BusinessWire: MIPI Alliance announces a major release of its Camera Serial Interface (CSI-2) v2.0.
Key MIPI CSI-2 v2.0 enhancements:
Key MIPI CSI-2 v2.0 enhancements:
- RAW-16 and RAW-20 color depth that improves intra-scene HDR and SNR to bring “advanced vision” capabilities to autonomous vehicles and systems
- Expanded virtual channels from 4 to 32 to accommodate the proliferation of image sensors with multiple data types and support multi-exposure and multi-range sensor fusion for ADAS applications such as enhanced collision avoidance
- Latency Reduction and Transport Efficiency (LRTE) provides increased image sensor aggregation without adding to system cost; facilitates real-time perception, processing and decision-making; and optimizes transport to reduce the number of wires, toggle rate and power consumption
- Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM) 12-10-12 compression, which reduces bandwidth while delivering superior SNR images devoid of compression artifacts for mission-critical vision applications
- Scrambling to reduce emissions Power Spectral Density (PSD), minimize radio interference and allow further reach for longer channels
