This camera module reference design addresses the need for small low-cost cameras in automotive driver assistance systems (ADAS) by combining a 1.3-megapixel imager with integrated image signal processor (ISP) with a 12-bit, 100-MHz TI FPD-Link III serializer. Additionally, it provides a power-management integrated circuit (PMIC) power supply for both devices in an ultra-small form factor.
This design includes a high-speed serial interface to connect a remote automotive camera module to a display or machine vision processing system with a coaxial cable transmitting both data and power. The FPD-Link III SerDes technology used in this reference design enables the transmission of raw or processed video data, bidirectional control signals, and power over coax (POC) using a single cable.
