Texas Instruments Unveils Edge AI SoCs, 4D Radar, and 10BASE-T1S Ethernet at CES 2026 for Autonomous Vehicles

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced new automotive semiconductors, including the scalable TDA5 high-performance computing system-on-a-chip (SoC) family, the AWR2188 single-chip eight-by-eight 4D imaging radar transceiver, and the DP83TD555J-Q1 10BASE-T1S Ethernet physical layer (PHY). These devices join TI's automotive portfolio for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The products debut at CES 2026, Jan. 6-9, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mark Ng, director of automotive systems at TI, stated: "The automotive industry is moving toward a future where driving doesn’t require hands on the wheel. Semiconductors are at the heart of bringing this vision of safer, smarter and more autonomous driving experiences to every vehicle. From detection and communication to decision-making, engineers can use TI's end-to-end system offering to innovate what's next in automotive."

The TDA5 SoC family provides power- and safety-optimized processing with edge AI acceleration ranging from 10 trillion operations per second (TOPS) to 1200 TOPS, achieving power efficiency beyond 24 TOPS/W.
