Introduction

Microchip’s CoaXPress offering is a three-board solution that demonstrates high-speed transmission of high-resolution image data from a device to the host. It supports a 12.5G CoaXPress PHY and includes ready to use reference designs for quick prototyping.

Microchip’s CoaXPress FMC daughter card is a hardware evaluation platform for evaluating and testing the CoaXPress protocol. The daughter card works with the PolarFire® video kit (MPF300-VIDEO-KIT-NS) features the PolarFire FPGA device. This kit needs to be purchased separately. The kit is designed for effortless prototyping of popular imaging and video protocols including MIPI CSI-2 TX, MIPI CSI-2 RX, HDMI 1.4 TX, HDMI 2.0, DSI, and HD/3G/6G/12G SDI. With a 300K logic element (LE) PolarFire FPGA with DDR4 and SPI-flash, the kit is ideally suited for mid-bandwidth imaging and video applications.
