Lattice Semiconductor Simplifies Video Bridging with New CrossLink Reference Design
Allows Embedded Designers to Connect Multiple Video Streams to Application Processors over a Single I/O Channel
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
The new CrossLink reference designs can be accessed here.
