ASA was launched to reflect the need of a communication standard for mainly camera and display applications especially for the Automotive industry. Main participants are experts out of the Automotive industry.
Membership in the Alliance is open to any legal entity willing and able to support the purpose of the Alliance according to the Articles and the Annexes of the Automotive SerDes Alliance. Membership gives your company access to all ASA specifications, working groups and benefits like:
Integration
By focusing the industry on a common SerDes communication technology, manufacturers of complex products such as microcontrollers or graphics controllers can rely on one industry standard interface.
Ecosystem
In addition to the pure transmission technology, which is mainly integrated in the PHY, other components for use in the vehicle are of utmost importance. For example, ASA specifies the channel parameters, so that a valid ecosystem for cables and connectors is available to the implementers. Furthermore, to further the ecosystem, ASA not only provides the transceiver interoperability test specification, it also provides test specifications for channel components, physical layer tests on chip and ECU level, and EMC tests.
Interoperability
By providing all relevant interoperability and test specifications to the members, a large variety of interoperable devices can be created by different companies. All companies active in the automotive industry are invited to become a member of ASA and participate in the technical committees to further improve the technology.
