Mobileye is using Sonics' interconnect technology in its next single-camera driving assistance system-on-chip (SoC). This represents the first use of Sonics' Smart Interconnect in an automotive application and will help Mobileye consolidate multiple driver assistance applications like adaptive cruise control onto a single SoC. Mobileye's vice president says their SoCs require a proven, efficient interconnect due to the high-performance video processing and real-time data transactions. Sonics' technology has already been used in wireless, digital media, and communications products by companies like Broadcom, Samsung, Texas Instruments and Toshiba.

Mobileye taps Sonics for automotive SoC
LONDON — Mobileye NV, a specialist supplier of driver assistance systems for vehicles, is
using system-on-chip Smart Interconnects from Sonics Inc. in its next version single-camera
driving assistance SoC.
Sonics (Mountain View, Calif.) said the contract substantiates the effectiveness of its
SonicsMX design for multimedia streaming applications, as well as the trend by automotive
electronics companies to outsource their SoC interconnect designs for improved economics
and time to market. The design represents the first use of the Sonics Smart Interconnect
technology for an automotive application.
Mobileye Vision Technologies, the groups’ Israel-based R&D subsidiary, said the need to
consolidate driver assistance applications, such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure
warning, lane change assistance, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and traffic
sign detection, on to a single SoC creates complexities when designing these types of
devices.
“The SoCs we design have both ultra high-performance video processing and real-time data
transactions that require a proven, efficient and reliable interconnect architecture structure,”
says Elchanan Rushinek, vice president of engineering at Mobileye Vision Technologies.
The Sonics SoC technology has already been used by companies such as Broadcom,
Samsung, Texas Instruments and Toshiba for devices used in products for the wireless,
digital multimedia and communications markets.
