In this digital era, high-speed, efficient and stable image transmission technology has become the goal pursued by all walks of life. In this field, Microchip's CoaXPress ® 2.0 device is opening a new chapter for high-speed image transmission with its excellent performance and leading technology level.

CoaXPress (CXP) technology has always attracted attention for its unique position in the field of coaxial cable transmission. CoaXPress 2.0 is its latest technological evolution, marking the arrival of a new era of high-speed image transmission technology. With its innovative strength, Microchip has fully tapped the potential of CoaXPress 2.0 to provide users with better and more efficient image transmission solutions.

Don’t worry, in this episode, experts from Microchip will introduce to us Microchip ’s latest developments in the field of CoaXPress ® 2.0 .

Keynote speaker:

Betty Wang , Chief Application Engineer at Microchip

Joined Microchip in 2014 and has 13 years of working experience in the semiconductor industry. Currently responsible for the promotion and support of CoaxPress ® products and motor control solutions.

Microchip CoaXPress 2.0 devices are the industry leader with their high-speed transmission performance. Each coaxial cable channel supports data transfer rates up to 12.5 Gbps , providing users with a wider range of transmission channels. In fields such as medical imaging and industrial vision that require extremely high real-time performance, its high-speed transmission performance has become a booster for technological innovation.

It not only makes great achievements in high-speed transmission, but also caters to the diverse needs of different users with its flexible configuration features. Users can choose the optimal configuration according to specific application scenarios to maximize system performance. This flexibility makes its solutions more widely used in medical, industrial and other fields.

In the field of image transmission, stability is a crucial part. Microchip CoaXPress 2.0 devices transmit through coaxial cables, successfully avoiding signal interference and data loss, providing reliable guarantee for transmission quality. In industrial environments, its stable and reliable performance is highly trusted by users.

The series of devices adopts the CXP 2.0 standard and has the following features

New backwards compatible design
Integrated Clock Data Recovery (CDR) and camera-side clocking at all speed levels
In application scenarios, the transmission speed of cameras and capture cards is 4 to 8 times faster than other solutions, which can significantly improve machine vision processing throughput.
Can support four times the cable/link distance with lower power and near-zero latency.

The new product family also supports seamless locking of all frequencies from CXP-1 to CXP-12 at any speed, increasing design tolerance and flexibility, and supports 12.5 Gbps of bandwidth over a single cable, eliminating the need for multiple channels . A wider range of cabling options ensures the system can be installed where needed, and integrated CDR improves image stabilization of the signal sent from the camera to the capture card. The camera's low-frequency clock recovery feature eliminates the need for separate clock programming in the FPGA. Integrated link signal integrity testing enables the system to perform real-time checks of cable link integrity before and during operation.

In addition, at the scene coverage level, Microchip provides organized system solutions for reference to facilitate R&D personnel to quickly connect application scenarios.
