CMOS to MIPI CSI-2 Interface Bridge IP

Many traditional image sensors have a CMOS interface. However, many mobile applications processors only have MIPI CSI-2 interfaces. Many new applications want to leverage mobile innovations, while utilizing traditional image sensors with specific requirements and capabilities.

Lattice CrossLink™ is a programmable video interface bridging device capable of converting image sensors with CMOS interfaces up to 300 MHz to MIPI CSI-2 interfaces at up to 6 Gbps. This bridge is available as free IP in Lattice Diamond® for allowing easy configuration and setup.
