NXP Combines Ultra-Wideband Secure Ranging and Short-Range Radar to Enable Autonomous Industrial and IoT Applications
10 Setembro 2024 - 4:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced the
Trimension® SR250, the industry’s first single-chip solution that
integrates on-chip processing capabilities with both short-range
UWB radar and secure ranging. This is the next leap forward in
NXP’s work to enable a world that anticipates and automates,
enabling a wide variety of new user experiences based on location,
presence or motion detection across consumer or industrial IoT
applications.
The Trimension SR250 combines low-power short-range
UWB radar operating at 6-8.5 GHz, secure ranging and
angle-of-arrival (AoA) calculations to enable new use cases based
on UWB mapping, human or object detection and secure positioning.
This allows it to deliver convenience, efficiency, safety and
privacy features in a smart home, such as turning lights or TVs on
or off based on presence, enabling secure home access capabilities,
or even monitoring the safety of an elderly person living alone
without intrusive cameras. It also supports safety, security and
productivity applications in industrial environments, being capable
of tracking location for workers, goods or assets, access control,
collision avoidance, danger zone detection and more.
“The Trimension SR250 represents the next
generation of NXP’s advanced UWB solutions, delivering a giant leap
towards a world that anticipates and automates,” said Philippe
Dubois, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Secure
Transactions and Identification, NXP. “The precise, secure and
energy-efficient detection of presence, motion or location enables
an almost unlimited number of new user experiences. Our customers
across the consumer and industrial IoT will benefit from the
reduced power consumption and the streamlined design process
enabled by this industry-first solution.”
The Trimension SR250 is part of one of the
industry’s broadest UWB portfolios, spanning devices across
automotive, mobile and IoT applications. It supports 3D AoA, time
difference of arrival (TDOA), and takes time of flight (ToF)
readings accurate to within ±5 cm. For use cases that require added
security, it can be combined with the EdgeLock SE051W secure
element. To simplify certification and ensure interoperability, the
Trimension SR250 is developed based on the FiRa Consortium 3.0
technical specifications.
Expanding UWB Capabilities with UWB Radar
and Integrated Radar Processing While UWB secure ranging
requires communication between two UWB-enabled devices to detect
location or presence, UWB radar is a passive solution requiring
only the single-chip IC. Leveraging low-power radar operating at
6-8.5 GHz, the Trimension SR250 can detect presence, location or
even motion, such as breathing or gestures. It can also detect and
track one or more people or objects when interfaced to a host
processor running AI/ML algorithms, such as the i.MX family of
applications processors, RW61x family of wireless MCUs or the MCX
family of MCUs.
The Trimension SR250 integrates on-chip radar
processing, allowing it to perform radar processing autonomously
and reducing the overall energy consumption of the system. For
example, the host processor can be in a deep sleep mode, while the
Trimension SR250 can use the on-chip presence detection to sense a
moving person or object. This on-chip processing is crucial to the
autonomous home and Industrial IoT capabilities, allowing the
system to take actions, such activating or deactivating an HVAC or
autonomous robot as a user enters or leaves a defined zone, such as
a room in a smart home or a danger zone in a smart factory.
Developer Enablement with Radar
Processing The Trimension SR250 is supported by firmware,
middleware, and sample applications to simplify development and
deployment. This includes firmware with support for updates, APIs
for the UWB Command Interface, updateable middleware, including C
programming language APIs for radar operation, and example radar
applications and algorithms.
With a broad ecosystem of partners, modules and
development kits, NXP makes it easy to start developing
quickly.
Product Availability The
Trimension SR250 is currently sampling and is expected to be
generally available in Q4 2024, including through NXP’s broad
ecosystem of module partners. For more information, please see
