IMI to make car cameras for Renesas
AYALA-led electronics manufacturer Integrated Micro-Electronics Inc (IMI) has bagged a deal to produce automotive cameras for US-based semiconductor firm Renesas Electronics.
IMI – which now ranks 7th in the global list of top automotive electronics manufacturing service (EMS) providers – said on Friday it would provide automotive cameras for the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) surround view kit of Renesas Electronics, a supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions.
Renesas ADAS surround view kit combines automotive cameras from IMI and high-speed gigabit multimedia serial links (GMSL) from Maxim Integrated Products Inc. on a miniature automotive chassis. Such integration eliminates the need for customers to source and set up automotive components by themselves for surround view development.
When used in combination with Renesas ADAS starter kit and surround view kit, IMI said the camera would simplify and accelerate the development of surround view applications for advanced driver assistance systems.
IMI’s camera platforms offer automotive ADAS system developers a menu feature set of various combinations of the latest automotive megapixel complementary metal-oxide semiconductor or CMOS sensor, image pipeline and interface architectures, the company said.
“The camera platforms feature state-of-the-art opto-mechanical alignment, efficient thermal management, ingress protection, MTF (modulation transfer function)/temperature stability in the smallest size and the least power consumption,” IMI said.
“They are automotive-ready, and can easily be customised to enable the system to work immediately,” the company said.
A subsidiary of Ayala Corp., IMI is one of the leading global providers of EMS and power semiconductor assembly and test services with manufacturing facilities in Asia, Europe, and North America. Apart from the automotive segment, it serves diversified markets that include those in the industrial, medical, telecommunications infrastructure, storage device, and consumer electronics industries.
