Texas Instruments TDA4x SoC processor for advanced driving assistance systems and automatic parking launched by Mouser


On October 19, 2023, Mouser Electronics began selling Texas Instruments' TDA4VE, TDA4AL, and TDA4VL System on Chip (SoC) processors as an industry renowned New Product Introduction (NPI) agent providing ultra rich semiconductor and electronic components. These processors are designed specifically for intelligent visual camera applications, supporting advanced automotive features, including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and automatic parking, and providing ideal solutions for machine vision, industrial transportation, retail automation, as well as security and monitoring applications.


The TI TDA4x SoC processor provided by Maoze Electronics adopts the constantly evolving Jacinto 7 architecture and is equipped with specialized deep learning and traditional algorithm accelerators. These devices are equipped with two C7x floating-point vector DSPs and up to six Arms ® Cortex ®- R5F microcontroller and a dual core 64 bit Arm Cortex-A72 microprocessor subsystem. The integrated deep learning matrix multiplication accelerator (MMA) achieves performance of up to 8 TOPS with extremely low power consumption when operating at the worst case junction temperature of a typical car at 125 ° C. In addition, it is equipped with a dedicated visual hardware accelerator that can perform visual preprocessing without affecting system performance.


These high-performance SoC processors have excellent power performance ratios, ensuring the scalability and affordability of advanced visual camera applications. In addition, these processors are equipped with an integrated next-generation imaging subsystem (ISP), video codec, and isolated MCU island, without the need for external system microcontrollers. They provide multiple high-speed serial interfaces, including a PCI-Express Gen3 controller, a USB 3.0 dual role device subsystem, two CSI2.0 4L RX interfaces, and two CSI2.0 4L TX interfaces.


The TDA4x SoC processor uses automotive grade security hardware accelerators to provide protection, with integrated diagnostic and security functions supporting up to ASIL-D level operation while protecting data from new types of attacks. Some models also have embedded hardware security modules, encryption hardware accelerators, and embedded hardware security modules.
