An Ultra-Wideband (UWB) SoC is set to change keyless entry, motion detection, and in-car safety. Will it impact the future of vehicles? Read on!

Qorvo has announced that its QPF5100Q Ultra-Wideband (UWB) System-on-Chip (SoC) is now automotive-qualified and available for sampling. This SoC meets industry demands for precise and reliable UWB technology in applications such as secure keyless entry, Digital Key, child presence detection, and motion sensing.
The SoC is designed to help automotive manufacturers and suppliers develop UWB-based applications. It is suitable for companies working on secure keyless entry, Digital Key systems, child presence detection, and motion sensing. Automotive designers can use its configurable software to tailor performance and differentiate their products.
The SoC integrates advanced UWB functionality with configurable software, allowing automotive designers to enhance performance and differentiate their products. Built on more than a decade of UWB innovation, it complies with strict automotive standards.
Currently undergoing Design Verification Testing (DVT) with leading automotive manufacturers, the QPF5100Q is expected to enter production later this year. It offers low-power operation and high integration, helping customers develop future-ready designs. Qorvo’s automotive UWB solutions are built on a scalable architecture that adapts to evolving industry standards.
President of Qorvo’s Connectivity and Sensors Group, Eric Creviston, said, “By offering configurable software, we empower our customers to innovate and compete more effectively, addressing critical needs in the automotive market and the next generation of UWB applications. Our commitment to support customer innovation in automotive technology is at the heart of this new SoC.”
