Overview
Description
R-Car V3H delivers best-in-class TOPS/Watt for cutting-edge computer vision, supports the latest NCAP 2020 requirements, including driver monitoring systems, and provides a migration path toward NCAP 2025.
High Performance Deep Learning
Building on the state-of-the-art recognition technology introduced with the R-Car V3H in February 2018, which includes integrated IP for convolutional neural networks (CNN), the updated R-Car V3H delivers 4 times the performance for CNN processing compared to the earlier version and is achieving up to overall 7.2 TOPS processing including all Computer Visions IPs– while maintaining low power consumption levels.
Cuting-edge FuSa Support
The highly integrated SoC supporting up to ASIL C Metrics safety goals on realtime domain is reducing the need for an external safety microcontroller to manage sensor fusion and final decision actions. The R-Car V3H features a suite of proven IPs that support the perception stack, sensor fusion with radar and/or Lidar, ISP with up to 8 MPixel cameras support, allowing OEMs and Tier 1s to achieve quicker time to market with lower Bill of Materials costs.
