On April 15, Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a new portfolio of automotive lidar, clock, and radar chips designed to enable automakers to incorporate more advanced autonomous driving features across a broader range of vehicle models, thereby enhancing vehicle safety.

The LMH13000 from TI is the industry's first integrated high-speed lidar laser driver, offering ultra-fast rise times that improve real-time decision-making. Additionally, TI introduced the CDC6C-Q1 oscillator, the first-ever BAW-based automotive clock, along with the LMK3H0102-Q1 and LMK3C0105-Q1 clock generators, which aim to enhance the reliability of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

To meet the evolving needs of ADAS, TI also launched the AWR2944P millimeter-wave radar sensor, providing advanced front and angular radar capabilities for improved vehicle sensing.
