FPD-Link III Overview Slide 3
The FPD-Link Serializer and Deserializer chipsets are used to provide data links between video sources and video sinks. One big advantage of the chipsets is their ability to transfer uncompressed video data at very high data rates without the need of additional controller overhead. Typical application examples include interfaces to LCD displays from head units, instrument cluster and heads-up display control boxes for driver information and passenger entertainment purposes. For rear seat entertainment displays, the display resolutions for future infotainment generations are going past high-definition standards like 720p. Therefore, the data throughput is increasing beyond 3 Gbps. On the driver assistance side, there is a strong trend to digital video interfaces from camera image sensors, which is different from the current National Television System Committee analog solutions. This development is driven by the increasing resolutions of CMOS imagers, going from VGA to megapixel. With the higher quality of pictures being captured, the forward-looking camera systems can fulfill multiple tasks with just one image sensor, like intelligent headlight dimming, collision avoidance/mitigation, traffic sign recognition or lane departure warning. For multi-camera systems providing park-assistance functions, the higher number of pixels available facilitates a seamless combination and “image stitching” of image frames from different sensors to provide panoramic or 360 degree, bird view, perspectives.
