上海2023年1月10日/美通社/——12月20日，在以“下一波”为主题的2022年卡尔特拉日(Calterah Day 2022)上，卡尔特拉半导体(Calterah Semiconductor)推出了两款新的毫米波雷达SoC系列，Alps-Pro和Andes。点击这里观看完整的字幕视频。Alps- PRO是基于阿尔卑斯毫米波雷达SoC平台开发的，仅具有更强大，健壮和优化(PRO)的特点。Alps-Pro是市场上同类产品中芯片尺寸最小的低功耗4T4R SoC。基于Alp-Pro的前视雷达最大探测距离为240米，角精度为±0.1°，分辨率为3°。毫无疑问，Alps-Pro可以更好地满足雷达系统对L2+智能驾驶的要求。与阿尔卑斯产品相比，阿尔卑斯- pro产品具有以下显著优势:FMCW收发系统降低杂振衰减;CISPR 25 Class 5 EMC;100%更快的功能安全机制检测基带加速器(BBA)用于完整的雷达信号处理更高效的DDM流程;连贯的CFAR; SVA supported Greater performance in interference detection and mitigation; bit-true simulator for each BBA engine Digital circuitry Single-core CPU upgraded to dual-core Interface throughput improved by 19 times with 100 Mbps Ethernet Moreover, the various debugging features, simpler CPU resource management, and ASPICE compliance of Alps-Pro offer greater ease of use and shorten the time to market. Andes The next-generation mmWave radar SoC product family of Andes that brings the frontier technology to the market, was also unveiled. Consisting of two 4T4R radar SoCs using 22 nm process, the Andes family, unrivalled in every aspect, can realize 4D premium and imaging radar functions. As a next-generation platform, Andes is most advanced in computation power, RF design, cascading functionality, debugging, and cybersecurity. Computation power: 4-core CPU offering over 2000 DMIPS; DSP operating at least 2X faster than products on the market; Calterah proprietary RSP for rapid radar signal processing. RF module: 7-bit transmission line based phase rotator; flexible waveform generation supported; accurate digital compensation. Cascading functionality: C2C (Chip-to-Chip) interfaces; flexible cascading; AXI-based protocol facilitating software operation; distributed signal processing. Debugging: JTAG and Aurora interfaces; multiple data channels; analytic modules. Cybersecurity: Adaptation of "safety island" design; hardware accelerators supporting all encryption algorithms. With the extraordinary computation power, Andes supports high-throughput data processing and advanced algorithms. Its flexible architecture can meet the requirements of different use scenarios and waveforms. The convenient debugging functions significantly facilitate development and the superior Hardware Security Module can well address the ever-growing need for cybersecurity. At the product launch, Dr Chen Jiashu, CEO of Calterah, pointed out three directions towards which the automotive mmWave radar evolves: compact and low-power, economical, and 4D imaging. Calterah is proud to have the most comprehensive mmWave radar chip product portfolio and can offer, in sync with the three directions, the cutting-edge mmWave technologies to global users. Calterah's AiP products from the Alps family are preferred choices for small and low-power radar modules and perfect for emerging automotive in-cabin applications. For Alps-Pro, it targets L2+ intelligent driving radar with the cost-efficient advantage. Andes, however, is designed for 4D premium and imaging radar, contributing to L3+ auto driving. As of today, Calterah has served more than 400 customers, built a partnership with over 20 car OEMs, and enabled 70+ car models, with an accumulative shipment of over 3 million auto-grade chips. This year also witnesses the establishment of our first overseas site in Munich and hence we are able to better serve global customers and to get one step closer to the mission to "Make Millimeter-Wave Serve Everyone".
