STMicroelectronics Reveals Most Highly Integrated Automotive 77GHz Radar Chip for Emerging Long-Range Applications
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
·        New 77GHz radar IC for long-range applications delivered to Tier-1
brands
 ·        77 GHz builds on leadership in short-range (24 GHz) radar ICs, 35
million of which have been shipped to date
 ·        New product complements ST's leading portfolio for ADAS systems,
which now features short-, mid-, and long-range radar solutions on top of vision
processing and V2X
Geneva, February 23, 2016 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications and the world's largest supplier of short- and mid-range (24GHz)
radar chips for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), is now supplying its
latest long-range (77GHz) radar chips to leading automotive customers.
24GHz systems have spearheaded the introduction of on-board automotive radar by
enabling affordable, short- and mid-range smart-driving features such as blind-
spot detection, collision avoidance, and lane-departure warning. ST has
delivered over 35 million 24GHz radar transceiver ICs to date, and continues to
build its customer base as more and more markets demand vehicles enhanced with
ADAS.
Today's most developed markets are ready for next-generation features like high-
speed adaptive cruise control that require high-power-output, long-range radar,
which is best implemented using 77GHz technology. The higher frequency allows
smaller antenna sizes, and permits the same technology to be used for ADAS
requiring short-range, medium-range, or long-range radar, hence simplifying
system design and reducing time to market.
ST is now building on its success with 24GHz radar to create a new, highly
integrated 77GHz transceiver that delivers market-leading performance. The
device contains three 77GHz transmitters and four receivers on a single chip,
which enables customers to build smaller, lower-cost, and less complex systems
compared with competing solutions in the market that are less highly integrated.
The multi-channel architecture of ST's new 77GHz radar chip enhances object
recognition and resolution that translates into superior performance and
dependability on the road.
Marco Monti, Executive Vice President, General Manager, Automotive and Discrete
Product Group, STMicroelectronics, said, "We have leveraged our technology and
success in ADAS markets to create the industry's most highly integrated 77GHz
radar transceiver. Our customers designing-in this device are positioned
strongly, as demand for 77GHz technology in advanced markets is growing in mid-
market and lower-cost vehicle platforms."
ST is now sampling its multi-channel single-chip 77GHz radar transceiver to lead
customers and is preparing to enter volume production in March 2017.
