Introduction
The Avnet Multi-Camera FMC module supports up to four (4) high definition camera modules
using MAXIM Integrated’ s GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) technology.
GMSL is widely used in the automotive industry for in-vehicle high speed communication of
video streams. Making use of low-cost coax cable up to 15 meters in length, GMSL meets
the most stringent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements of the automotive
industry.
The provided linux-based reference designs support the ON Semiconductor MARS (Modular
Automotive Reference System) based camera modules, including the MAXIM Integrated
MAX96705 GMSL Serializer board and the ON Semiconductor AR0231AT image sensor board.
The AR0231AT image sensor is an automotive-grade image sensor which uses the latest 3.0
micron Back Side Illuminated (BSI) pixel with ON Semiconductor’s DR-Pix™ technology, which
offers dual conversion gain for improved performance under all lighting conditions. It includes
LED Flicker Mitigation (LFM), and achieves 120dB of High-Dynamic Range with 4-exposure
HDR.
The Multi-Camera FMC Module is available in two options:
-
FMC module only (without any cable or cameras)
-
Quad AR0231AT Camera FMC bundle (including cable and four cameras)
The Quad AR0231AT Camera FMC Bundle includes the Multi-Camera FMC module, a cable
assembly, as well as four AR0231AT camera modules with GMSL serialization.
The Quad AR0231AT Camera FMC Bundle is meant to be used with Xilinx Zynq-Ult
FMC carriers, including the ZCU102, the ZCU104, as well as the Avnet UltraZed EV SOM +
Carrier. The Quad Camera FMC Bundle is fully integrated to the Xilinx reVISION stack,
including SDSoC platforms and design examples.
