Vision Components
MIPI portfolio expanded
Vision Components offers its MIPI cameras with GMSL2 interface for data transmission with cables up to 10 m long. An adapter board permanently integrated into the design of the modules was developed for this purpose.
The first module to be available is the 'VC MIPI IMX296' in the GMSL version. All other cameras with the 50 or so different image sensors in the company's portfolio will follow. There is also an additional circuit board that converts the serial GMSL signal back to MIPI CSI-2. The MIPI cameras with GMSL2 interface combine the features of Vision Components ' compact and easy-to-integrate MIPI cameras with an option to support cable lengths of up to 10 meters. When connecting via the MIPI CSI-2 interface with standard FPC cables, the embedded cameras can be integrated and connected at a maximum distance of 20 cm from the processor board. The new SerDes adapter is integrated into the design of the MIPI cameras and is permanently connected to the motherboard, which ensures robustness in industrial and professional use. The form factor of the modules remains the same, only the depth of the modules increases by a few millimetres. Coaxial cables with MMCX connectors can be used for fast data transmission via the Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link Interface GMSL2. A plug adapter enables connection to Fakra-C interfaces. The connection to a processor board can be made via the serial cable and a corresponding interface on the processor board. As an alternative for prototypes and small series, Vision Components has developed an adapter that converts the serial signal back into a digital signal, which is also available immediately. With this stamp-sized board, the cameras can be connected to most common processor boards via the standard MIPI interface and FPC cable.
