About the Gmsl serializer PCB
Gmsl serializer is an open source PCB design by antmicro, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 43 × 43 mm, with 98 components from 39 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the AP62301WU-7, REF3012AIDBZT, TLV73312PDBVT and MAX96717GTJ/VY+. By type, the board carries 40 resistors, 33 capacitors, 9 diodes, 7 inductors, 6 ICs and 2 connectors.
From the project
Experimental GMSL2 serializer board compatible with Antmicro MIPI CSI video accessories
This project contains open hardware design files for the GMSL Serializer Board. This board accepts MIPI CSI-2 signals from Antmicro's 50-pin FFC video interface and transmits the video data over GMSL2. The GMSL Serializer Board is powered over GMSL coaxial cable.
The design files were prepared in KiCad 8.
Input: 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface on a 50-pin Antmicro Dual Camera connector Output: GMSL2 interface exposed on a FAKRA connector * PoC filter for sinking power from the GMSL coaxial cable
