Valens Semiconductor Ltd. announced that it will be showcasing its automotive product suite and how it is transforming high-speed sensor connectivity at AutoSens Brussels 2023. The two companies will jointly showcase a demonstration dedicated to a new generation of centralized radars and sensor fusion capabilities for Advanced-Driver-Assistance-Systems (ADAS), with Valens Semiconductor?s VA7000 chipsets embedded in SRS? Software Defined Imaging Radar.

The combined solution presents the automotive industry with significant advantages such as the use of substantially smaller radars and lower power consumption. It enables implementing a centralized processing radar, which is substantially more efficient and accurate than the traditional processing done at the edge device today. The VA7000?s A-PHY-compliant link that enables transferring high bandwidth data and controls, as well as an increased link reach, is an optimal solution for realizing the vision of central radar processing and sensor fusion.

To be showcased by Valens Semiconductor at AutoSens Brussels 2023: Realizing the vision of centralized processing architecture for radars. Demonstrated at the show is an SRS radar aggregating raw data from 4 radar sensors (MMICs), over a single A-PHY link, to the centralized ECU. The MMIC's are controlled over the VA7000?s fast SPI interface, which supports an exceptional bitrate of up to 40Mbps.

These advanced fast control capabilities have been an industry barrier in its quest to centralized radar processing. Advanced time synchronization for superior driver monitoring. With a high-performance, highly configurable PWM (Pulse-width modulation) embedded within the VA7000 chipset series, Valens Semiconductor?s solution synchronizes between camera sensors and infra-red light, allowing for a cost-effective implementation of driver monitoring systems compared to competing solutions that require external programmable components.

A comprehensive set of demonstrations from companies in the expanding ecosystem for the MIPI A-PHY compliant VA7000 chipset series. This group will include Tier-1s, camera sensor companies, radar, LiDAR and ECU suppliers, component manufacturers, and testing equipment companies that are serving the growing demand for increased safety in today?s and tomorrow?s cars.
