NXP Introduces the Next Generation of Automotive Ultra-Wideband ICs Combining Secure Ranging and Short-Range Radar
28 Novembre 2023 - 9:00AM
NXP® Semiconductors (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced the
Trimension™ NCJ29D6, a fully integrated automotive single-chip
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) family combining next-generation secure and
precise real-time localization with short-range radar to address
multiple use cases with a single system, including secure car
access, child presence detection, intrusion alert, gesture
recognition and more. Integrated by major automotive OEMs, devices
from this family are expected to be on the road in model year 2025
vehicles.
Part of one of the industry’s broadest UWB portfolios, the new
family includes the highly integrated NCJ29D6B, the next generation
UWB device for secure car access, delivering enhanced ranging
performance, reduced system costs, higher security and turn-key
software. The family also includes the pin-to-pin compatible
NCJ29D6A, the industry’s first automotive device combining both
ranging and short-range UWB radar into a single chip with an
integrated MCU.
This enables OEMs to transform a single UWB-based car access
system into a fully flexible, multi-purpose platform, enabling
multiple use cases with the same hardware and allowing OEMs to
eliminate redundant systems and reduce cost, space and weight. For
example, OEMs can leverage their secure car access system to also
deliver features like child presence detection, in compliance with
the U.S. Hot Cars Act and European NCAP roadmap. This helps
streamline development and allows OEMs and Tier 1s to add
additional features through software updates, helping to reduce the
total cost of ownership and accelerating time to market for new
features.
“UWB will drive new advancements in the consumer automotive
experience, and this is only the beginning of what it will enable,”
said Markus Staeblein, Senior Vice President and General Manager
Secure Car Access, NXP Semiconductors. “Automotive OEMs and Tier 1s
will benefit from a single system that can deliver multiple new
software-defined experiences enabled by Trimension NCJ29D6 UWB ICs
over time. Building on our expertise and standardization efforts in
bodies such as the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) and the FiRa
Consortium, we are helping UWB become an essential part of the
automotive ecosystem.”
Next Generation Secure Car Access Solution The
new NCJ29D6B enables enhanced secure car access, allowing users to
access their car hands-free through a digital key on a UWB-enabled
mobile phone. The NCJ29D6B delivers a number of performance
enhancements to deliver maximum design flexibility for OEMs and
help future-proof secure car access capabilities. Higher RF
sensitivity and two simultaneous operating receiver chains support
antenna diversity and angle of arrival concepts to detect small
changes in distance or direction of movement of other UWB-enabled
devices. With a focus on system cost, the NCJ29D6B features
increased CPU performance, larger memory size and high levels of
integration, including an integrated digital CAN transceiver. This
allows the developer to reduce the number of components per anchor
to a single chip.
Extending UWB Capabilities with Radar The
pin-to-pin compatible NCJ29D6A extends the locations features of
the NCJ29D6B with short-range UWB radar. The first automotive
device to combine these features within a single chip with an
integrated MCU, the NCJ29D6A is able to sense the environment
around it. This allows OEMs to transform a single UWB-based system
into a multi-purpose platform, enabling multiple use cases with the
same hardware. In addition to secure car access, automotive OEMs
can integrate in-cabin sensing for child presence detection and
seat belt reminder, kick sensor for automatic trunk opening, as
well as various kinds of smart gesture recognition, allowing them
to maximize the value of UWB capabilities in automotive
applications.
Security by Design Designed with the
expectation that the variety of physical and cyber security attacks
on vehicles will increase over time, NXP’s new UWB family
anticipates the need for integrated security capabilities. Both
devices are designed to exceed the ISO21434 Cyber Security
Requirements. In addition, CCC MAC and FiRa MAC offer
standard-compatible UWB ranging protocols docking directly to the
customer application software, enabling and simplifying AUTOSAR
architectures.
Expanding PortfolioThe new Trimension IC family
expands NXP’s portfolio of Connected Car Consortium-based smart
access solutions, including KW45/47 wireless MCUs for Bluetooth Low
Energy, NCx332x automotive NFC frontend, NCJ37x automotive secure
element and FS24 family of automotive safety Mini CAN FD SBC.
