Valens Semiconductor has clinched 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 chipsets are slated for integration into the OEM’s advanced driver-assistance systems, with production set to begin in 2027. This milestone underscores Valens’ leadership in A-PHY connectivity: the VA7000 is now the only solution with multiple silicon-supplier wins across all major regions. According to Adar Segal, Head of Automotive Business, the company’s silicon is increasingly viewed by OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers as the de facto standard for next-generation vehicle architectures.

In collaboration with Sakae Riken Kogyo Co., Valens introduced the industry’s first production-ready MIPI A-PHY–enabled electronic mirror at CES 2026. Powered by the VA7000 chipset and a Nippon Chemi-Con A-PHY camera, the e-mirror delivers ten times more imaging data than legacy camera-monitoring solutions, streaming 1,920×1,536 resolution at 60 frames per second. Kensuke Osawa, General Manager of Digital Product Development at Sakae Riken, highlighted the sharpness and low-latency performance made possible by Valens’ high-bandwidth, EMI-resilient link. The product will be demonstrated in a closed suite (#N231) at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

At CES 2026, Valens will exhibit multiple A-PHY–enabled products to illustrate the rapid maturation of the MIPI A-PHY ecosystem. In addition to the Sakae Riken e-mirror, attendees can view prototypes from sensor, module and IP developers leveraging the VA7000 chipset. With four global design wins and production launches scheduled over the next 18 months, Valens expects A-PHY to become the standard backbone for high-speed sensor connectivity in both ADAS and autonomous vehicle architectures.
