Video & Machine Vision IP Overview
Overview
MPRESSION - SLVS-EC Rx IP
Next generation Sony CMOS image sensor interface
Description
Features
SLVS-EC Rx IP provides SLVS-EC interface for Altera FPGA to receive image sensor data. SLVS-EC is Sony’s upcoming high-speed interface for next-generation high-resolution CMOS image sensors. This standard is tolerant of lane-to-lane skew because of embedded clock technology, so that it makes a board level design very easy in terms of high-speed and long distance transmission.
-
Compliant with SLVS-EC Specification Version 1.2/2.0
-
Supports various functions defined by the SLVS-EC Link layer (Altera PCS/PMA is used as Physical layer)
-
Supports Byte-to-Pixel conversion for various lane-configurations
-
Supports Header analysis and Payload error detection
Specification

Resource Utilization for Altera Cyclone V GX (8 LANE Full Configuration)

* The above values are estimated resource utilization of the IP and Transceivers. They may vary depending on your system configuration.
Demo Environment
Data output from Sony CMOS image sensor via SLVS-EC is received by the FPGA. The FPGA outputs RAW still image to USB3.0 and live video image to HDMI respectively. In addition to SLVS-EC Rx IP, another Mpression family IP, “HDMI 2.0 Tx IP” is also used in this demonstration.
