ST to demo its chips for cars at ITS 2010

STMicroelectronics will demonstrate latest innovations for car safety, navigation and infotainment at the 17th ITS World Congress held in Busan, Korea, on October 26-29, 2010. ITS 2010 visitors are invited to Booth A-11-2-R, Hall 2A, BEXCO (Busan Exhibition Convention Center). The ST will demonstrate products on three application zones mentioned below:

1. Advanced Safety:
ST in cooperation with MobilEye has developed the EyeQ2 processor dedicated to automotive vision, with multiple cores and seven dedicated vision-processing units with driver-assist features. These features include collision-avoidance technologies, lane-departure warning systems and pedestrian protection. The EyeQ2 has received a 2010 Car Safety Award from the BusinessCar magazine.

ST will also be showing its latest automotive CMOS camera module for vision-based ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) . Other presentations in the Advanced Safety zone will include ST's solutions for radar-based ADAS, including 24/26GHz radar for short-range and side-mounted applications and 77GHz radar for long-range, forward-looking systems such as Active Cruise Control and autonomous braking.

2. Infotainment
ST will demonstrate its multi-standard digital radio receiver chipset (RF + baseband). This chipset is based upon a digital radio baseband IC that combines AM/FM phase diversity with dual DAB chains in a single chip.

ST will also demonstrate the HD Radio receiver that is reported to support all the latest features of this terrestrial digital radio technology, including the simultaneous reception of audio and data from two independent radio channels.

3. Navigation and Positioning
ST has introduced the Cartesio+ application processor with embedded GPS targeting multimedia car navigation systems.

ST will also demonstrate the Teseo II, a single-chip standalone positioning receiver that is compatible with all major navigation standards such as GPS, GALILEO and GLONASS and targeted for portable and in-car telematic applications.
