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.
