LCMXO2-4000HE-DSIB-EVN: 2x Image Sensor Interface

Building off Lattice’s broad support for bridging image sensors to parallel buses for ISP (Image Signal Processors), Lattice has designed a new sensor interface board. There are two purposes for the MachXO2™ Dual Sensor Interface Board (DSIB). First, the DSIB confirms that sensor bridges can be implemented in the low cost MachXO2 device. Second, the DSIB platform demonstrates two image sensors being merged into one parallel stream for an ISP to process the combined image.

The DSIB is designed to provide users with a platform to support dual sensor designs such as 3D stereoscopic video, black box car driver recorders and other applications that require more than one sensor. The DSIB is used in conjunction with the HDR-60 Base Board and two 9MT024 Aptina 720p NanoVesta boards (see Figure 1). See EB59, HDR-60 Development Kit User’s Guide and EB63, NanoVesta Head Board User’s Guide for further information on these boards.
