Valens Semiconductor's VS6320 chipset is designed to
seamlessly and efficiently extend USB3.2 Gen1
peripherals
Engineering samples to select customers
shipping in fourth quarter 2023
HOD HASHARON, Israel, Nov. 1, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Valens Semiconductor (NYSE: VLN), a premier
provider of high-performance connectivity solutions for the
audio-video and automotive markets, today announced the launch of
the VS6320 chipset, a USB3.2 Gen1 extension solution. Valens
Semiconductor's VS6320 provides a high-performance and efficient
long-distance single-chip extension solution that addresses a
critical need in the global videoconferencing, information
technology (IT), industrial and medical markets. As planned, Valens
will start shipping engineering samples to select customers in the
fourth quarter of 2023, advancing the company's long-term vision to
transform digital experiences worldwide with its extensive product
portfolio.
USB3.2 has emerged as the go-to interface for devices used in
videoconferencing and IT and is increasingly being used in
industrial and medical applications. Customers deploying the highly
integrated chipset in their products will benefit from a resilient,
long-distance, reduced power consumption, smaller size, and
lower-cost solution supporting all USB3.2 Gen1 data transfer
types.
"The increasing demand for higher bandwidth for USB peripherals
in videoconferencing, IT, industrial and medical applications is
driving fast adoption of the USB3.2 standard globally across
verticals," said Gabi Shriki,
SVP, Head of Audio-Video at Valens Semiconductor. "Valens
Semiconductor's VS6320 is addressing a significant market need, by
extending USB3.2 peripherals efficiently, at much lower cost and
power, compared with alternatives. Several Valens Semiconductor
customers are already engaged in embedding the VS6320 into their
products, and we expect to start ramping revenues during the second
half of 2024. I believe Valens Semiconductor is well positioned to
capture a substantial share over the coming years also in this new
untapped market of high-performance USB extension."
"Legrand | AV's global brands work together to leverage emerging
technologies like the new VS6320 platform for long-reach USB 3.0
solutions," said Timothy Troast,
VP – Technology & Product Strategy at Legrand | AV. "We're
excited to have the opportunity to add value to this platform for
the Audio-Video and IT communities through our C2G and Vaddio
portfolios by providing reliable extension of USB 3.2 connections
in hybrid classrooms and meeting rooms of all sizes."
Valens Semiconductor's VS6320 provides extension of
high-performance USB3.2 Gen1 peripherals at up to 100 meters/328
feet over category cable. It supports both USB3 (Superspeed 5Gbps)
and USB2 (480Mbps), all types of USB transfer protocols (BULK, ISO,
INT, Control), as well as dedicated control signals (UART, GPIO)
over category cables. The VS6320 is set to comply with the upcoming
HDBaseT-USB3 standard.
Valens Semiconductor's VS6320 can be leveraged for the extension
of USB3 in applications such as high-resolution cameras, storage
devices, as well as in recording and streaming devices. For
example, in medical applications, it can be used for extending
high-quality images from medical cameras to video processing units
in surgery rooms, or for robotics-assisted guided surgery systems.
Valens Semiconductor will be demonstrating the VS6320 at MEDICA
2023, November 13-16, (Dusseldorf, Germany), Hall 16/J24. To schedule
a meeting, contact us through our website.
