Experience new ranges
With the new camera interface phyCAM-L, Phytec solves the problem of length restrictions of the MIPI CSI-2 interface. If the MIPI CSI-2 allows a maximum of approx. 15 cm between the camera module and the processor board, up to 15 m can be bridged with the phyCAM-L. By using sub-miniature plugs and a single-board solution, phyCAM-L is very compact and inexpensive.
The flexible coaxial cable is both a data channel and a power supply at the same time. Another cable is not required. The data is transmitted using the FPD-Link III protocol, which has been tried and tested in the automotive sector. The camera module even offers a plug connection for extensions.
A special feature of phyCAM-L is that the system is also particularly suitable for internal cabling. This can be done with a millimeter-thin, inexpensive RG1.37 cable. External connections can be tailored to the task using pigtail adapters.
Brilliant performance
The AR0144 sensor from Onsemi enables excellent image recording at a frame rate of 60 Hz globalFast-moving subjects are also displayed distortion-free in the shutter. The 1 megapixel camera has an integrated dynamic defective pixel correction and an automatic exposure control unit.
The camera module is available with a monochrome or color sensor. The wide temperature range and long-term availability enable the design of professional embedded vision solutions.
Easy integration
A kit with a receiver board is available for development, which can be connected to all processor boards with a phyCAM-M (MIPI CSI-2) interface. The receiver board converts the image data back into the MIPI CSI-2 format and supplies the camera module with power (Power-over-Coax). The kit includes design documentation that makes it easy to integrate the receiver circuitry into your own designs.
