Superior RF performance compared to SiGe-based platforms
Providing applications necessary for autonomous driving and ADAS

Analog Devices has launched the Drive360 ^™ 28nm CMOS RADAR technology platform based on its Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), MEMS, and RADAR technology portfolio.

Analog Devices is the first to provide automotive RADAR technology based on the latest 28nm CMOS process. The Drive360 ^™ RADAR platform delivers best-in-class RF performance for modern safety and autonomous driving applications. This RF performance is superior to the current best-in-class SiGe (silicon germanium) based platforms, allowing the vehicle to recognize small objects at a distance and buy time to perform avoidance maneuvers.

The 28nm technology platform enables Tier 1 and OEM customers to directly reduce time-to-market, design risk, and development costs. The new platform supports various applications, including advanced long-range use cases required for autonomous driving and ADAS, short-to-medium range automatic emergency braking, blind spot detection, rear and side approach vehicle warning, and ultra-short range automatic parking.



Chris Jacobs, President of Automotive Safety at Analog Devices, explained, “ADI’s primary goal was to achieve next-generation autonomous driving performance on a platform supporting multiple generations of systems by providing the highest level of application applicability and scalability.” He continued, “ADI analyzed currently produced SiGe-based RADAR products from a completely new perspective and devised an approach that leverages the cost, power consumption, and integration advantages of small geometry CMOS. The Drive360 ^™ 28nm CMOS RADAR platform offers performance levels that match or surpass current best-in-class SiGe performance and support the requirements of emerging autonomous driving applications.”

Analog Devices’ Drive360 ^™ 28nm CMOS RADAR platform enables high-level signal processing and custom IP integration, allowing designers to differentiate their systems. A highly integrated power management companion chip is also used with the platform. Through this system, Tier 1 and OEM customers can receive the high performance required to implement reliable solutions for emerging autonomous driving applications.
