- FMCW LiDAR platform integrates indie’s SuryaTM SoC and SiLC’s
EyeonicTM Vision Sensor, enabling the industry’s most compact and
highest performance coherent vision system
- Collaboration delivers 10x performance, power and cost
advantages over existing implementations
- Single solution for silicon photonics optical engine and LiDAR
system signal processing
indie Semiconductor (Nasdaq: INDI), an Autotech solutions
innovator, and SiLC Technologies, Inc (SiLC), a leader in silicon
photonics innovation, have entered into a light detection and
ranging (LiDAR) partnership that enables coherent detection-based
LiDAR platforms for next-generation sensing applications, including
driver assistance, autonomous mobility, robotics and industrial
automation. This partnership will deliver fully integrated vision
system platforms deploying frequency modulated continuous wave
(FMCW) detection, redefining benchmarks for rapidly emerging LiDAR
applications.

Partnership (Graphic: Business Wire)
FMCW-based LiDAR delivers multiple real-world benefits compared
to direct detection-based Time of Flight (TOF) solutions, including
long-range with high precision, interference immunity, per-point
instantaneous velocity and motion measurement. This ground-breaking
partnership combines award-winning products from indie and SiLC
into reference platforms that enable an order of magnitude
improvement in sensing performance, manufacturability, power
consumption, form factor and cost relative to competing
systems.
“indie is excited to partner with SiLC to bring the processing
innovation from Surya to FMCW LiDAR, offering a breakthrough
reference design,” said Chet Babla, senior vice president,
strategic marketing at indie Semiconductor. “By combining the
software-defined high-performance - but low power - analog and
digital processing and system control capabilities of Surya™,
coupled with SiLC’s Eyeonic™ vision solution, system integrators
and OEMs are enabled with 4D FMCW imaging for mass market
deployment into multiple applications.”
Ralf Muenster, vice president, business development and
marketing at SiLC added, “We are excited to partner with indie to
bring industry-leading FMCW-based LiDAR platforms to market. Our
state-of-the-art FMCW LiDAR sensor features the highest
integration, resolution, precision, and longest range of any other
competing approach, while remaining the only commercially available
solution to offer polarization information.”
Driven by strong market demand, reference platforms featuring
Surya™ and Eyeonic™ have already been deployed and are being
evaluated by select lead automotive, tier one and industrial OEMs,
and both indie and SiLC are actively developing new reference
platforms to showcase the scalability and flexibility of their
combined technologies.
