SmartDV’s CXP Host IP is a silicon-proven, fully featured CoaXPress host solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring high-speed, reliable machine vision camera connectivity in industrial inspection, scientific imaging, and broadcast applications. Fully compliant with CoaXPress Specification v2.1 and backward compatible with v2.0, v1.1.1, and v1.1, it delivers complete CXP host receiver 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 for the demanding requirements of modern high-speed machine vision host SoC designs, the IP supports 8B/10B encoding and decoding, unpacking of all CXP video formats, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16-bit pixel depth, the complete range of color formats from Raw and Mono through all YUV and YCbCr variants, packet demultiplexing for multiple streams, Unified Time Stamping, and connection test facilities for link quality testing. Its backward compatibility with v1.1.1 high-speed up connection at up to 6.25 Gbps and 20.83 Mbps low-speed upstream gives industrial imaging SoC teams a production-tested, spec-complete CXP host 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.
