Analog Devices Car Camera Bus (C²B™) is an innovative new camera link technology enabling HD video over Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables and unshielded connectors. C²B provides an easy upgrade path from SD to HD cameras without the need to change the existing cable and connector infrastructure. C²B enables a camera link with reduced system cost, significant weight savings and increased robustness. The C²B portfolio of transmitter and receiver devices enable seamless camera connectivity in the vehicle. The C²B technology was defined and designed for automotive applications and provides a robust camera link solution for these applications:

Analog Devices is the premier supplier of high performance analog front-end devices in CCD/CIS imaging and time-of-flight applications. Many leading manufacturers of security cameras, machine vision cameras, high-resolution scanners, and other imaging systems depend on ADI’s products to deliver the highest performance with the lowest power dissipation in the market.

Analog Devices's display driver, DecDriver^® family products, are developed to meet the demanding cost and performance targets required by today's consumer display products. The multiple display drivers and the solutions optimized for different panel sizes and performance reuqirements are in demand. Our analog LCD display drivers provide a diverse range of options for industrial and commercial applications. The larger than standard rail-to-rail output swing offered by select members of this product line help enable applications requiring greater dynamic range than standard video op amps allow. Our digital LCD display drivers help meet the increasing demand for higher resolution displays in home entertainment and home theater. This portfolio of products offers improved power, enhanced image quality, and lower costs.

Analog Devices’ digital video signal integrity (SI) solutions, DisplayPort™ (DP), HDMI^®, and DVI™ (TMDS), provide designers with the best picture quality possible. Solutions for next-generation long reach and video distribution applications offer video cable length extension and signal integrity advantages including best automatic performance (no setting or tweaks), lowest jitter (for best and cleaned delivered picture quality), and the most flexible/ease of use (multiple switch configurations) for both cable and PCB applications. ADI also has differential analog video equalizers for composite video (CVBS) over twisted-pair cabling.

Analog Devices offers a range of lens driver solutions for camera modules in camera phones, camera enabled handsets, DSCs, consumer entertainment, and computer imaging. Lens drivers integrate drivers, waveform control, power management, signal processing, travel control, and more to provide the smallest, lowest power, most complete system solutions with the latest motor/actuator technologies.

The abundance of the MIPI^® interface in mobile applications has driven its proliferation into other application areas such as the automotive and broader consumer environments. Analog Devices, an established provider of video products, offers a range of MIPI video devices that provide interfaces to the latest generations of system on chip (SoC) processors. Typical applications for MIPI video devices include the rear-view camera function in the automotive environment and HDMI® output from portable devices featuring a MIPI-capable SoC. The MIPI video device portfolio offers a variety of solutions.

Analog Devices’ portfolio of sample rate converters features industry-leading performance in both audio performance and conversion ratios. These converters can be used in high end consumer applications, as well as in price conscious consumer applications.

Analog Devices has the right solution for designers requiring an amplifier used as a buffer at a gain of 1 or 2. Our easy to use video amplifiers and complementary products for analog video functions are specifically optimized for a particular gain, which helps minimize your design time.

For designers requiring complementary high precision, high speed video digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters, Analog Devices offers a single generation of video codecs. Designed to provide analog video input/output capability for proprietary video systems, ASICs, or FPGAs, the ADV7202 supplies raw video conversion and basic analog signal processing and conditioning to allow highly efficient, well partitioned systems architecture.

Video compression is a critical technology in today’s mobile, networked video ecosystem. The resolutions and bit depths of high quality content require large amounts of scarce bandwith that can’t function without video compression. Symmetric compression is particularly important in live interactions where latency is a key factor. Analog Devices is the leader in JPEG2000-based video compressors, and ADI’s ADV2xx family has established itself as the standard in high quality video compression. ADV2xx video compressors are used in digital cinema projection systems (DCI), professional camera and broadcast systems, studio equipment, and consumer wireless HD applications.

Video decoders continue to remain in demand in many automotive, professional, and consumer video applications. Analog Devices, an industry leader in the analog video product field, offers a range of video decoders that provide high quality conversion of analog video in standard (SD) and high definition (HD) resolutions to digital video data in MIPI or TTL formats. Typical applications include decoding rear-view camera analog video and audio-video receivers. Our video decoder portfolio’s diverse solutions offer competitive advantages such as automotive qualification, on-chip differential input and diagnostic support, superior 3D-comb performance, and small packages (32-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm LFCSP).

Video encoders continue to remain in demand in many automotive, professional, and consumer video applications. Analog Devices, an industry leader in the analog video product field, offers a range of video encoders that provide high quality conversion of digital video data to analog video in standard (SD) and high definition (HD) resolutions. Typical applications include encoding rear-view camera video data and set-top boxes. Our video encoder portfolio’s diverse solutions offer competitive advantages including automotive qualification, high precision conversion (up to 14-bit), simultaneous output of SD and HD video via up to 6 integrated DACs, and small packages (32-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm LFCSP).
