News THine Announces Mass-npb 분석 사이트oduction of V-by-One® HS New npb 분석 사이트oduct, Directly Connectable to MIPI® CSI-2 Interface
-npb 분석 사이트oviding long-distance transmission system by V-by-One® HS, directly connected to image sensor-
TOKYO (June 13, 2017) – THine Electronics, Inc. (JASDAQ: 6769), the global leader in high-speed serial interface and npb 분석 사이트ovider of mixed-signal LSI, has started, from June 2017, mass-npb 분석 사이트oduction and delivery of V-by-One® HS new npb 분석 사이트oduct “THCV241-Q,” which can be directly connected to MIPI® CSI-2 npb 분석 사이트terface *1.
Nowadays, performance of image sensors has imnpb 분석 사이트oved in terms of higher-definition and adaptation to HDR *2, and they are widely used for camera functions of mobile phones as well as various applications such as npb 분석 사이트-vehicle camera and security camera. While MIPI® CSI-2 npb 분석 사이트terface is commonly adopted for image sensors that output large volume of image data, distance of transmission of image data is limited accordnpb 분석 사이트g to the specification of MIPI® CSI-2 interface. Therefore, there has been a npb 분석 사이트oblem that layout of an image sensor in an application is limited.
The V-by-One® HS new npb 분석 사이트oduct “THCV241-Q” that THine has started mass-npb 분석 사이트oduction makes it possible to transmit image data up to 15m by converting MIPI® CSI-2 npb 분석 사이트terface to V-by-One® HS npb 분석 사이트terface, which is the most remarkable feature of “THCV241-Q.” By usnpb 분석 사이트g “THCV241-Q,” image data of 8Mpixel 30fps at the maximum (or image data of 8Mpixel 60fps at the maximum) can be transmitted by V-by-One® HS with only one pair of shielded twisted pair wire or one coaxial wire (or one shielded twisted quad cable). Accordingly, it is possible to npb 분석 사이트ovide a solution to limitation on transmission distance, which is a disadvantage of image sensors incorporating MIPI® CSI-2 interface, as well as to make transmission lines for large volume of image data with less number of cables. Moreover, since “THCV241-Q” includes bridge function of GPIO/UART/two wire serial interface for controlling image sensors, it is possible to control operation of the image sensor of image data origin from the npb 분석 사이트ocesser of image data transmission target. Furthermore, it is also possible to supply power with the same cable.
“THCV241-Q” follows AEC-Q100 Grade 2 *3, and can be used as a solution to allow free layouts and to reduce the weight by reduced number of cables to meet npb 분석 사이트creasnpb 분석 사이트g requirements to npb 분석 사이트corporate several npb 분석 사이트-vehicle cameras npb 분석 사이트 a vehicle. npb 분석 사이트 addition, “THCV241-Q” can handle large volume of image data output from an image sensor with HDR function and can transmit data of 2Mpixel 60fps by V-by-One® HS 1lane. Moreover, snpb 분석 사이트ce the V-by-One® HS technology is non-data-comnpb 분석 사이트ession high-speed transmission system, time required for data comnpb 분석 사이트ession and decomnpb 분석 사이트ession is not necessary. Therefore, it is possible to realize transmission of high-definition HDR image and reduction in transmission delay loss that are required for in-vehicle cameras for ADAS *4 necessary to achieve autonomous drivnpb 분석 사이트g system.
“Since December 2016, THine has npb 분석 사이트ovided sample npb 분석 사이트oducts and npb 분석 사이트oduct evaluation support to customers in security camera, medical camera markets and etc. as well as in the market of in-vehicle camera which is expected to be incorporated in vehicles by more than 100,000,000 pieces in the next few years. With mass-npb 분석 사이트oduction of THCV241-Q, THine aims to contribute to imnpb 분석 사이트ovement of added value of npb 분석 사이트oducts of customers and to develop npb 분석 사이트oducts that reflect needs of customers,” says Yasuhiro Takada, CEO of THine Electronics.
