北京2019年6月27日 /美通社/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI)今日宣布與First Sensor AG合作，共同開(kāi)發(fā)旨在加速推出自主傳感技術(shù)的產(chǎn)品，服務(wù)于交通、智能農(nóng)業(yè)、工業(yè)制造及其他行業(yè)應(yīng)用中的無(wú)人駕駛汽車、飛行器和水下交通工具。作為合作的一部分，ADI和First Sensor將開(kāi)發(fā)更小尺寸的LIDAR信號(hào)鏈，以幫助制造商為其自主安全系統(tǒng)注入傳感和感知技術(shù)時(shí)，能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)更高的系統(tǒng)性能以及更小的尺寸、更低的重量、功耗和成本。兩家公司還計(jì)劃開(kāi)發(fā)面向汽車和工業(yè)制造應(yīng)用的其他LIDAR產(chǎn)品。
ADI公司負(fù)責(zé)LIDAR的總經(jīng)理Stewart Sellars表示：“我們合作的第一步是優(yōu)化ADI行業(yè)領(lǐng)先的跨阻放大器(TIA)和First Sensor的雪崩光電二極管(APD)，以便能夠?yàn)榭蛻籼峁└鼜?qiáng)大、更高效的LIDAR解決方案，為L(zhǎng)IDAR系統(tǒng)在自動(dòng)駕駛市場(chǎng)的大規(guī)模商用提供更好的支持。”
在超過(guò)25年的時(shí)間里，ADI公司一直在開(kāi)發(fā)用于交通安全的傳感器技術(shù)。最新進(jìn)展包括專為將寬動(dòng)態(tài)范圍光電流轉(zhuǎn)換為低阻抗電壓信號(hào)而設(shè)計(jì)的多通道TIA。First Sensor也擁有超過(guò)25年的LIDAR APD制造經(jīng)驗(yàn)，APD是將光轉(zhuǎn)換為光電流的高度敏感的探測(cè)器陣列。優(yōu)化APD和TIA之間的互連至關(guān)重要，因?yàn)樗鼘?duì)本底噪聲和所能實(shí)現(xiàn)的帶寬有非常關(guān)鍵的影響。對(duì)這兩個(gè)參數(shù)的改善將直接轉(zhuǎn)換為L(zhǎng)IDAR系統(tǒng)的更高性能，使該系統(tǒng)可在更遠(yuǎn)的距離以更高的精度檢測(cè)到對(duì)象。
“隨著客戶期望重新專注于實(shí)現(xiàn)既經(jīng)濟(jì)又具技術(shù)含量的解決方案，LIDAR系統(tǒng)的市場(chǎng)正在逐步成熟，”First Sensor首席執(zhí)行官Dirk Rothweiler博士表示：“使APD和TIA相互適配是這一演變過(guò)程中具有關(guān)鍵意義的下一步。通過(guò)擴(kuò)大我們與ADI公司的合作，我們的客戶將受益于更高的LIDAR接收器性能。”
LIDAR是First Sensor的增長(zhǎng)動(dòng)力。該公司通過(guò)前向整合以及其與公司盈利增長(zhǎng)策略相一致的加速成本路線圖，正在為量產(chǎn)需求做準(zhǔn)備。
First Sensor和ADI公司將各自提供一個(gè)通用評(píng)估板，系統(tǒng)制造商可使用該評(píng)估板測(cè)試整合解決方案。
此次與First Sensor的合作標(biāo)志著ADI進(jìn)入實(shí)施其Drive360?自動(dòng)駕駛解決方案策略的下一階段。ADI的Drive360技術(shù)產(chǎn)品系列利用ADI在高性能MEMS、RF/毫米波和光電學(xué)/光學(xué)技術(shù)方面的核心競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，使ADI能夠?yàn)槠囆袠I(yè)提供整體解決方案，并成為滿足高度自動(dòng)化和自主駕駛技術(shù)要求的專門(mén)合作伙伴。關(guān)于Drive360的更多信息，請(qǐng)?jiān)L問(wèn)http://www.analog.com/pr190627/LIDAR 。
