Sensor To Image GmbH Product
Sensor to Image is a machine vision specialist who develops and sells GenICam-compliant interface FPGA cores and supplies GigE Vision, CoaXPress and USB3 Vision cores worldwide. The company has been building its renowned know-how in modular PC image processing cards for industrial purposes since 1989. Its journey started with Snofru and Giseh cards allowing PC independent evaluation of a camera signal. Nowadays, the company has walked a long way and developed a strong FPGA expertise, certified by AIA and JIIA. Sensor to image is a major supplier of IP Cores for the FPGA vendors Intel /Altera, Lattice and Xilinx. Sensor to Image has supplied more than 100 customers around the world in automotive-, industrial-, medical-, security-, military- and space-applications. Euresys acquired Sensor to Image in 2017 to build a bigger group for a broader range of applications and services with the joint knowledge of the existing teams.

The Sensor to Image U3V FPGA Core for ALTERA, LATTICE and XILINX FPGA is a solution for camera designers of machine vision components to make use of the proven USB3 Vision protocol without the need of implementing this protocol from scratch or to buy third party U3V hardware modules. So the designer is able to focus his work on the device functionality not on connectivity. The core implements the Control Channel software based in the FX3 PHY embedded CPU, whereas the high performance Streaming Channel is fully implemented in hardware. This architecture ensures best performance, but also easy adaption to custom vision hardware. Together with memory controller and PHY unit, a full solution can be supplied. Several reference designs for both sender and receiver applications are available and demonstrate the usage of the core. Supported platforms are ALTERA/INTEL and XILINX FPGAs.
