NXP recently released its third-generation imaging radar processor, the S32R47 series, which adopts 16nm FinFET technology. Its processing capacity is twice that of the previous generation, and the system cost and energy efficiency have also been improved. The S32R47 processor integrates a high-performance multi-core radar processing system and supports AI/ML functions, which can enhance the resolution, sensitivity and dynamic range of imaging radar, and can more accurately identify and classify objects, such as vulnerable road users and lost goods.

The S32R47 processor can achieve performance targets while reducing the number of antenna channels, solving integration challenges, lowering system costs, size and power consumption, and supporting automakers in developing more advanced autonomous driving functions, such as autonomous driving navigation, while meeting the large-scale demands of software-defined vehicles of tomorrow.

NXP's extensive radar product portfolio covers a wide range of use cases and architectures from corner radars to high-resolution 4D imaging radars. The S32R platform offers a universal architecture, facilitating software reuse and rapid development. It is also equipped with a high-performance hardware security engine, OTA update support, and compliance with the latest cybersecurity standards.
