Demonstrating seamless ASA-ML interoperability, Microchip and AVIVA Links advance open-standard connectivity for next-generation automotive systems.
Microchip Technology and AVIVA Links have achieved a major milestone in automotive networking by successfully demonstrating interoperability between their ASA Motion Link (ASA-ML) chipsets, marking a significant step towards open-standard connectivity across the industry.
The collaboration validates that ASA-ML chipsets from multiple vendors can operate seamlessly together, reinforcing the Automotive SerDes Alliance’s (ASA) vision of a robust, multi-vendor ecosystem. This breakthrough accelerates the automotive industry’s move away from proprietary SerDes solutions towards open, standardised communication frameworks essential for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) applications.
The announcement comes as AVIVA Links enters into a definitive agreement to be acquired by NXP Semiconductors, further highlighting industry confidence in the ASA-ML standard. With over 175 members—including major OEMs such as BMW, Ford, GM, Hyundai Kia, Stellantis and Volvo—the Automotive SerDes Alliance is driving rapid adoption of the technology across next-generation vehicle platforms.
Kevin So, vice president of Microchip’s communications business unit, said the achievement “highlights the benefits of a multi-source, open standards approach” and gives manufacturers “the confidence to design scalable, robust and secure ADAS architectures around ASA-ML.”
Supporting asymmetric high-speed transmission up to 16 Gbps, ASA-ML provides the scalability and interoperability required for the growing number of cameras, sensors and displays in modern vehicles. This successful interoperability demonstration underscores the maturity and readiness of the ASA-ML ecosystem to support future automotive innovation.
