TI unveils ‘industry’s first’ full hd image sensor receiver

Designed to reduce video system size and power consumption, Texas Instruments' new sensor receiver ic is said to be the first to serve as a dedicated LVDS bridge between image sensors and processors.

Compared to existing fpga based solutions, TI says the SN65LVDS324 lowers bom cost by 20%, reduces system power consumption by more than 10% and shrinks package size by 50%. The chip provides full hd, 1080p60 image quality in a range of video capture applications, including surveillance IP cameras and video conferencing systems, as well as industrial, consumer and professional video recording equipment. It typically consumes less than 150mW and is an extension of TI's FlatLink and FlatLink 3G serial interface family.
