Microchip Technology VIDEO-DC-MIPITX CSI-2 MIPI Transmit FMC Card
Microchip Technology VIDEO-DC-MIPITX CSI-2 MIPI Transmit FMC Card features PolarFire® and PolarFire SoC FPGAs. The VIDEO-DC-MIPITX is transceiver-enabled, allowing a GPIO-based IP solution to support data rates of up to 2.5Gbps/lane and facilitate 4K video data. The Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) CSI-2 (Camera Serial Interface) transmitter is an essential element in camera systems, allowing the rapid transfer of video and image data from the sensor to a processing device. Developed by the MIPI Alliance, CSI-2 is a standard interface widely used in smartphones, cars, and drones.
The Microchip VIDEO-DC-MIPITX CSI-2 MIPI Transmit FMC Card supports 1 to 4 data lanes for high-speed transmission and utilizes D-PHY for communication. It handles raw, compressed, and metadata formats flexibly, reaching impressive data rates, especially with multiple lanes. The robust protocol utilizes a packet-based system with commands and handshaking for reliable data transfer. Designed for low-power consumption, this transmitter is crucial for battery-operated devices and is adaptable to various resolutions and frame rates. The MIPI CSI-2 transmitter plays a pivotal role in modern camera technology, enabling the efficient and high-quality capture and transmission of visual data.
