Allows Embedded Designers to Connect Multiple
Video Streams to Application Processors over a Single I/O
Channel
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), a leading
provider of customizable smart connectivity solutions, today
announced the availability of the first in a series of new
reference designs featuring the Lattice CrossLink™ FPGA for video
bridging applications. The MIPI CSI-2 Camera Aggregator Bridge
reference design provides customers with a template combining all
necessary IP and software needed to easily add CrossLink-based
video bridging solutions to applications using multiple image
sensors, including autonomous and ADAS-enabled cars, drones and
AR/VR headsets. With CrossLink, customers can consolidate multiple
video signals over one I/O port to reduce device size and power
consumption.
Many automotive, industrial and consumer applications use
multiple image, radar/lidar and other time-of-fight sensors to
capture data about their operating environment. All of these
sensors require a connection to the device’s application processor
(AP), but APs often have a limited number of I/O ports available.
Lattice CrossLink MIPI bridging FPGAs combine signals from multiple
MIPI CSI-2 compatible sensors into one CSI-2 output thanks to its
support for MIPI CSI-2 Virtual Channels, which have the ability to
combine data from dissimilar sensor sources into one channel.
CrossLink is an ideal video bridging solution for AR/VR headsets
and drones, where low power consumption and a small form factor are
critical, as well as for smart cars where video bridging can reduce
the car’s wire count and cost.
“The Lattice MIPI CSI-2 Camera Aggregator Bridge reference
design provides reference code and detailed instructions that
complement our software and IP,” said Tom Watzka, Applications
Engineer, Lattice Semiconductor. “The new reference design makes it
easy for embedded designers to implement a CrossLink video bridging
solution to aggregate up to five video signals into a single output
stream.”
The new CrossLink reference designs can be
