Precision LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensing systems have use cases that extend beyond automotive industry. Industrial robots, drones, farm equipment, UAVs, and other autonomous applications are increasingly employing LiDAR-based technology for self-guiding functionality.
The AD‐FMCLIDAR1‐EBZ prototyping platform from Analog Devices is designed to reduce customer system development time and shorten the path to a working prototype. The modular approach gives customers flexibility to swap in/out various components and still use the base platform. With an industry compatible connector the customer can choose their preferred FPGA platform.

The Software framework is common across all hardware variants, developed with industry standard tools and interfaces. The necessary parameters are exposed for customers to develop their own proprietary solutions. Support is provided to cover a broad base of operating systems used across different industry areas. There is a proven ADI JESD framework available to reduce development complexity and time and guarantees deterministic transfer of data from the APD to the host processing system.
