Programmable MIPI-USB 3.0 camera controller

13 November 2013 Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI

Cypress Semiconductor’s EZ-USB CX3 is a USB 3.0 camera controller that enables developers to add USB 3.0 connectivity to any image sensors compliant with the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Camera Serial Interface Type 2 (CSI-2) standard.

The chip supports MIPI CSI-2 version 1.01, up to four data lanes with data speed up to 1 Gbps per lane, for a total bandwidth of 4 Gbps. It is ideally suited for high-definition or high-speed image capturing applications and is capable of streaming uncompressed video up to 1080p@30fps or 720p@60fps. CX3 supports a wide variety of image formats including RAW8/10/12/14, YUV422 (CCIR/ITU 8/10-bit) and RGB888/666/565.

Based on the proven EZ-USB FX3 Platform, CX3 comes with an ARM9 CPU and 512 KB SRAM that provides 200 MIPS of computational power. It supports multiple peripheral interfaces such as I²C, SPI and UART, which can be programmed to support pan, tilt and zoom or other camera control functions. The device is available in a 121-ball BGA package with either two or four MIPI lanes.
