Insights
Valens' VA7000 chipsets power first commercial MIPI A-PHY platform, expanding market reach in industrial and embedded vision applications.
Valens Semiconductor has achieved a significant market milestone with its VA7000 chipsets being integrated into D3 Embedded's new camera-to-processor MIPI A-PHY platform - the first product-ready solution for implementing this high-performance connectivity standard in embedded vision systems.
This development represents a strategic expansion of Valens' addressable market beyond its traditional automotive and audiovisual segments into industrial automation, robotics, and medical imaging applications. The MIPI A-PHY standard, which Valens helped develop, offers critical advantages for embedded vision systems: exceptional EMI resilience, long-distance data transmission (up to 30 meters), and compatibility with lower-cost unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling.
D3's platform integrates NVIDIA Jetson Orin processors with 8 A-PHY input ports operating at 8Gbps (7.2Gbps net) alongside Sony ISX031 sensors in the camera units. This creates a comprehensive ecosystem that significantly lowers barriers to A-PHY adoption for industrial customers seeking reliable high-speed connectivity in harsh environments.
The industrial-grade implementation, including optional IP69K ruggedized enclosures for cameras, positions this solution for deployment in demanding environments where conventional connectivity solutions struggle. Most importantly, this commercial platform validates Valens' technology in a new market segment and creates a ready-made implementation path for potential customers, potentially accelerating adoption of Valens' chipsets across multiple industries beyond their current core markets.
Product suite, including Nvidia processors and Sony sensors, are available for sale on the D3 Embedded website.
