Side and Surround Sensing

onsemi ADAS side and surround cameras provide reliable 360‑degree situational awareness for features such as blind‑spot monitoring, lane‑change assistance, cross‑traffic alerts, parking automation, and full surround‑view visualization. These cameras utilize industry‑leading High Dynamic Range (HDR) and advanced LED Flicker Mitigation (LFM) to maintain consistent image clarity across harsh lighting conditions managing reflections from nearby vehicles, shadows between buildings, underground parking environments, and rapidly changing roadside illumination.

Built on onsemi’s next‑generation Hyperlux imaging architecture, these sensors deliver extremely high HDR performance with low power consumption and compact optical footprints. This enables vehicle designers to deploy dense multi‑camera architectures essential for L2+ and L3 automated driving. The platform supports real‑time safety mechanisms, low‑latency imaging pipelines, and functional safety processes aligned with ASIL requirements to ensure robust perception around the entire vehicle.

For side‑view and mirror‑replacement applications, the sensors offer excellent sensitivity and low noise, capturing fine detail needed to detect pedestrians, cyclists, overtaking vehicles, and objects within blind zones. Surround‑view implementations benefit from wide‑angle capability, precise color reproduction, distortion‑correction support, and tightly synchronized multi‑camera operation that enables accurate 360° stitching and seamless driver visualization.

With features such as multi‑exposure HDR, LFM, high frame rate imaging, flexible MIPI CSI‑2 interfaces, and on‑chip diagnostics, onsemi’s side and surround cameras provide automakers with scalable solutions from compact, cost‑optimized modules to advanced systems that output both machine‑vision data and high‑quality rendered views. Together, these imaging technologies enhance safety, improve driver confidence, and support increasingly automated parking and maneuvering functions across modern vehicle platforms.
