Enabling Flexible Multi-Sensor USB Cameras with Lattice CrossLink-NX FPGAs

Prabu Kumar
Fixed-function USB camera chips define a rigid pipeline from sensor to output and leave no room for reconfiguration. e-con Systems has built a USB camera solution on Lattice Semiconductor's CrossLink-NX33U FPGA that replaces that constraint. The result eliminates the need for separate ISP chips, external USB controllers, and multiple PCBs...
