GiDEL's PSDB CL™

Overview

GiDEL PSDB CL™ is a type 1 PSDB. This means that uses a single connector to connect to the PROC motherboard. On the PROC boards, this connector is located to the left of the target FPGA.

PSDB CL™ is designed to provide a CameraLink connection to the PROC motherboard via its panel. Therefore, this daughterboard is intended to be placed on location 1 when possible. Nevertheless, it will work properly when connected to any other location on the PROC board.

GiDEL PSDB_CL™ was designed to provide a simple and convenient way to connect an external camera to GiDEL PROCStar II™ and PROCSpark II™ boards.

PSDB CL key Features Include:

  • Support of standard CameraLink modes (base, medium, full or dual base assembly)
  • Serial Communication with camera
  • Simple interface
  • Automatic detection by hardware / software
  • Designed to work with GiDEL PROCCamLink™ IP
  • Automatic integration of PROCCamLink IP into user's toplevel design using GiDEL PROCWizard™

PSDB_CL uses two MDR 26-pin female connectors (J1 and J3), according the CameraLink standard.

The following adapters are used in PSDB_CL to adapt the CameraLink Signals:

  • National Semiconductor DS90CR288A for LVDS to LVTTL adapting of data signals.
  • National Semiconductor DS90LV047A for LVDS to LVTTL adapting of control signals.
  • National Semiconductor DS90LV019 for LVDS to LVTTL adapting of serial control signals.
