The Lidar subsystem

Figure 3 shows the entire functional lidar module subsystem, including the signal chain, power,interface, clocking and monitoring or diagnostics subsystem. The main subsystems of the lidar signal chain comprise a transmitting system (Tx), a receiving system (Rx) and a custom digital-processing system to extract point-cloud information. TI offers device options for the function blocks shown in teal.
