Designed to meet ISO-26262 standards with a safety level of ASIL-B(D) .
While the EyeQ4 remains a staple for Level 2+ and tri-cam front-facing ADAS applications, Mobileye has continued to evolve its product line. For even more advanced autonomous use cases (Level 3 to Level 5), the ecosystem has expanded to include higher-tier processors.
This miniature form factor allows the EyeQ4 to be embedded directly into compact, windshield-mounted camera units without obstructing the driver's view or interfering with vehicle ergonomics. Real-World Automotive Capabilities
Two cores more versatile than GPUs and more efficient than CPUs. PMA (Programmable Macro Array): eyeq4 datasheet
28nm FinFET (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company - TSMC) Typical: 3W – 5W (highly efficient for passive cooling) CPU Architecture 4x MIPS I6500 (Multi-threaded, multi-core cluster) Memory Support Dual-channel LPDDR4 / LPDDR4X (up to 4266 MT/s) Video Input Up to 8 concurrent camera streams via MIPI CSI-2 Display Output
isn't just another chip; it's the silicon brain that moved Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) from simple warnings to near-autonomous "safety cocoons". Launched in 2018, this System-on-Chip (SoC) provides a staggering 10x more processing power
If you are currently integrating this chip or designing a system around it, Designed to meet ISO-26262 standards with a safety
The datasheet recommends a 4-layer PCB with at least 6 thermal vias under the exposed die pad for conduction to chassis ground.

Designed from the ground up to meet ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) standards. Hardware failure detection mechanisms, such as error-correcting code (ECC) on all internal memories and registers, catch potential data corruption.
The hardware architecture is purpose-built to accelerate Mobileye’s proprietary software stack, which includes:
The EyeQ4 datasheet highlights several key features that make it an attractive solution for ADAS and autonomous driving applications:
