DS90UB954-Q1EVM: Two MIPI CSI2 2 lane outputs from two serialized camera inputs

Part Number: DS90UB954-Q1EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DS90UB954-Q1

I have a three camera system which I need to connect to jetson nano. The jetson nano does not support virtual channels see (forums.developer.nvidia.com/.../4). The solution is for the DS90UB954-Q1 deserializer to use 2 mipi lanes for the one camera and the other two lanes for the second camera. I am not sure if this is possible however because reading through the registers the only similar configuration is in replicate mode (for a single camera). 

System diagram:

The serializer in this configuration will be the DS90UB953

  • Hello Mishak,

    the UB954 does not support 2x seperate MIPI outputs. The CSI-2 output can be used as a single port or dual port in replication mode.

    If you want seperated outputs, I recommend you using the UB960. This device has 2x CSI-2 outputs and can fulfill your expectation.
