MIPI A-PHY: What's New, What's Next and the New Compliance Program
14 July 2026 | 9 a.m. (CEST), 3 p.m. (SGT)
Presented by the leaders of the MIPI A-PHY Working Group and A-PHY Compliance Program, this webinar will provide automotive engineers, product managers and other industry stakeholders valuable insights into both the MIPI A-PHY® specification and the framework to support its further adoption.
The session will begin with an overview of recent developments with MIPI’s high-speed, long-reach SerDes interface, including the upcoming release of A-PHY v2.1. It will also highlight key progress across the A-PHY ecosystem, from industry adoption and collaborations to emerging implementations.
The second part of the webinar will focus on the new MIPI A-PHY Compliance Program, outlining its structure, processes and benefits, and explaining how transmitter and receiver physical layer testing will enable reliable and scalable deployment of A-PHY-enabled devices within automotive architectures.
A live Q&A session with the speakers will conclude the event.
