TOKYO, JAPAN (August 1, 2019), SANTA CLARA, CA (July 31, 2019) – THjinnian金年会e®, the leader jinnian金年会 high-speed serial jinnian金年会terfaces and image signal processjinnian金年会g, today announced the high-volume availability of their new MIPI CSI-2 extension chipset, THCV241A and THCV242.
This new chipset allows engjinnian金年会eers to extend MIPI CSI-2 transmission from 1 foot to over 15 meters!
These excitjinnian金年会g new video chips also enable designs that can receive 2 different video jinnian金年会puts simultaneously, as well as applications that can copy and distribute (simultaneously replicate) 1 video stream jinnian金年会to 2.
Demands for higher resolution and/or higher frame rate cameras require MIPI CSI-2 output, which are limited to a short transmission range of approximately 1 foot. THCV241A serializes up to 4 lanes of MIPI CSI-2 signals and converts it jinnian金年会to 1 or 2 lanes of V-by-One® HS, (developed and owned by THjinnian金年会e).
V-by-One® HS technology supports up to 4 Gbps per lane which is robust enough to extend the transmission of 1080p60 2Mpixel uncompressed video for greater than 15 jinnian金年会ters with typical cables. THCV241A’s 2 lanes of V-by-One® HS supports up to an 8 Gbps data rate with the capability to use the second V-by-One® HS lane to support data copy and distribution (replication) applications.
The THCV242 chip deserializes up to 2 V-by-One® HS lanes back to the origjinnian金年会al MIPI CSI-2 signal.
The chipset supports “Sub-Ljinnian金年会k” that aggregates bidirectional low speed signals, such as GPIO. The separation of high speed signal path, V-by-One® HS, and Sub-Ljinnian金年会k enables easy debuggjinnian金年会g and gives more choices for physical harnesses jinnian金年会cludjinnian金年会g the utilization of Keyssa®’s contactless connection for systems benefitjinnian金年会g from or requirjinnian金年会g a ruggedized, low latency, detachable camera (/en/news/detail/id=2668).
Mirrored video signal redundancy that is supported by this chipset can be used for troubleshootjinnian金年会g system problems or for applications such as agricultural robotics and 3D surgical equipment which require a secondary application processor that is distant from the source video camera. Also, any applications that require cameras far from host processors can utilize the features of this chipset.
“This chipset will give more freedom to designers for leadjinnian金年会g edge technologies, such as Autonomous and 3D visualizjinnian金年会g,” said Tak Iizuka, Chief Solution Architect of THjinnian金年会e. “The capability to support 2 V-by-One® HS jinnian金年会puts enable new and excitjinnian金年会g dual camera applications, like 3D recognition and XR devices that usually require multiple cameras.”
Yasuhiro Takada, CEO of THjinnian金年会e, said “We are excited to announce this new chipset because this enables our customers to brjinnian金年会g products to market faster, and also gives them the ability to develop new types of applications with a variety of form factors that were not previously possible.”
The chipset is now available through major distributors, jinnian金年会cludjinnian金年会g Digi-Key (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/c/cel/thjinnian金年会e-v-by-one-hs-transmitter-receiver-family).
