ST's New 6-Axis IMU Revolutionizes Automotive Navigation and ADAS Systems STMicroelectronics unveils the ASM330LHBG1, a cutting-edge 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) designed for automotive navigation and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This compact module integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope, providing crucial vehicle motion data for applications like semi-autonomous driving and precise vehicle positioning. Key Features: ①ASIL-B compliant with ST's certified software library, ensuring automotive functional safety. ②Embedded digital capabilities including a machine-learning core and programmable finite state machines enable onboard data processing. ③AEC-Q100 Grade-1 qualified for automotive applications with an extended temperature range up to 125°C. ④Pin-compatible with previous IMU variants, facilitating seamless integration into existing systems. The ASM330LHBG1 empowers automotive systems with dead-reckoning algorithms, utilizing speed and angular rate measurements to estimate vehicle position when GPS signals are unavailable. This functionality enhances navigation accuracy, crucial for Level 2 semi-autonomous driving and ADAS applications relying on precise motion data. Behind the scenes, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensing elements enable high-performance acceleration and angular rate measurements. The module's wide range of operation accommodates diverse automotive applications. Moreover, low-power signal conditioning and a machine-learning core optimize performance while minimizing power consumption. Selectable operating modes allow designers to tailor power usage to specific application requirements. Built with automotive safety in mind, the ASM330LHBG1 is ASIL-B compliant, meeting rigorous safety standards outlined in ISO 26262:2018. ST's certified software library ensures reliable data acquisition and communication, essential for the integrity of ADAS and navigation assist features.

Are software-defined #ADAS sensors a realistic prospect for the automotive industry? indie’s Chet Babla dives into this topic with other industry experts in The Ojo-Yoshida Report. While updating perception algorithms over-the-air post vehicle sale can in theory extend the capabilities of deployed ADAS hardware, it is not a given that a software-only upgrade can always refresh an ADAS system’s ability to comply with evolving regulation, even if sensor fusion of camera and radar, for example, is leveraged. The recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA Automatic Emergency Braking (#AEB) mandate, including its challenging nighttime Pedestrian AEB (PAEB) requirement, is a case in point. Low-light camera vision processing performance depends heavily upon the deployed imaging sensor, color filter array (#CFA) and image signal processing (ISP) capability. Software upgrades alone are unlikely to address the limitations of deficient hardware for nighttime PAEB.
