THCV242A-P-B

Overview

The THCV242A-P-B is a serializer/deserializer IC manufactured by THine Solutions, Inc., designed to convert V-by-One® HS image signals into MIPI® CSI-2 signals. It supports up to two camera inputs with two lanes each, featuring a maximum data rate of 4.0 Gbps per lane for V-by-One® HS output and up to 1.2 Gbps per lane for MIPI® CSI-2 output. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V and 1.1V to 1.3V, functioning reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +105°C. It utilizes a 64-VFQFN package with exposed pad.

Feature Summary

• Converts high-speed V-by-One HS video signals to MIPI CSI-2 format
• Supports bidirectional control links for I2C and GPIO via Sub-Link
• Integrates spread spectrum clock generation to reduce EMI

Applications

• Automotive dash cameras
• Surveillance and security cameras
• Industrial vision systems

Procurement Notes
