Overview

Description

The R-Car V3U SoC, based on the R-Car Gen 4 architecture, is the latest member of the open and innovative Renesas autonomy platform for ADAS and AD. The platform offers scalability from entry-level NCAP applications up to highly automated driving systems with the R-Car V3U providing up to 96k DMIPS and 60TOPS. The SoC integrates multiple sophisticated safety mechanisms that provide high coverage with fast detection and response for random hardware faults, achieving ASIL D metrics for the majority of the SoC processing chain, as well as reducing design complexity, time to market and system cost. It delivers highly flexible DNN (Deep Neural Processing) and AI machine learning functions. Its flexible architecture can handle any state-of-the-art neural networks providing up to 60 TOPS with low power consumption allowing air cooling systems. The R-Car V3U comes with an open and integrated development environment that enables customers to take advantage of the R-Car platform’s built-in hardware benefits, as well as low power consumption and deterministic real-time software to enable fast time-to-market for computer vision and deep learning-based solutions.

R-Car V3U Processor for Automated Driving

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms such as neural networks play a key role in achieving automated driving capabilities. The R-Car V3U system-on-chip (SoC) offers 60 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS) of neural network accelerator performance. The V3U offers this high performance at an industry's best TOPS per watt power consumption. Renesas offers an extensive and highly flexible toolchain for neural network development for easy embedded deployment. And, e2 studio, an Eclipsed-based integrated development environment (IDE) is offered for efficient software development. The R-Car V3U development boards and environment are available for the development of ADAS and automated driving vehicle applications.
