STMicroelectronics Launches VD56GA Infrared Sensor for In-Car Driver Monitoring

STMicroelectronics introduced the ST SafeSense VD56GA, a 1.1-megapixel infrared image sensor for in-cabin driver and passenger monitoring cameras, on September 14. The company says the sensor's stronger infrared imaging lets carmakers pair it with cheaper lenses, simpler infrared lighting and lighter filtering, and skip a separate image-processing chip, trimming cost across the whole camera module; sharpness is up 35% and infrared sensitivity up nearly 60% from the previous generation. An analyst at Yole Group expects driver and occupant monitoring volumes to top 70 million units by 2031, and STMicroelectronics said earlier this year it shipped its 10 millionth SafeSense automotive image sensor. The launch follows second-quarter revenue of $3.49 billion, up 26.0% from a year earlier, with third-quarter guidance of about $3.70 billion at the midpoint, though operating margin under U.S. GAAP was only 5.4% and the power and discrete segment lost $99 million at the operating level. The company has not named any automakers or suppliers committed to the chip, and management's case for faster fourth-quarter growth centers on AI datacenters and satellite communication programs rather than this sensor.

Vicor Licenses VPD AI Power Technology to Leading OEM

Vicor Corporation granted a non-exclusive license to a leading AI original equipment manufacturer for its patented Vertical Power Delivery technology, allowing the OEM to source VPD modules from both Vicor and unlicensed suppliers. The deal touches Vicor's key near-term catalyst of IP monetization while highlighting its dependence on licensing and enforcement outcomes. The licensing approach, combined with Vicor's patented VPD architecture that tackles the last inch problem in powering high-performance AI processors, could materially influence how hyperscalers structure their power-delivery supply chains. Vicor's narrative projects $1.4 billion in revenue and $453.8 million in earnings by 2029, with a $386.25 fair value implying 73% upside, while the most bullish analysts had already counted on roughly 48.7% annual revenue growth and earnings near US$486.1 million by 2029. The company's purchase of large sites in Merrimack and Hooksett to build ChiP Fab 2 and Fab 3 ties closely to the VPD deal, as expanded U.S. manufacturing could support module demand and supply chain redundancy even as underutilization risk and fixed cost pressure remain central issues.
