Description

The RAA279972 is a high-definition analog video decoder designed for automotive applications. It supports single-ended, differential, and pseudo-differential analog composite high-definition AHL video inputs. The high-quality 10-bit video ADC converts the signal to digital, and a proprietary AHL adaptive comb filter separates Luma and Chroma data to output a YUV422 digital video signal over a two-lane MIPI-CSI2 interface or a DVP/BT.656 parallel interface. The RAA279972 has integrated short-to-battery and short-to-ground detection and image enhancement features, making it an ideal solution for demanding high-resolution automotive camera applications. When paired with the RAA279971 encoder, an analog video link is established over a single wire pair.

Knowledge Base

  1. AHL 能否支持通过相同电缆供电(如 SerDes)?

    不,模拟信号噪音过多,但我们在考虑如何在新世代的 AHL 中实现相同电缆的供电。

  2. 能否使用 AHL 控制通道从 ECU 初始化照相机?

    可以,AHL 的控制通道在芯片启动后立即开始工作。控制通道独立于视频运行,因此不需要主动为控制通道工作而传输

  3. What type of cables and connectors must be used with AHL transmission?

    AHL can be used with UTP, low-cost STP, and coaxial cables. The same traditional connectors that are used with NTSC/PAL analog video can also be used with AHL.
