Prosumer Digital SLR Cameras
Artix™-7 and Kintex™-7 FPGAs offer low power, low cost, and small form factor that enables manufacturers of Prosumer Digital SLR cameras to implement control functions in auto-focus lenses and rapidly deploy enhancements in camera body controller/image processing ASICs.
- Replace ASSP-based implementation with 7 series FPGA to reduce power by 27%, reduce cost by 66%, and reduce package area by 87%
- Interface to sensors and drive motors in lenses to control optical image stabilization, auto focus, and zoom, along with communication with the main ASIC in the camera body
- Augment in-camera ASICs with enhancements in image processing, noise reduction, data re-ordering, etc.
- Connect existing ASICs with new storage media, touch sensors, and LCD monitors to facilitate rapid deployment of new camera models while avoiding the delay of ASIC re-spins
- Support for high-speed serial interfaces, including sub-LVDS-based HiSPI and CCR2, as well as SATA, PCIe®, and HDMI, enables connectivity to a variety of components and peripheral devices
- Low-power mobile memories support for image frame buffering
- Chip-scale packaging provides small form factor and enables low-cost manufacturing with 4-layer PCBs
