3 Description
The TDA4VH TDA4AH TDA4VP TDA4AP processor family is based on the evolutionary Jacinto™ 7 architecture,
targeted at ADAS and Autonomous Vehicle (AV) applications and built on extensive market knowledge
accumulated over a decade of TI’s leadership in the ADAS processor market. The unique combination highperformance
compute, deep-learning engine, dedicated accelerators for signal and image processing in an
functional safety compliant targeted architecture make the TDA4VH TDA4AH TDA4VP TDA4AP devices a great
fit for several imaging, vision, radar, sensor fusion and AI applications such as: Robotics, Mobile machineries,
Off-highway vehicle controller, Machine Vision, AI BOX, Gateways, Retail automation, Medical Imaging, and
so on. The TDA4VH TDA4AH TDA4VP TDA4AP provides high performance compute for both traditional and
deep learning algorithms at industry leading power/performance ratios with a high level of system integration to
enable scalability and lower costs for advanced automotive platforms supporting multiple sensor modalities in
centralized ECUs or stand-alone sensors. Key cores include next generation DSP with scalar and vector cores,
dedicated deep learning and traditional algorithm accelerators, latest Arm and GPU processors for general
compute, an integrated next generation imaging subsystem (ISP), video codec, Ethernet hub and isolated MCU
island. All protected by automotive grade safety and security hardware accelerators.
Key Performance Cores Overview
The “C7x” next generation DSP combines TI’s industry leading DSP and EVE cores into a single higher
performance core and adds floating point vector calculation capabilities, enabling backward compatibility for
legacy code while simplifying software programming. The new “MMA” deep learning accelerator enables
performance up to 8 TOPS within the lowest power envelope in the industry when operating at the typical
automotive worst case junction temperature of 125°C. The dedicated ADAS/AV hardware accelerators provide
vision pre-processing plus distance and motion processing with no impact on system performance.
General Compute Cores and Integration Overview
Separate eight core cluster configuration of Arm® Cortex®-A72 facilitates multi-OS applications with minimal
need for a software hypervisor. Eight Arm® Cortex®-R5F subsystems enable low-level, timing critical processing
tasks to leave the Arm® Cortex®-A72’s unencumbered for applications. The integrated IMG BXS-64-4 GPU
offers up to 50 GFLOPS to enable dynamic 3D rendering for enhanced viewing applications. Building on the
existing world-class ISP, TI’s 7th generation ISP includes flexibility to process a broader sensor suite, support
for higher bit depth, and features targeting analytics applications. Integrated diagnostics and safety features
support operations up to ASIL-D/SIL-3 levels while the integrated security features protect data against modern
day attacks. To enable systems requiring heavy data bandwidth, a PCIe hub and Gigabit Ethernet switch are
included along with CSI-2 ports to support throughput for many sensor inputs. To further the integration, the
TDA4VH TDA4AH TDA4VP TDA4AP family also includes an MCU island eliminating the need for an external
system microcontroller.
