Melexis ToF technology is used in the in-car gesture control system to create a happy family car experience

     Melexis announced that Ideal Car is equipped with the 3D depth sensor MLX75027 in the Ideal L7, L8, L9 and luxury SUV models. With the advantages of 640×480 pixels and True VGA resolution, MLX75027 maps user gestures directly to the large full-color display mounted on the system to accurately restore user intentions. The sensor ensures consistent performance in a wide range of environmental conditions, even under strong light.

     "This collaboration is very important to further consolidate our ToF sensor position in the Chinese market." "Said Gualtiero Bagnuoli, Melexis market manager for optical sensors. "We have accumulated a wealth of experience in this technology, helping Melexis lead the development of in-car sensing technology. In addition to novel intuitive gesture control applications developed in conjunction with Ideal Automotive, the technology is an excellent choice for functional safety and safety-related applications."

     "The outstanding performance and quality of the MLX75027 is the main reason we chose it, which fits in with our vision to improve the in-car environment, create mobile homes, and create happy homes," said Ideal Car Review. In addition, Melexis has supported us throughout the project to ensure that the new model is launched on schedule."

     MLX75027 has passed AEC-Q100 certification, and many automakers have chosen this chip to perform 3D scene analysis for their upcoming models. It is suitable for a variety of applications including DMS (Driver monitoring systems), which will become a mandatory standard in the leading global automotive market. In addition to driver fatigue monitoring, driver identification applications are included to help prevent fraud and anti-counterfeiting.

     Integrated with a high-speed MIPI-2 camera interface, the sensor can capture 135 distance frames per second, ensuring fast response in gesture control and eye tracking applications. It has extremely low power consumption and can be easily integrated with VCSEL up to 100Mhz, ensuring stable performance under a variety of ambient lighting conditions. The EVK75027 evaluation suite enables rapid start of design work and accelerates the process of product to market.
