Deserializer hub brings smart sensing and secure connectivity
Summary
When combined with a companion serializer, the TDES9640 receives video data from image sensors or video sources, facilitating ultra-high resolutions for multiple sensors in appliances, machine vision, and robotic and medical imaging applications. This deserializer hub offers leading-edge smart sensing and secure connectivity, along with power-saving motor drive, control, and power management functions that boost sensor and link performance, utilizing a robust, ultra-high-speed forward (7.55 Gbps) and bi-directional control channel (47.1875 Mbps), to push and aggregate data into two MIPI CSI-2 D-PHY or C-PHY outputs, for downstream processing. Flexible MIPI CSI-2 outputs support multiple virtual channels, interleaving each port to differentiate between numerous sensors, exposures, and data types, while supporting advanced diagnostic and multi-level data integrity protection with programmable health status interrupt. The V³Link deserializer hub minimizes chips and cabling, synchronizes multiple cameras and enables AI and high-performance processing for machine vision applications. The hub, together with integrated multipurpose processors featuring artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators and high-speed communication interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet, single-pair Ethernet, USB 3.0 and Power over Ethernet, is compatible with industry-standard sensor and display interfaces with a variety of cable and connector types for radar, LIDAR or other ultrasonic proximity applications.
