Avnet has introduced new development and prototyping boards designed to work with the AP1302 image processor from ON Semiconductor.
The 96Boards ON Semiconductor Dual Camera Mezzanine developer boards create a cost-effective embedded vision application using industry-standard technologies. The two-imager access system camera modules that are standard on the Mezzanine board use the AR0144 monochrome digital image sensor from ON Semiconductor. The AR0144 is a 1 megapixel mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) sensor that runs at 60 frames per second.
Avnet said the 96Boards enable a low-latency vision system prototyping by leveraging the Xilinx Ultra96-V2 platform. The board uses MIPI and the camera serial interface (CSI2) standards that define the interface between the image sensors, ISP and host processor, and it is used for high-speed communications output from image sensors in most embedded systems.
The API 1302 image co-processor from ON Semiconductor performs image processing functions including turning, configuring and calibrating the sensors. These functions help to reduce design efforts of developing an embedded camera system and the AP1302 interfaces the sensors and the host processor using MIPI-CSI2 lanes.
