Description

The ADAL6110-16 is a light detection and ranging (LIDAR)signal processor IC that supports simultaneous capture of up to16 channels. Each channel is integrated with a 16-bit analog todigital converter (ADC) to measure the optical return signal.The ADAL6110-16 stores the captured waveforms to staticrandom access memory (SRAM) storage. The data outputreadout and functional configuration of the LIDAR signalprocessor occurs over a 4-wire serial port interface (SPI).The LIDAR signal processor features a dc balance control toreject signal offset and corruption due to modulated interference,eliminating the need for external dc cancellation circuitry. Inaddition, the LIDAR signal processor has a built-in automaticgain control (AGC) that modifies the gain of the system toensure the signal of interest is automatically scaled to themeasurement range.The ADAL6110-16 simplifies the traditional multichannelLIDAR system implementation by integrating the transimpedanceamplifier (TIA), gain and sampling stages, as well as providingthe transmitter fire signal, all of which are managed by on-chipcontrol logic. No external components are required between thephotodiodes and the TIA interface of each channel in theLIDAR signal processor.Applications Autonomous systems collision avoidance Corridor mapping Dynamic suspension and flight control Drone altitude monitoring Industrial distance measurement Mounted safety curtain systems Parking spot monitoring Blind spot detection
