Lattice Semiconductor Corporation launched its SubLVDS to MIPI CSI-2 Image Sensor Bridge reference design. It offers a flexible, easy-to-implement solution for industrial device customers for connecting advanced application processors (APs) with image sensors being used in modern machine vision applications for industrial environments.

The SubLVDS to MIPI CSI-2 Image Sensor Bridge includes:

·        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

“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 Lattice Semiconductor’s Product Marketing Manager, Peiju Chiang. “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.”
