The design of hardware circuit for Camera Link interface

The principle of Camera Link interface and the protocol of Camera Link were introduced.The design idea of Camera Link interface circuit was presented.The interface circuit is the front part of image acquisition card,which makes a signal transformation from LVDS to CMOS/TTL and the serial communication between camera and image acquisition system.FPGA was taken as the main controller in the system.Those functions were finally realized in the experiment,completing the acquisition and display of images via the Camera Link interface.
