Cypress Semiconductor Corp and THine Electronics, Inc. developed Ascella - Cypress® CX3™ THine® ISP 13MP reference design kit (RDK).

This RDK is based on Cypress’s EZ-USB® CX3™ USB 3.0 camera controller and THine’s THP7312 image signal processor (ISP). It uses 13MP Autofocus camera module based on OmniVision OV13850 CMOS image sensor. With reference circuit schematics, configurable firmware, a software development kit, and related materials, this kit accelerates customers’ time-to-market without expensive initial costs for developing ISP, CX3 firmware, and tuning image sensor parameters. The kit delivers high-resolution video streaming, support advanced functions such as auto-focus, auto-exposure, auto-white balance and many more features for a broad range of consumer, industrial, medical, educational and automotive applications.

This kit is available through Cypress’s design partner e-con Systems, a leading product design services company specializing in advanced camera solutions.
