Hosiden Collaborates with Valens and Joins the Expanding MIPI A-PHY Ecosystem
Japan's Hosiden Corporation has collaborated with Valens Semiconductor, joining the Expanding MIPI A-PHY Ecosystem. Valens Semiconductor, a provider of high-speed connectivity solutions for the automotive and audio-video markets announced the completion of validation of Hosiden Corporation's connectors and cables with Valens Semiconductor's VA7000 chipset, the first in the industry MIPI A-PHY-compliant chipset family. This new milestone further demonstrates the strong momentum the MIPI A-PHY standard and the VA7000 are gaining in the automotive market in Japan. The Japanese global provider, Hosiden is focused on safety, supporting Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements, and reducing the weight of the car body.
Due to harness density and length, today's car architecture has been pushed to its limits of space, weight, and complexity. The ability to use unshielded cables and low-cost simple connectors in a plug and play format using Valens Semiconductor VA7000 MIPI A-PHY compliant chipsets delivers reduced total system cost and an efficient solution for car makers.
"We are happy that Hosiden has joined the growing MIPI A-PHY ecosystem in Japan. This is an important milestone and follows the validation by the Japan Automotive Software Platform and Architecture (JASPAR) organization of the MIPI A-PHY specification for its network of Japanese OEMs and Tier 1s announced just a few months earlier," said Gideon Kedem, Senior Vice President and Head of Automotive at Valens Semiconductor. "Valens Semiconductor's VA7000 offers an unmatched combination of high-speed connectivity, bandwidth, enhanced EMC, and error free links with fundamentally zero latency, all of which are key to the evolution of ADAS and in-vehicle time sensitive applications."
"We are excited to be part of the innovative MIPI A-PHY ecosystem, which we believe will be an important step in Hosiden's journey as we pursue the development of growth markets and customers on a global scale, by proposing new products and technologies enabled by this advanced standard," said Mr. Hayato Kondo, R&D Section Manager at Hosiden Corporation. "We intend to continue to support our customers through highly original technologies and high-value-added products, which meet the growing demands for ADAS. As a manufacturer of automotive electronic equipment components, our collaboration with Valens Semiconductor will enable us to boost our focus on ADAS, support EMC requirements, and lower cars' weight, by allowing us to deploy coax cables and connectors."
