Camera Link PCB

[MJ Pearson]

I'm planning on building a PCB that will let me access to the Camera Link data signals.

I could do with some help on PCB design, ie matching impedances etc, 1st time I've done this sort of thing.

I will need to deserialize the data so was looking at using DS90CR288A. This is the 85Mhz IC, is this the right one for a camera link Base configuration?

Thanks,

Marc.

Hi MJ,

I'm afraid NI can't really help you with the specific details of your chips etc as we didn't make the specification for Camera Link cameras and we don't share out design specifications outside of the company. 

However I think the best people to talk to would be either the manufacturer of the camera you are hoping to use, or have a search for teh Camera Link specifications.  They might be able to help you with the kind of chips, specifications you need to communicate with a CameraLink camera.

Here is a good pdf that details the standards.

Good luck with your PCB

Thanks
