SmartDV’s CXP Device IP is a fully featured CoaXPress camera device solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring high-speed, reliable machine vision camera transmitter connectivity in industrial inspection, scientific imaging, and broadcast camera applications. Fully compliant with CoaXPress Specification v2.1 and backward compatible with v2.0, v1.1.1, and v1.1, it delivers complete CXP device transmitter functionality supporting up to 4 connections, high-speed downstream bit rates from 1.25 Gbps to 12.5 Gbps, and low-speed upstream bit rates at 20.83 Mbps and 41.66 Mbps across Stream, I/O, and Control channels.
Designed as the natural camera-side complement to a CXP Host, the IP supports 8B/10B encoding and decoding, packing of all CXP video formats, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16-bit pixel depth, the complete range of color formats, Bootstrap register set, packet multiplexing for multiple streams, Link Sharing, Unified Time Stamping, and connection test facilities for link quality testing. Its backward compatibility with v1.1.1 and HsUpConnection bootstrap register for HS up connection support indication give industrial imaging camera SoC teams a production-ready CXP device implementation.
Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations. Its parameterized connection architecture and clean host interface enable fast integration across a wide range of machine vision process nodes.
