SmartDV’s Camera Parallel Interface (CPI) Transmitter IP is a fully featured parallel camera interface transmitter solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring standard parallel camera connectivity for embedded, IoT, mobile, and consumer electronics imaging applications. Compliant with the CPI OV7670 v1.0 specification, it delivers complete CPI transmitter functionality supporting RGB444, RGB555, and RGB565 color formats with configurable input pixel per clock and output data width options, targeting SD resolution video capture at 640×480 at 60Hz refresh rate.
Designed for cost-sensitive, area-optimized embedded imaging applications, the IP provides a simple, lightweight parallel interface that integrates cleanly with OmniVision OV7670-compatible camera sensors and similar parallel interface image sensors. Its configurable 1 and 2 pixel per clock input, 8-bit and 16-bit parallel output data width options, and support for all video formats in the CPI OV7670 v1.0 specification give embedded imaging SoC teams a production-ready CPI transmitter for compact, low-cost camera interface designs.
Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization and peak performance. Its clean host interface enables fast integration across a wide range of embedded imaging process nodes and target applications.
