New SubLVDS to MIPI CSI-2 Image Sensor Bridge
reference design helps machine vision and robotics applications
leverage advanced application processors
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power
programmable leader, today announced the availability of the latest
in a series of new reference designs featuring the Lattice
CrossLink™ FPGA for video bridging applications. The SubLVDS to
MIPI CSI-2 Image Sensor Bridge reference design provides industrial
device customers with a flexible, easy-to-implement solution for
connecting advanced application processors (APs) with many of the
image sensors currently used in today’s machine vision applications
for industrial environments.
Many industrial machine vision applications use image sensors
with SubLVDS interface, which is incompatible with the MIPI CSI-2
D-PHY interface used on today’s APs. However, many industrial
device OEMs want to implement these APs in existing machine
vision-capable products. The Lattice SubLVDS to MIPI CSI-2 Image
Sensor Bridge reference design lets customers quickly and easily
create a bridging solution so an AP with a MIPI CSI-2 interface can
connect with a SubLVDS image sensor.
“In industrial environments, customers are interested in
upgrading legacy machine vision applications to take advantage of
the processing capabilities and feature sets of new APs,” said
Peiju Chiang, Product Marketing Manager, Lattice Semiconductor.
“Rather than devote precious time and engineering resources on an
extensive device redesign, the Lattice CrossLink SubLVDS to MIPI
CSI-2 Image Sensor Bridge reference design provides a simple
workaround that addresses legacy interface compatibility issues to
get redesigned products to market quickly and cost
effectively.”
The Lattice SubLVDS to MIPI CSI-2 Image Sensor Bridge reference
design is free and is provided to demonstrate the use of Lattice’s
popular CrossLink modular IPs, including the Pixel-to-Byte
Converter, SubLVDS Image Sensor Receiver and a CSI-2/DSI D-PHY
Transmitter. Lattice also provides a complete, easy to use
GUI-based FPGA design and verification software environment,
Diamond® design software, to simplify and accelerate device
development.
Other key features include:
- 4, 6, 8, or 10 lane SubLVDS input to 1, 2, or 4 lane MIPI CSI-2
output
- Up to 1.2 Gbps bandwidth per input lane
- Up to 1.5 Gbps bandwidth per output lane
- Dynamic parameter setting via I2C
- Optional support for image cropping
