A leader in LiDAR technology, LeddarTech provides Tier-1 automotive suppliers and AD system integrators with the versatile LeddarEngine™ LiDAR platform, enabling them to design solid-state LiDAR solutions. To develop solid-state 3D LiDAR with a 180-degree FoV for use in AV and ADAS applications, LeddarTech needed a reliable partner with specific technical expertise.
After successfully partnering with Orthogone in 2017 for the electronic design of multiple high-speed digital and analog printed circuit boards, LeddarTech again turned to Orthogone to provide needed technical expertise and speed development time.
To develop a product that would meet customer needs and be done on a tight schedule, LeddarTech asked Orthogone to provide CPU design expertise including high-speed signal, and develop most of the electronic components for the project in collaboration with in-house mechanical and electrical engineering groups.
For the 180-degree field of view solid-state 3D LiDAR project, Orthogone designed the CPU card used to control, monitor, and communicate with the internal modules and the LiDAR module, and be the main power supply interface of the system. Orthogone also developed an ASIC card that has the LeddarCore® LCA2 SoC and the photodiode detector on it.
Orthogone also designed custom flex cables to help reduce the interference between inside modules. The flex cable design uses a 2-layer architecture including a ground to keep better trace impedances and have better interference immunity.
The Leddar Pixell is a 3D flash LiDAR with 180-degree field of view designed for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) applications. The Leddar Pixell provides highly reliable detection of pedestrians and other obstacles in the vehicle’s vicinity and is ideal for use in perception platforms that help ensure safety and protection. This robust solid-state LiDAR design makes it ideally suited for ADAS and AD deployments in any operating domain, including public transit, commercial delivery, long-haul trucking, off-road vehicles and robotaxis.
