Overview

Hardware Accelerator for 4D Imaging Radar Solution for Vision 331 and Vision 341 DSPs

The Cadence Tensilica Vision 4DR Accelerator is a hardware designed to address the increasing computational requirements for 4D Imaging radar for the automotive market. While working in conjunction with Vision 341 DSP, it provides up to 7X greater FFT performance than previous generation Vision DSPs. Because of its much higher performance than a DSP-only solution, a combined solution of Vision 331/341 and Vision 4DR saves considerable power and area.

Key features

Vision 4DR Accelerator has been designed to provide the best combination of hardware wire and programmable solution for 4D imaging radar. It offers the ability to operate on large data cubes required for today’s automotive solution. Because of its much higher performance than a DSP-only solution, a combined solution of Vision 331/341 and Vision 4DR saves considerable power and area.

  • Accelerates 2D and 1D Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) commonly used in Radar processing
  • 16/24-bit fixed-point processing
  • Programmable input scaling
  • AXi-based IP with multiple DMA (128/256-bit) for fast data movement
  • Highly programmable: ability to select data width, windowing, FFT size
  • System software to work as FFT offload engine for Vision 331/341
  • ISO 26262 ready for the automotive market

Role of Time-of-Flight Sensors in Automotive

The automotive sector is undergoing a profound transformation, moving beyond basic detection to a comprehensive, real-time 3D understanding of both the external environment and the vehicle's interior. ToF is emerging as a pivotal technology, offering precise 3D depth and distance information essential for navigating complex environments and understanding in-cabin dynamics.

Building a high-performance, low-power audio/voice subsystem

With the growing popularity of applications such as mobile gaming and voice triggering, the audio/voice subsystem is playing a prominent role in many mobile system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The subsystem must be designed to meet dual demands: high-performance, high-resolution audio stream processing as well as always-on, low-power voice trigger and recognition. Customizable digital signal processing (DSP) and audio/voice subsystem solution intellectual property (IP) blocks can provide a cost-effective and efficient way to develop and deliver high-performance audio/voice products.
