Samsung launched its latest UWB chipset for cars: Exynos Auto UA200, compatible with advanced security and precision distance measurement which is essential for modern connected cars and the related experience.
Following the successor Exynos Auto UA100, now Samsung’s semiconductor chip design division, announces a more advanced UWB chip for cars, the Exynos UA200. The newly announced chipset has Ultra-WideBand (UWB) connectivity to connected cars.
The Exynos Auto UA200 features advanced ranging capabilities with centimeter-level accuracy and robust security. Now, while using a car key fob, it can instantly detect your location concerning the car.
The chip is compatible with radar to monitor the driver’s respiratory rate and supports Child Presence Detection (CPD), which has become obligatory in European countries starting in 2025. It features 416KB SRAM, 2MP eFlash storage, six channels instead of the two found on its predecessor, and advanced security using Scrambled Timestamp Sequence (STS) technology that helps to encrypt the signal’s time data.
The UA200 includes a built-in tri-core Cortex-M33 microcontroller, a baseband block, a radio frequency (RF) block, NVM storage, and a Power Management Unit (PMU). Noticeably, the firm pushed the chip into being sampled to clients and could go into mass production soon.
