Valens Semiconductor will showcase in-vehicle connectivity
innovations for the automotive market, including a head-to-head EMC
shootout against the competition; the company will also display its
new award-winning USB3.2 extension for the videoconferencing,
industrial and medical imaging markets
HOD HASHARON, Israel, Jan. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Valens Semiconductor (NYSE: VLN), a leader in
high-performance connectivity, today announced that it will
showcase how its MIPI A-PHY compliant VA7000 chipset series
outperforms industry benchmarks in a variety of parameters, opening
the door for innovations in ADAS and autonomous driving. The
company will display live demonstrations of the high-performance
connectivity solution that will spotlight key benefits of the
chipset series, including:
- Resilient & flawless EMC performance – A
head-to-head EMC shootout against a competing proprietary solution,
highlighting the pressing issue of EMC as OEMs integrate systems
that require higher bandwidth than ever before.
- The longest reach in automotive – Extension of an
8MP camera for 40 meters over Coax cabling, far surpassing the
current industry benchmark of only 15 meters and demonstrating the
flexibility, scalability, and EMC robustness of A-PHY.
- Low-level sensor fusion – Featuring the centralized
processing of raw data from cameras, radars, and LiDARs for
unparalleled perception, enabled by A-PHY's advanced time
synchronization and fast Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) control
capabilities.
- The vast MIPI A-PHY ecosystem – An extensive
exhibit of more than twenty MIPI A-PHY-compliant products from
leading automotive Tier 1s and Tier 2s.
Valens Semiconductor will also feature its VS6320 chipset, the
first-to-market single-chip solution for professional-grade
extension of USB3.2, recognized as a CES® 2024 Innovation Awards
Honoree in the Embedded Technologies category for outstanding
design and engineering. The VS6320 is a high-performance and
efficient long-distance single-chip USB3.2 extension solution for
up to 100 meters/328 feet, addressing a critical need in the global
videoconferencing, information technology (IT), industrial and
medical markets.
Valens Semiconductor's high-performance connectivity technology
will be showcased at LVCC West Hall #W317.
"We've been telling the industry that our chips are the most
resilient on the market, but for the first time, at CES 2024,
everyone will be able to see the comparison for themselves," said
Gideon Ben Zvi, CEO of Valens
Semiconductor. "We're thrilled to see that the automotive
ecosystem is moving past proprietary analog-based technology to
MIPI's digital standard of the future. I, and the rest of the
Valens Semiconductor team, look forward to welcoming visitors to
our booth to learn about our latest innovative solutions."
Select quotes from our MIPI A-PHY partners whose products
will be on display at the Valens Semiconductor booth:
Kenji Onishi, Deputy Senior
General Manager, Automotive Business Division, Sony Semiconductor
Solutions Corporation: "Demand for image sensors that propel
connectivity and support the development of more advanced
automotive camera systems is on the rise. Furthermore,
interoperability between multiple vendor offerings is necessary for
the success of any standard. As market leaders, it is highly
important for Sony Semiconductor Solutions to introduce
cutting-edge technology into our image sensors, and MIPI A-PHY
serializer integration delivers significant cost and performance
benefits for our automotive customers."
Sam Qin, Vice General Manager
at Shanghai G-Pulse Electronics Technology, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Intron Technology Holdings: "At G-Pulse, our
mission is to foster the development of the automotive industry in
China with cutting-edge offerings.
We are highly impressed by Valens Semiconductor's VA7000 MIPI A-PHY
compliant chipsets, which address the increasing requirements for
safer and automated driving. Specifically, Valens Semiconductor's
high-performance connectivity solution will boost a new paradigm of
radar and camera sensor fusion."
Bill Pu, Co-Founder and
President of Leopard Imaging: "We recently partnered with
leading sensor vendors on MIPI A-PHY camera modules, as they were
impressed by the unprecedented reach, flawless EMC immunity and
noise tolerance provided. These benefits coupled with high
bandwidth, are poised to open the door for new applications and
industries. We are already seeing interest from our partners for
A-PHY, and we expect long-term demand to build up for machine
vision-based industries."
Katsunori Nogami, Senior
Executive Officer and CTO at Nippon Chemi-Con: "Nippon
Chemi-Con foresees growing demand for the MIPI A-PHY standard as
the foundation for robust high-resolution ADAS systems. That is why
we realized the great importance in embedding Valens' VA7000's
A-PHY compliant chipsets in our new camera modules, towards
adoption by our leading automotive customers."
