Valens(NYSE :VLN), a global leader in high-speed connectivity solutions for the AV and automotive markets, and Leopard, a leader in the design and manufacture of embedded vision systems Imaging has announced A collaboration to design a camera module that will enable Oems and Tier 1 suppliers to significantly reduce time to market for their A-PHY-compliant systems.
The A-PHY standard for high-speed in-car video connectivity has been developing rapidly in the industry since it was released by the MIPI Alliance in September 2020. In 2021, the IEEE Standards Society made A-PHY one of its own standards, and major automotive companies have been planning to add it to their next-generation solutions. Today, A large number of Oems, tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers are evaluating Valens' A-PHY compliant VA7000 chipset for use in their Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) platforms.
As A partner with Valens, a leading supplier of automotive system-level chips, vision, ADAS and autonomous driving systems for Leopard Imaging machines will be committed to meeting A-PHY standards. The new product will further simplify the integration of the MIPI A-PHY and Valens VA7000 chipsets in cars and is the first finished A-PHY camera module on the market. The camera module contains an advanced automotive sensor, and Leopard Imaging will offer A module with an A-PHY unstring board that connects to a standard processor-based computing unit. The company plans to add additional sensors and drivers to support other processors to meet market demand, all of which are connected to Valens' VA7000 chipset.
Gideon Kedem, Senior Vice President and Head of Automotive at Valens, said: "The MIPI A-PHY ecosystem is gaining momentum in the market. Leopard Imaging is the global market leader in image-based systems for automotive and machine vision, and we believe Leopard Imaging's new modules will help drive market adoption of ADAS and autonomous driving solutions based on the A-PHY standard."
Bill Pu, CEO of Leopard Imaging, said: "There is A strong market demand for MIPI A-PHY based solutions, so it was important for us to work with Valens and integrate the capabilities of their VA7000 A-PHY chipset into our camera module portfolio. The new connectivity standard brings breakthroughs in a number of key technologies – including bandwidth, link distance and electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistance – all of which we are excited about, and which will be of great interest to our automotive customers and partners."
