Bridging Solution for Sony image sensors – Lattice Semiconductor has created a reference design that bridges serial Sub-LVDS interface to MIPI CSI-2, thus allowing designers to connect Sony image sensors with most off-the-shelf Image Signal Processors (ISP) or Application Processors (AP).
Achieve higher bandwidths – Achieve higher imaging bandwidths by converting the Sony Sub-LVDS interface to MIPI CSI-2 bus to allow data transfers up to 3.2 Gbps.
Features
- Supports 4, 8, or 10 data lanes from Sony image sensor in 10-bit or 12-bit pixel widths
- Interfaces to MIPI CSI-2 Receiving Devices with 4 data lanes up to 3.6 Gbps total bandwidth, and can generate XVS & XHS for image sensors in slave mode
- Recognizes major Sony IMX image sensor sync codes and can operate with IMX236, IMX172, IMX226, etc. (Implemented in Appro camera DM388IPNC-IMX172)
