Anyone who wants to integrate high-resolution sensors into cameras or embedded systems needs the right interface. This has recently become available with SLVS-EC v3 and is now also easy to use with the newly introduced FRAMOS SLVS-EC RX IP Core and FRAMOS SLVS-EC RX IP Core Evaluation Kit for SLVS-EC up to v3.
FRAMOS has completed its new SLVS-EC RX IP Core, and it is now available for customers who want to integrate high-resolution sensors into their systems. The IP Core comes as an encrypted file. A reference design implementation with a sensor module kit and everything developers need for testing and implementation purposes is also available. The IP Core is available for AMD/Xilinx platforms such as the UltraScale+, the Kintex series, and many more. Installing the IP Core enables the new SLVS-EC v3 interface to be used, which leads to high bandwidths for data transmission between the sensor and the FPGA. This is particularly interesting for customers who want to achieve razor-sharp image results for their vision applications, such as those required for medical imaging, sports events, or fast industrial applications. Using the SLVS-EC RX IP core drastically reduces the integration time for camera and imaging systems, thus reducing the risks involved in project implementation. SLVS-EC v3 enables a data transfer rate that is twice as high as that of its predecessor standard SLVS-EC v2. Transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s are possible per data lane in version 3.0. Up to eight lanes can be used on the developer board side and pixel formats up to 16 bits are supported. This enables future imaging processes with already existing and upcoming high-resolution image sensors compatible with SLVS-EC v3.
“Our IP core makes the future tangible here through its ease of use, allowing vision system developers to focus on what is important: the application,” – Giuseppe Contini, Technical Imaging Expert at FRAMOS
