Easily Support WDR CMOS Image Sensor Processing with Low-Cost FPGAs

High-definition (HD) wide dynamic range (WDR) CMOS image sensors are ideal for applications like video surveillance cameras. And for the underlying technology, FPGAs are optimal because they deliver the high bandwidth these sensors demand. In this 7-minute video, you’ll see how an FPGA-based platform easily performs complex image processing to support WDR CMOS image sensors.

Watch the video to:

  • Learn how easily you can incorporate WDR CMOS image sensors into your camera designs.
  • See a demo of the Aptina MT9M033 720p WDR CMOS image sensor, image processing intellectual property (IP) from Apical Ltd., and the Cyclone® III FPGA Development Kit.
  • Understand how the Cyclone III FPGA performs system tasks to transform the sensor’s RAW image data into the digital video interface (DVI) output format.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
