RoboSense EOCENE SPAD-SoC
RoboSense EOCENE is a proprietary system-on-chip (SoC) architecture from the Chinese manufacturer RoboSense (速腾聚创; HKEX: 2498), designed for digital LiDAR. Its core idea is integrating a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array together with the receive and signal-processing pipeline on a single chip, enabling digital single-photon counting instead of a classic analog detection path.
On the EOCENE architecture RoboSense built two chipsets: Phoenix and Peacock. The Peacock chip — using, per the manufacturer, a second-generation 3D stacking technology — performs simultaneous signal reception and processing with real-time point-cloud output. Peacock is used in the mass-produced, fully solid-state E2 LiDAR.
The architecture was unveiled by RoboSense alongside its H1 2026 interim results (26 August 2026). Both the SPAD-SoC and the accompanying VCSEL in the E2 LiDAR carry AEC-Q102 automotive-grade qualification.

Technical specification
What RoboSense EOCENE SPAD-SoC can detect and measure in its environment
Time of Flight is the most widely used measurement method in LiDAR sensors. Distance is determined by measuring the time required for a laser pulse to travel to an object and return to the receiver. This approach is broadly used in robotics, autonomy, mapping, and spatial perception systems.
