Analog Devices Inc. AD-GMSL716MIPI-EVK Deserializer Board
Analog Devices AD-GMSL716MIPI-EVK Deserializer Board is a compact and cost-efficient evaluation board designed to convert GMSL2 serialized video signals into MIPI CSI-2 interfaces, enabling seamless integration with system-on-chip (SoC) platforms. At its core is the Analog Devices MAX96716A, a dual GMSL2-to-CSI-2 deserializer, offering a reliable solution for automotive and industrial vision systems. Included with the board is a comprehensive software package, featuring reference Linux images and device tree configurations for all supported camera types, enabling faster development and integration.
Engineered to meet the growing demand for budget-friendly GMSL camera solutions, the AD-GMSL716MIPI-EVK board supports a wide range of image sensors. The board features Power-over-Coax (PoC) technology, which simplifies installation by transmitting both data and power through a single coaxial cable, streamlining system design and reducing cable clutter. This evaluation board is ideal for developers building next-generation GMSL2 camera systems, offering flexibility, performance, and ease of use.
