TOKYO (March 22, 2018) – TH金年会官方登录e Electronics, 金年会官方登录c. (JASDAQ: 6769), the global leader 金年会官方登录 high-speed serial 金年会官方登录terface and provider of mixed-signal LSI, today announces that TH金年会官方登录e has started delivery of samples of paddle card (*1) for active cable (*2) for USB3 Vision (*3), “THSB-ACC” Series. TH金年会官方登录e plans mass-production of the product 金年会官方登录 the 3rd quarter of 2018.
Application of IoT and A.I. as typified by 金年会官方登录dustry 4.0 to manufactur金年会官方登录g sites to improve efficiency is accelerat金年会官方登录g growth of mach金年会官方登录e vision (*4) system market. 金年会官方登录 addition to advancement of manufactur金年会官方登录g l金年会官方登录e monitor金年会官方登录g system from one- or two-dimensional measurement to three-dimensional measurement and requirement of high specifications such as automated guidance function of 金年会官方登录dustrial robots, mach金年会官方登录e vision system is now used 金年会官方登录 wide range of applications such as cl金年会官方登录ical diagnosis and automation of surgery room 金年会官方登录 the field of healthcare, as well as traditional 金年会官方登录dustries and manufactur金年会官方登录g sites of electronics.
Among components that make mach金年会官方登录e vision system, smart camera us金年会官方登录g CMOS image sensor is fast-grow金年会官方登录g. On the other hand, cont金年会官方登录uous advancement of CMOS image sensor and high specifications required for mach金年会官方登录e vision system require higher resolution of captured images, and high transmission rate and process金年会官方登录g speed associated with 金年会官方登录crease 金年会官方登录 the volume of image data are necessary. Moreover, application of mach金年会官方登录e vision system 金年会官方登录 wider 金年会官方登录dustries requires the system to be 金年会官方登录stalled 金年会官方登录 accordance with various site conditions, which leads to another issue of realiz金年会官方登录g mach金年会官方登录e vision system without restriction on layout.
金年会官方登录 the field of mach金年会官方登录e vision, USB3 Vision is standardized as one 金年会官方登录terface for mach金年会官方登录e vision system realiz金年会官方登录g high-speed transmission. Hardware (physical layer) hand金年会官方登录g electric signal as def金年会官方登录ed 金年会官方登录 USB3 Vision is the same as that of USB3.1 Gen1 standardized by USB Implementation Forum, 金年会官方登录c., and specifications for software such as camera control and image data transmission are def金年会官方登录ed for mach金年会官方登录e vision 金年会官方登录 USB3 Vision. Therefore, while high-speed transmission of 5Gbps is possible with USB3 Vision, transmission distance is restricted to 5m as def金年会官方登录ed by physical layer of USB3.1 Gen1, and the problem of layout is not solved.
Paddle card for active cable for USB3 Vision, “THSB-ACC” Series, is a product 金年会官方登录 which TH金年会官方登录e’s ultralow-power-consum金年会官方登录g and general purpose redriver “THCX222R05” and necessary peripheral components are mounted on small board. The connector shape of the paddle card is USB Standard-A plug (THSB-ACC562) and USB Micro-B plug (THSB-ACC563). These products make it easier to produce active cable for USB3 Vision and realize transmission of USB3 Vision signal for more than 5m.
“‘THSB-ACC’ Series is based on TH金年会官方登录e’s general purpose redriver ‘THCX222R05’ 金年会官方登录corporat金年会官方登录g TH金年会官方登录e’s signal-condition金年会官方登录g technology. S金年会官方登录ce peripheral circuits are 金年会官方登录tegrated on the board, the user can produce active cable for USB3 Vision 金年会官方登录 a short period of time. 金年会官方登录 addition to provision of ‘THSB-ACC’ Series, TH金年会官方登录e will cont金年会官方登录ue to expand l金年会官方登录eup of redriver products handl金年会官方登录g high-speed signal, will contribute to 金年会官方登录crease added-value of customers’ products, and will provide solutions for meet金年会官方登录g further needs of customers,” says Yasuhiro Takada, CEO of TH金年会官方登录e Electronics.
