Valens Semiconductor Announces That It Hosted Interoperability Testing With Seven Other Vendors Of MIPI A-PHY Silicon; Testing Is A Key Step Towards Broad Adoption Of A-PHY In China

Valens Semiconductor (NYSE:VLN) today announced that it hosted successful interoperability testing with seven other vendors of MIPI A-PHY silicon: Analogix, ESWIN Technology, Motorcomm, OmniVision Technologies, Silergy, SimChip, and Velink. The testing is a key step towards broad adoption of A-PHY in China, where there is already a particularly robust ecosystem of companies developing products around this technology, and signals significant momentum of this technology for the global automotive industry.

MIPI A-PHY is the first standard in the automotive industry for in-vehicle asymmetric high-speed connectivity. Valens is a leader in MIPI A-PHY, offering the first chipsets on the market to comply with the standard and the first to achieve design wins with OEMs.

Achieving interoperability is a pivotal milestone in the establishment of an industry standard, backed by a strong ecosystem. This type of standard would increase supply chain security and decrease dependency on vendor pricing. As part of the weeks-long interoperability testing, which took place across multiple events, Valens established A-PHY links with all vendors, indicating strong product maturity for A-PHY silicon.
