SLVS-EC Receiver IP
SLVS-EC Receiver IP
What is SLVS-EC？
SLVS-EC（Scalable Low Voltage Signaling with Embedded Clock）is a high speed, high performance interface for 4th generation Sony CMOS image sensors. SLVS-EC differs from conventional LVDS interface in that the clock is embedded in the data, allowing circuit design without considering the pesky skew between serial buses. In a nut shell, SLVS-EC enables faster, lower power design made easy.
SLVS-EC Receiver IP Overview
CIS has concentrated on extracting pixel data from the byte data received via FPGA’s high speed transceiver, enabling an IP with low resource usage. We provide reference design along with this IP.
