Overview

Next generation CMOS image sensor interface

SLVS-EC is the next-generation, high-speed interface for high-resolution CMOS image sensors.

This standard is tolerant of lane-to-lane skew because of embedded clock technology that simplifies board-level design of high-speed and long-distance data transmission.

Originally developed and licensed by Sony, SLVS-EC is now starting to be supported by multiple image sensor suppliers.

The Benefits of a Multi-Protocol PMA

At Silicon Creations, we have developed a power and area optimized, flexible and programmable PMA (Physical Medium Attachment) architecture that can be reliably ported to different process nodes and scaled across protocol generations as data rates increase. It is called the Multi-Protocol PMA, or MP-PMA for short.

How silicon and circuit optimizations help FPGAs offer lower size, power and cost in video bridging applications

FPGAs are at home in the world of multi-gigabit-per-second signal conversion and bridging. In high-bandwidth telecoms, network and data center equipment, the FPGA is a mainstay of system designs, offering a valuable combination of high-speed SerDes capability, extensive logic resources, and programmability, giving designers the flexibility to modify features and functions without changing their board layout.
