Camera Link Electrical Specification

Channel Link Requirements

Each channel link is composed of 5 LVDS pairs:

The following requirements apply to each channel links separately.

Clock Line Requirements

For each channel link individually, the clock signal must satisfy the following requirements:

Data Lines Requirements

For each channel link individually, the electrical signal of the 4 data lines must conform to Camera Link requirements, as specified in the table A-1 (National Semiconductor chip) of the Camera Link Specification v1.1.

Cable Requirements

The camera cables must be Camera Link compliant and terminated with a MiniCL connector at the frame grabber side.

Both PoCL and non-PoCL cables can be used.

Note. The usage of poor quality Camera Link cables may cause malfunction. This becomes critical for systems with a high clock rates or with long cables length. Euresys recommends using Camera Link cables that are certified by the cable manufacturer for the length vs. clock rate combination.
