Cypress camera controller enables USB 3.0 connectivity

Sept. 11, 2013
The EZ-USB CX3 USB 3.0 programmable camera controller enables developers to add USB 3.0 connectivity to any image sensors supporting the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Camera Serial Interface Type 2 (CSI-2) standard.

The EZ-USB CX3 USB 3.0 programmable camera controller enables developers to add USB 3.0 connectivity to any image sensors supporting the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Camera Serial Interface Type 2 (CSI-2) standard. CX3 is suited for use in high-speed image capturing applications and is capable of streaming uncompressed video at 1080p at 30 fps or 720p at 60 fps. The controller also supports many image formats, including RAW8/10/12/14, YUV422 (CCIR/ITU 8/10-bit), and RGB888/666/565. In addition, the CX3 provides 200 MIPS of computational power for on-chip image data processing.
