for In-Cabin Monitoring Controller (ICMU) and Forklift Controller (VCU) HILS—describes how controller-level regression testing becomes possible. Additionally, it explicitly states application boundaries and limitations, such as lack of A2B support.
