Mobileye taps Sonics for automotive SoC

LONDON — Mobileye NV, a specialist supplier of driver assistance systems for vehicles, is

using system-on-chip Smart Interconnects from Sonics Inc. in its next version single-camera

driving assistance SoC.

Sonics (Mountain View, Calif.) said the contract substantiates the effectiveness of its

SonicsMX design for multimedia streaming applications, as well as the trend by automotive

electronics companies to outsource their SoC interconnect designs for improved economics

and time to market. The design represents the first use of the Sonics Smart Interconnect

technology for an automotive application.

Mobileye Vision Technologies, the groups’ Israel-based R&D subsidiary, said the need to

consolidate driver assistance applications, such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure

warning, lane change assistance, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and traffic

sign detection, on to a single SoC creates complexities when designing these types of

devices.

“The SoCs we design have both ultra high-performance video processing and real-time data

transactions that require a proven, efficient and reliable interconnect architecture structure,”

says Elchanan Rushinek, vice president of engineering at Mobileye Vision Technologies.

The Sonics SoC technology has already been used by companies such as Broadcom,

Samsung, Texas Instruments and Toshiba for devices used in products for the wireless,

digital multimedia and communications markets.
