A


programmable bridging device that supports leading protocols for mobile image sensors and


displays has been released by Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. The new


functional optimisation of an ASSP to create a new product class called programmable ASSP (pASSP). As one of the first products in this category, this device is a low cost video interface bridge with a high bandwidth, low power and small footprint. This makes it ideal for virtual reality headsets, drones, smartphones, tablets, cameras,


wearable devices and human machine interfaces (HMIs).


The CrossLink device’s features


delivers up to 4K UH  FastMIPI D-PHY b include:


12Gbps bandwidth


 Supports popularmobile, camera, display and legacy interfaces such as MIPI D-PHY,MIPI CSI-2,MIPI DSI, MIPI DPI, CMOS, and SubLVDS, LVDS  Small size with a 6mm2 option  Low power programmable bridging


D resolution at ridging that


solution in activemode  Built-in sleepmode


 Takes the strongest features from ASSPs and FPGAs to deliver the best solution of both worlds


Lattice’s CrossLink bridge can multiplex,merge and arbitrate


betweenmultiple image sensors to a single input. The device can also


interface between high-end industrial and popular A/V image sensors with mobile application processors. www.latticese mi.co m

we have a special focus on display technology and the User Interface, with a look at the importance of high reliability touch sensors in retail environments on p8. There is also a focus on the pitfalls for display and board integration and how to avoid them on p10.


The latest in automotive technology explores ho w to generate high voltage power rails on p14. Ways in which to optimise switching DC/DC converter design is


investigated on p17 in this month’s power focus along with much much more. Michelle Wi ny - Editor

presentation tools enable retrieved data such as volta eg , current, power, harmonics, flicker and phase angle to be displayed for analysis in an even wider variety of formats, using any combination of parameters.


Whether for long termmonitoring, troubleshooting unknown power quality issues or preventative


maintenance, Pronto's improved event

Data fromdifferent sessions and differentmodels of analyser can be linked together, allowingmultiple recordings to feed into the same power quality analysis task.
