"The Mobileye EyeQ System-on-Chip (SoC) offers a solution for computationally intensive, real-time visual recognition and scene interpretation applications that can be customized for use in intelligent vehicle systems. The chip architecture is designed to maximize cost performance by executing a full-fledged application on a single ultra-low-cost chip. An example of such an application is low-cost Adaptive Cruise Control using a single video source. The EyeQ system detects vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians, and road markings to provide an intelligent driver-assistance system.
AAI performed for us the RTL to GDSII implementation, as well as RTL development of the 2 ARM CPU and AHB system and IP integration and provided support for testing and package development in 292 HSBGA of an ASIC device with the following specs:
Random gates: 2m Gates
Memories: 2Mbits SRAM with Redundancy, divided in 40 cuts
Major IPs: 2 ARM946 cores with 16KB I-Cache and 16 KB D-Cache, PLL, SDRAM controller, DMA controller, CAN controller, I2C controller and more
Technology: TSMC 0.18u, 6LM
Performance: 110 Mhz
Package: 292 HSBGA

AAI also supported us with two additional tape-outs; one with several mask changes and the second with full mask changes.
AAI is very professional and familiar with VLSI aspects like front-end design, including the Design For Test (DFT) and the architecture, back-end - including all the physical implementation, after silicon design processes - including testing, packaging and production. They acted as a Mobileye design team for me and worked in complete synchronization with the Mobileye design team."
