Texas Instruments (TI) introduced its new Jacinto™ 7 processor platform at the 2020 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) . The new Jacinto™ processor platform builds on TI’s decades of automotive system and functional safety knowledge with enhanced deep learning capabilities and advanced network processing to address design challenges in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS ) and automotive gateway applications.

The first two automotive-grade chips in the platform series, the TDA4VM processor for ADAS and the DRA829V processor for gateway systems , include dedicated accelerators for accelerating data-intensive tasks such as computer vision and deep learning . In addition, the TDA4VM and DRA829V processors include a microcontroller (MCU) that supports functional safety , allowing automotive manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers to support ASIL-D high-safety tasks and functions with a single chip. The two chips share a software platform that enables developers to reuse a large amount of software investment in applications in multiple vehicle domains, thereby reducing system complexity and development costs .

Improving vehicle perception with lower power consumption

ADAS technology helps cars see and adapt to the world around them by tapping into camera, radar and lidar data. The influx of information into cars means that processors or systems on a chip need to quickly and efficiently manage multiple levels of data processing in real time and need to meet the power requirements of the system . TI's new processors perform high-performance ADAS operations using only 5 to 20W of power without active cooling.

The TDA4VM processor has powerful on-chip data analysis capabilities , combined with a visual pre-processing accelerator , which makes system performance more efficient. Automakers and Tier 1 suppliers can use it to develop front camera applications, using high-resolution 8-megapixel cameras to help vehicles see farther and add more driver assistance enhancements. In addition, the TDA4VM processor can operate 4 to 6 3-megapixel cameras simultaneously , while also integrating multiple other perception processing such as radar, lidar and ultrasound on a single chip. This multi-level processing capability enables the TDA4VM to serve as the centralized processing unit of ADAS, thereby realizing key functions in automatic parking applications (such as surround view and image rendering display), while enhancing vehicle perception capabilities and achieving 360-degree recognition perception .
