This new image sensor bridge design utilizes the low cost, low power Lattice MachXO2 PLD (programmable logic device) to interface to the serial sub-LVDS bus of the Sony IMX136 or IMX104 image sensor. Applications that can benefit from this include surveillance cameras, video conferencing and industrial cameras. This image sensor bridge design allows an ISP (Image Signal Processor) with a CMOS parallel interface bus to connect to the Sony IMX136 or IMX104. The
MachXO2-1200 interfaces directly to the sub-LVDS I/Os and no external discrete components are required. The image sensor bridge application can support 1080P60 resolution with a 12-bit ISP interface and if customers require the full 1080P120 capability of the Sony IMX136 or IMX104, then the design code in the MachXO2 device can be modified to accommodate this.
“The Sony serial sub-LVDS bridge design is the latest addition to our growing camera design ecosystem,” said Kambiz Khalilian, Lattice Strategic Marketing Manager for Cameras & Displays. “We are pleased to offer this image sensor bridge design so customers can quickly introduce cameras based on the Sony IMX136 and IMX104. This latest bridge design further demonstrates Lattice’s leadership in partnering with key ISP and image sensor companies.”
