Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a full HD image sensor receiver IC to serve as a dedicated low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) bridge between image sensors and processors.
Texas Instruments (TI) introduced a full HD image sensor receiver IC to serve as a dedicated low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) bridge between image sensors and processors.
Compared to existing field-programmable gate array based solutions, the full HD image sensor receiver lowers the bill-of-material by 20 percent, reduces system power consumption by more than 10 percent and shrinks package size by 50 percent. It provides full HD, 1080p60 image quality in a host of video capture applications, including surveillance IP cameras and video conferencing systems, as well as industrial, consumer and professional video recording equipment.
The HD image sensor reciever is an extension of TI's analog LVDS for LCD interface products and FlatLink 3G serial interface technology, which reduces the number of signal lines used for synchronous parallel data bus structures with no loss in data throughput. It is also optimized to work with a variety of processors, including TI's processors for video applications. The image sensor receiver is available in a 4.5-mm by 7-mm, 59-ball PBGA (ZQL) package.
