Insights
Microchip strengthens market position by leading ASA-ML standardization for ADAS cameras, opening revenue opportunities in Japanese automotive sector.
This partnership represents a strategic positioning move by Microchip in the rapidly evolving automotive camera connectivity market. By creating the first ASA-ML camera development ecosystem specifically for Japanese OEMs, Microchip is establishing itself as the go-to provider during a critical industry transition away from proprietary connectivity solutions.
The collaboration with Nippon Chemi-Con and NetVision addresses several key market pain points. Japanese automotive manufacturers have been hampered by proprietary protocols that limit interoperability and scalability—precisely when ADAS camera implementations are accelerating due to safety regulations and autonomous driving development. By offering an open, standardized solution based on the ASA-ML specification (supported by over 150 industry members), Microchip provides OEMs with the multi-vendor flexibility they desperately need to mitigate supply chain risks.
What makes this particularly valuable is the timing advantage. As the first company to market with an ASA-ML chipset through their VSI acquisition, Microchip is leveraging first-mover advantage to capture market share during this transition period. The VS775S serializer/deserializer offers asymmetric and scalable bandwidth that's increasingly essential for data-intensive ADAS applications, while also incorporating hardware-based security features necessary for emerging cybersecurity regulations.
The ecosystem approach—combining Nippon Chemi-Con's camera module and NetVision's development tools—creates a complete solution that lowers adoption barriers and accelerates implementation timelines for Japanese OEMs. This comprehensiveness increases the likelihood of Microchip's technology becoming the de facto standard in this region, potentially leading to sustained revenue streams as camera-based ADAS systems continue proliferating in vehicles.
Ecosystem’s camera module and development tools are based on Microchip’s VS700 family of serializers and deserializers and will help Japanese OEMs speed ASA-ML adoption in ADAS applications
CHANDLER, Ariz., July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- An automotive industry transition is underway to replace proprietary camera connectivity with solutions based on the open and interoperable Automotive Serdes Alliance Motion Link (ASA-ML) standard driven by over 150 member companies worldwide. To simplify and accelerate the adoption of ASA-ML for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), Microchip TechnologyÌý(Nasdaq: MCHP)Ìýhas partnered with camera module supplier Nippon Chemi-Con Corporation and video-testing solution provider NetVision Co. Ltd. to deliver the first ASA-ML camera-development platform of its kind that brings the standard’s scalable high-speed asymmetric data rates to the Japanese automotive market while supporting critical hardware-based link-layer security to meet emerging automotive cybersecurity regulations.
“We were first to market with an ASA-ML chipset through our acquisition of VSI, and now we have collaborated with pioneers like Nippon Chemi-Con and NetVision to deliver the first camera development ecosystem that reduces risk and speeds ASA-ML adoption for Japanese OEMs,� said Kevin So, vice president of Microchip’s communications business unit. “Nippon Chemi-Con’s CDTrans camera module and NetVision’s NV061 development emulation board are both based on our VS775S single-port serializer/deserializer device, further demonstrating the industry’s commitment to a standardized ASA-ML solution for Japanese automotive OEMs as they embrace the rapid growth of camera-based ADAS systems driven by the need for safety and convenience.�
“We are excited to collaborate with an automotive semiconductor market leader like Microchip in offering Japanese OEMs another important first with our new CDTrans ASA-ML-based automotive camera module that is integrated with the VS775S serializer,� said Katsunori Nogami, managing executive officer, chief technology officer with Nippon Chemi-Con. “We recognize the importance and benefit of open standards-based connectivity technologies like ASA-ML that automotive Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs need for interoperable multi-vendor solutions. This collaboration is a key step in accelerating ASA-ML adoption for next-generation ADAS camera systems in Japan’s rapidly evolving SDV landscape. Combined with NetVision’s well recognized camera test and emulation platform, our camera module will enable cross-vendor compatibility, future-proof scalability, and a pathway beyond closed systems.�
“Partnering with Microchip and Nippon Chemi-Con on this new ASA-ML ecosystem platform will help realize a standardized and scalable electrical/electronic in-vehicle networking architecture for Japan’s SDV era,� said Kenji Kudo, Ph.D., engineering department director at NetVision. “Our development of a VS775S based ASA-ML serializer connection board coupled to our unique camera emulation development platform for ADAS ECUs will help remove a key barrier to adoption for many Japanese OEMs and Tier 1s who have been hampered by proprietary connectivity protocols that limit interoperability and scalability. We look forward to continued collaboration on advancing the ASA-ML ecosystem.�
Industry leaders including BMW, Ford, Volvo, GM, Continental, Bosch, Denso and Microchip and numerous other semiconductor companies are among the dozens of ASA-ML members helping to industrialize and promote ASA-ML adoption. These and other member companies represent the complete automotive ecosystem, including car manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, semiconductor vendors, cable and connector manufacturers, test tool vendors, and test houses. OEMs adopting camera solutions based on a new standard like ASA-ML require development tools, emulation platforms and broad supply chain support.
single port ASA-ML serializer/deserializer solves this problem through its standards-compliant, asymmetric and scalable-bandwidth video support that enables Nippon Chemi-Con to create an ecosystem-ready camera module for the Japanese automotive market. The camera emulation and development platform from NetVision also takes advantage of the Microchip VS775S to further simplify development and verification by enabling efficient evaluation of video signal quality during the design of camera modules and Engine Control Units (ECUs). The platform enables video signals to be captured in real-time leveraging Microchip’s VS775S evaluation board.
Multi-vendor solutions have become a critical priority for managing supply-chain risk across the automotive industry. OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers seek greater sourcing flexibility and long-term operational resilience. This is especially true for L2 and L2+ autonomous-level applications, which are integrating an increasing number of cameras and sensors into vehicles. These trends further amplify the need for scalable, architecturally flexible, interoperable, multi-vendor and high-bandwidth connectivity solutions that eliminate the shortcomings of closed, single-vendor ecosystems in an evolving landscape.
Microchip will be demonstrating this camera/capture card at the , Kyoto International Conference Center Annex Hall, Kyoto, Japan, July 3-4.
