Valens Semiconductor Wins New MIPI A-PHY ADAS Design With Global Automotive OEM

07 January 2026 | NEWS

VA7000 chipsets to be deployed in premium vehicles for the Chinese market starting in 2027

Valens Semiconductor (NYSE: VLN), the high-performance connectivity company, announced a new design win for its VA7000 MIPI A-PHY-compliant chipsets, which will be integrated into the ADAS systems of a premium global automotive OEM serving the Chinese market. The announcement brings Valens to four A-PHY design wins globally and reinforces the connectivity standard as a frontrunner for next-generation ADAS and autonomous systems. 

The carmaker will integrate the VA7000 chipsets into its vehicles with a Start of Production (SoP) in 2027. MIPI A-PHY is the first standardised solution for high-speed sensor connectivity, and the only one with design wins across multiple silicon suppliers.

"We're thrilled to ring in the new year with another A-PHY design win in automotive," said Adar Segal, Head of Automotive Business at Valens Semiconductor. "As OEMs look to upgrade their ADAS and autonomous solutions, A-PHY is emerging as the key standards-based foundation for next-generation vehicle architectures. Valens continues to be widely recognised as the go-to silicon supplier for A-PHY, enabling OEMs and Tier 1s to confidently deploy this technology across their vehicle platforms."

At CES 2026, in a closed meeting room (#N231) at North Hall, LVCC, Valens showcases the evolving MIPI A-PHY ecosystem, with multiple A-PHY-enabled products on display.
