EASii IC developed CoaXPress IPs to meet an internal need for designing cameras and recorders that incorporate a high-speed interface. The IPs have been tested and deployed in a large number of systems for various applications, and EASii IC has decided to offer them to its customers for their development projects.
We carried out the development using the same quality standards—such as the UVM methodology—as those used for the development of complex integrated circuits (System-on-Chip). As a result, these IP blocks could be integrated into 1
original equipment in products for the aerospace industry.
On the other hand, in recent years, EASii IC has been ISO9001 and EN9100 certified.
EASii IC can support you in bringing your project to life by handling the development of electronic systems and low-level software associated with CXP IPs. The Design Center has extensive experience in developing digital, analog, and RF electronic boards. The CDE (Electronic Design Center) team also has extensive expertise in FPGAs (Xilinx/Altera/MicroSemi Center of Excellence) as well as capabilities for embedded software development.
Since 2018, our CDE team has been contributing to the development of the standard and has been one of the key players since version 2.0.
CoaXPress (CXP) is the leading global standard for high speed imaging in professional and industrial imaging applications such as machine vision, medical imaging, life sciences, broadcast and defense.
CoaXPress combines the traditional simplicity of coaxial cable with advanced high-speed serial data technology.
The combination of these two characteristics – coaxial cable and “express” speed – provides a highly desirable solution for high speed imaging and data transmission.
The standard is hosted by JIIA (Japan Industrial Imaging Association) with working groups from companies around the world.
It is a low-cost, high-speed solution for interfacing with remote video capture devices via RG59 and RG6 coaxial cables. It allows the hot-plugging of peripherals and their remote power supply in 24V up to 13 watts by cable.
A host can support multiple cameras with a wide variety of video formats. The CoaXPress standard defines an implementation of the GenICam standard, thereby providing a unified software interface for all types of cameras, regardless of their interfaces.
Video streams, up to 256 in total, are sent from a device to the host at a configurable downstream rate ranging from 1.25 Gbps to 12.5 Gbps per cable, using 8b/10b encoding. Each device can have one or more cable connections; a device with 8 connections can achieve a total throughput of 100 Gbps.
The devices are driven from the host through the uplink at a configurable rate of 20.833 Mbps to 41.667 Mbps. The standard also offers a remote, bidirectional trigger mechanism between devices and the host, with low latency and high precision.
The IPs we have developed are already integrated into equipment that is being in industrial and aerospace systems.
We have mastery of all the technologies and know-how that are essential for the design and development of CoaXPress-based solutions.
This is what allows EASii IC today to be one of the rare companies to offer a range of cameras and servers developed to measure for the specific needs of its customers.
