Mpression

 

MPression develops technology for the machine vision industry. We strive to provide a superior package of solutions leveraging expertise in key areas such as FPGAs, processors, and interface devices, together with system-level technologies such as power and clock trees. We complete our offerings with expertise in signal integrity, intellectual property, and software support.

While electronic designs are becoming more complex, engineers are required to design products on ever shortening schedules and at lower costs, without compromising performance or quality. Macnica Vision delivers the necessary environment for those engineers to accelerate their electronics designs while maintaining higher quality and performance. We will help you stay one step ahead at the system level.

CMOS Sensor Interface IP Device Package

SLVS-EC IP

SLVS-EC

Today Sony CMOS image sensors and FPGAs are used in nearly all machine vision cameras, with Sony SLVS-EC, the interface of choice to handle high-speed, long-distance communication. It has become especially popular because it uses an embedded clock technology that’s tolerant of lane-to-lane skew.

Now, with our SLVS-EC Rx IP, Macnica Vision is offering an intellectual property package that makes board-level design for SLVS-EC very easy. It’s the toolkit you need for faster, better, easier and more profitable camera design.

SLVS-EC Evaluation Kit

Mpression's new Vision Evaluation Platform can be used to evaluate our SLVS-EC IP in an 8 Lane configuration.

 

The kit consists of 2 boards: the sensor board based on the IMX537 and the FMC board with two possible connections either through board stacking or with a cable. A CS lens mount and a CS-to-C mount conversion ring are also provided with the kit, enabling you to connect directly your chosen lens for rapid testing.

 

The FMC board provides the sensor power sequence and can be plugged in directly to an FPGA development board with an FMC connector. For a list of compatible FPGA development boards, please contact us.

Features

  • Customers can create their own custom sensor boards based on our reference design.
  • FMC board compatible with many off the shelf FPGA development boards allowing easy comparison of different sensors.
  • Sensor board provided in CS mount bracket so that it can be compatible with both CS and C (through adapter) lenses for easy and speedy evaluation.
  • Test bed for SLVS-EC and Sony CMOS Image Sensors.
