Aiming to combine semiconductor system design with advanced autonomous driving systems, Infineon Technologies AG and HL Klemove have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on automotive platforms for software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
Under the MOU, the companies will focus on three key areas:
- Next generation zonal control units
- Vehicle Ethernet-based ADAS and cameras
- Next generation radar technologies
Zone control units
Under the MOU, HL Klemove will lead application development on zonal control units for SDVs with Infineon supplying microcontrollers and power semiconductors.
The aim is to strengthen competitiveness in SDV electronic architecture by using prototype development.
ADAS and cameras
The companies will develop front camera modules and high-performance compute modules using Infineon’s Ethernet technology.
HL Klemove will handle systema and product development using the Ethernet semiconductors and networking technology for in-vehicle network solutions.
Radar technologies
Using Infineon’s monolithic microwave and millimeter wave ICs, HL Klemove will develop high-resolution and short-range satellite radar and prepare a proof-of-concept to prepare for commercialization.
Additionally, the companies will develop high-resolution imaging radar for object recognition.
Optimizing resources
Both companies point to the ability to optimize resources and accelerate proof of concept as one of the main building blocks to the collaboration. This will allow the companies to bring these technologies to market faster.
The companies also plan to build on this foundation for future projects in the autonomous driving segment that combines Infineon’s semiconductors with HL Klemove’s system integration capabilities.
