Valens Semiconductor has achieved its fourth global design win for the VA7000 MIPI A-PHY-compliant chipset, this time with a premium automotive OEM targeting the Chinese market. The VA7000 will be integrated into the OEM’s advanced driver assistance systems, with a scheduled start of production in 2027. This win brings Valens’ total A-PHY design wins to four, reinforcing its position as the leading silicon supplier for next-generation in-vehicle connectivity. Investors should note that volume shipments of VA7000-based modules are expected to ramp in late 2027, representing a new revenue stream that could contribute up to mid-single-digit millions in annual sales by 2028, based on industry analysts’ estimates.

At CES 2026, Valens will feature multiple A-PHY-enabled products in a closed meeting room, including the VA7000 chipset and partner demonstrations. This presentation highlights collaborations across the MIPI A-PHY ecosystem—encompassing silicon vendors, camera suppliers and Tier-1 module integrators—and underscores Valens’ role in driving adoption. By fostering these partnerships, Valens aims to accelerate design wins beyond the current four, targeting a pipeline of at least eight OEM projects by the end of 2026. The company’s leadership in the standard positions it to capitalize on the projected 40% annual growth in high-speed automotive sensor connectivity through 2030.
