TDA54-Q1

The TDA5 high-performance compute SoC family is designed to deliver safe and efficient edge AI performance, with capabilities of up to 1200 TOPS, with integrated C7™ NPU and chiplet-ready architecture. This enables seamless progression to L3 autonomous driving in software-defined vehicles, where conditional automation is possible in both urban and highway environments. Additionally, the TDA5 SoCs are well-suited for similar applications in industrial transportation, humanoid and industrial robots, and aerospace and defense with their advanced sensor processing, cybersecurity, and functional safety features.

The TDA5 SoCs feature multiple specialized subsystems, each tailored to address the growing demand for high-performance compute and cross-domain applications. These subsystems include dedicated processing cores and hardware acceleration for security, vision processing, edge AI, display rendering, and networking. By offloading these tasks, the SoCs’ MPU and MCU cores are freed up to focus on user application software. Furthermore, support for PCIe, Ethernet, and other automotive standard peripherals enables safe, secure, and high-speed data transfer between different components and systems.

Building on two decades of leadership in the automotive processor market, the TDA5 architecture is designed to provide a scalable and high-performance solution for a wide range of applications. As an evolution of the TDA4 family, software developed for TDA4 can be easily scaled to the TDA5 family, with minimal rework required. This allows for the reuse of software assets and enables the development of more complex and sophisticated applications. The TDA5 family’s unique combination of high-performance real-time and analytics cores, along with the latest C7™ NPU and next-generation accelerators for image signal processing, makes it an optimized solution for various camera, radar, sensor fusion, and AI applications.

The TDA5 family provides high-performance compute capabilities for both traditional computer vision and deep learning algorithms, with industry-leading power/performance ratios. The high level of system integration enables lower costs for advanced automotive platforms, supporting multiple sensor modalities in centralized ECUs, multiple sensor domains, or a centralized automotive computer. Key processing and acceleration cores include the latest-generation C7™ DSP with scalar and vector cores, dedicated deep learning acceleration, latest application and GPU cores for general compute, a vision and imaging subsystem, video codec, network packet processing accelerator, and Ethernet switch, as well as a dedicated security subsystem. These cores are carefully integrated into an SoC architecture designed from the ground up to support functional safety at a system level, ensuring the highest level of reliability and performance in safety-critical applications.
