CSI2 to Parallel Bridge Board Users Guide February 2013 Revision: EB81 01.1CSI2 to Parallel Bridge Board Users Guide Introduction The CSI2 to Parallel Bridge Board comprises a compact, low cost, MIPI CSI2 (Camera Serial Interface) image sen- sor, lens and lens housing with adjustable focus, that can bolt directly onto the Lattice HDR-60 Base Board or the MachXO2 Dual Sensor Interface Board. Both the CSI2 to Parallel Bridge Board and the MachXO2 Dual Sensor Interface Board are designed to work together. These boards plug into the HDR-60 Base Board to allow for a dem- onstration. The CSI2 to Parallel Bridge Board is designed to use the Sony IMX169 CMOS Digital Image Sensors which feature: Up to 13 megapixels HD video (1080p30 mode configurable) Selectable video or single frame modes MIPI CSI2 output, either two or four data lanes Read more about the image sensor specifications in the Sony IMX169 data sheet. Features Key features of the CSI2 to Parallel Bridge Board include: Sony IMX169 CMOS Digital Image Sensor Lens: F/1.59, <7% distortion, with minimized flare, halo, and ghosting Lens holder with adjustable focus CSI2 or parallel signal connections to the MachXO2 Dual Sensor Interface Board or HDR-60 Base Board Selectable on-board 27.000 MHz MEMs oscillator, or HDR-60 Base Board oscillator Power status LEDs with one user-defined LED General Description The CSI2 to Parallel Bridge Board has been designed for use on the MachXO2 Dual Interface Sensor Board and the HDR-60 Base Board. The CSI2 to Parallel Bridge Board contains the camera sensor portion, while the MachXO2 Dual Sensor Interface Board performs the CSI2 to parallel conversion. The HDR-60 Base Board allows the user to see an image on a HDMI monitor. See RD1146, MIPI CSI2 to CMOS Parallel Sensor Bridge, for more information concerning a related demo. Initial Setup and Handling The following is recommended reading prior to removing the CSI2 to Parallel Bridge Board from the static shielding bag and may or may not apply to your particular use of the board. CAUTION: The devices on the boards can be damaged by improper handling. The devices on the evaluation boards contain fairly robust ESD (Electro Static Discharge) protection structures within them, able to withstand typical static discharges (see the Human Body Model specification for an example of ESD characterization requirements). Even so, the devices are static-sensitive to conditions that exceed their designed-in protection. For example: higher static voltages, as well as lower voltages with lower series resistance or larger capacitance than the respective ESD specifications require can potentially damage or degrade the devices on the evaluation board. As such, it is recommended that you wear an approved and functioning grounded wrist strap at all times while han- dling the evaluation boards when they are removed from the static shielding bag. If you will not be using the boards for a while, it is best to put them back in the static shielding bag. Please save the static shielding bag and packing box for future storage of the boards when they are not in use. 2
