Valens Semiconductor to Present its Award-Winning High-Performance Connectivity Solutions at CES 2024

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

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.”
