Samsung announces its most advanced UWB chip for cars

Samsung has announced its most advanced UWB chip for cars — the Exynos Auto UA200.

The company claims that the Exynos Auto UA200 offers advanced distance measurement capabilities with centimeter accuracy and powerful security. Using a chip in the key, it can determine your location relative to the car.

The chip is able to work with radars to monitor the driver's respiratory rate and supports the Child Presence Detection (CPD) system, which will become mandatory in Europe from 2025. The Exynos Auto UA200 also received Scrambled Timestamp Sequence (STS) technology for encrypting the signal's temporal data.

The chip contains an embedded Cortex-M33 tri-core microcontroller, a base unit, a radio frequency (RF) unit, NVM memory, and a power management unit (PMU). The chip also has 416 KB of SRAM and 2 MB of eFlash memory.

The Exynos Auto UA200 is currently in the testing phase. Mass production of the chip will begin soon.
