The two companies, known for their strategic focus on safety systems and ADAS, empower automotive OEMs and tier 1s

Onsemi has announced that its Hyperlux Image Sensor Family has been integrated onto Renesas’ R-Car V4x Platform to enhance the vision system and improve safety of semiautomated vehicles, according to a press release on October 25.

Hyperlux image sensors feature a 2.1 micrometer (µm) pixel size, 150 decibel (dB) ultrahigh-dynamic range (HDR) and LED flicker mitigation (LFM) across the full automotive temperature range, critical factors needed in automotive applications. The combination of the sensors with Renesas’ R-Car flexible software platform equips original equipment manufacturers and tier 1s with the latest automotive computing to address these applications, including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and up to Level 3 automated driving.

“As a market leader and innovator in automotive image sensor technologies, onsemi is a logical choice to provide our customers with the highest levels of system performance, functional safety and cybersecurity,” said Takeshi Fuse, head of Function Unit and Business Development for the High Performance Computing, Analog and Power Solutions Group at Renesas. “Out-of-the-box compatibility of the onsemi Hyperlux image sensors on our R-Car V4x Platform and continued collaboration on the next generation offerings are testament to the quality of our products and longstanding relationship. This also goes back to Renesas’ core purpose to make our customers’ lives easier.”

This latest product combination builds upon a strong portfolio of products between Renesas and Onsemi products that have been deployed together in automotive applications for many years and product generations. Today millions of vehicles are on the road using a combination of R-Car Gen2 or Gen3 with Onsemi image sensors in applications such as front camera, surround view and driver monitoring systems (DMS).

“With its deep understanding of automotive applications and extensive experience in SoCs, Renesas is uniquely positioned to develop solutions that will meet customers’ current and future requirements,” said Chris Adams, vice president, Automotive Sensing Division at Onsemi. “The decision to integrate Hyperlux image sensors onto Renesas’ latest platform demonstrates that our sensors are a key technology for safety-critical ADAS and autonomous driving solutions, delivering the uncompromised image quality that customers expect.”
