Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of signal processing, and particularly to a signal acquisition system and a frequency converter. Background Art

[0002] Currently, during the driving of autonomous vehicles or intelligent driving vehicles, it is usually necessary to transmit the signals collected by image sensors disposed on the vehicle over a long distance to a processor inside the vehicle. Long distance means that due to the large size of the vehicle body, the transmission distance between the sensors mounted on the vehicle body and the processor configured inside the vehicle body is relatively long. Therefore, it is proposed to use a serializer to convert the transmitted signals into serial signals, which can then be transmitted to a deserialzier through a serial transmission cable. Thus, the purpose of combining long-distance signal transmission and long-distance power supply into one is achieved.

[0003] Among them, the models of sensors and serializers are diverse, and the signal transmission frequencies of different models of sensors and serializers are also different. When the sensor transmits signals to the serializer, problems such as signal transmission being impossible due to different signal transmission frequencies are usually encountered.

[0004] For example, the pixel clock frequency of the pixel clock signal (PCLK) of the video output interface of a CMOS sensor with a relatively low resolution (such as an infrared sensor and a ToF sensor, etc.) is usually relatively low (lower than 20 MHz), while the serializer input interface usually has a minimum requirement for the pixel clock frequency of the input video pixel clock signal (PCLK) (such as 37.5 MHz). This will result in a situation where the sensor and the serializer are not compatible and signal transmission is impossible.

[0005] Aiming at the technical problem in the above-mentioned existing technology that the output pixel clock frequency of the sensor and the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer are not compatible and signal transmission is impossible, no effective solution has been proposed yet. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The utility model provides a signal acquisition system and a frequency converter to at least solve the technical problem in the existing technology that the output pixel clock frequency of the sensor and the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer are not compatible and signal transmission is impossible.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present application, a signal acquisition system is provided, including: a frequency converter, a sensor, and a serializer. The frequency converter is connected to the sensor and is configured to convert a first pixel clock frequency of a first pixel clock signal corresponding to pixel data transmitted by the sensor into a second pixel clock frequency adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer.

[0008] Optionally, the frequency converter includes: a first memory, a retimer, and a second memory. The first memory is configured to store pixel data corresponding to the first pixel clock signal.

The second memory is configured to store the pixel data corresponding to the second pixel clock signal transmitted by the retimer.

[0009] Optionally, the frequency converter further includes: a signal input interface for receiving the first pixel clock signal transmitted by the sensor.

[0010] Optionally, the frequency converter further includes: a signal output interface for outputting the second pixel clock signal.

[0012] Optionally, the frequency converter further includes: a MIPI CSI-2 controller for transmitting the pixel data sent by the signal input interface to the first memory.

[0013] Optionally, the frequency converter further includes: a MIPI CSI controller for transmitting the pixel data transmitted by the second memory to the signal output interface.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present application, a frequency converter is provided. The frequency converter is configured to convert a first pixel clock frequency of a first pixel clock signal corresponding to pixel data transmitted by the sensor into a second pixel clock frequency adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer. The frequency converter is connected to the serializer and is configured to transmit a second pixel clock signal having the second pixel clock frequency to the serializer and transmit the pixel data to the serializer according to a data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal.

[0015] Optionally, the frequency converter includes: a first memory, a retimer, and a second memory, where the first memory is used to store pixel data corresponding to a first pixel clock signal; the retimer is connected to the first memory and is used to generate a second pixel clock signal with a second pixel clock frequency, obtain the pixel data stored in the first memory according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the first pixel clock signal, and transmit the pixel data to the second memory according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal; and the second memory is used to store the pixel data corresponding to the second pixel clock signal transmitted by the retimer.

[0016] Optionally, the frequency converter further includes: a signal input interface for receiving the first pixel clock signal transmitted by the sensor.

[0017] In the embodiments of the present application, in the technical solution, a frequency converter is provided between a sensor with an inadaptable pixel clock frequency and a serializer. The frequency converter converts the first pixel clock frequency of the first pixel clock signal output by the sensor into a second pixel clock frequency adaptable to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer, and correspondingly converts the data transmission rate of the pixel data signal, so that the pixel data signal always corresponds to the pixel clock signal. Thus, the frequency converter transmits the second pixel clock signal with the second pixel clock frequency and the pixel data signal to the serializer. Since the second pixel clock frequency of the second pixel clock signal is adaptable to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer, the technical effect of signal transmission between a sensor with an inadaptable pixel clock frequency and a serializer is achieved. Furthermore, the technical problem in the prior art that the output pixel clock frequency of the sensor and the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer are inadaptable and signal transmission cannot be performed is solved.

[0030] Figure 1 An exemplary schematic diagram of the signal acquisition system described in the embodiments of the present application is shown. Refer to Figure 1 As shown, a signal acquisition system is provided, including: a frequency converter 100, a sensor 200, and a serializer 300. The frequency converter 100 is connected to the sensor 200 and is configured to convert the first pixel clock frequency of the first pixel clock signal corresponding to the pixel data transmitted by the sensor 200 into a second pixel clock frequency adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer 300. The frequency converter 100 is connected to the serializer 300 and is configured to transmit the second pixel clock signal having the second pixel clock frequency to the serializer 300 and transmit the pixel data to the serializer 300 according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal.

[0031] As described in the background art, there are various models of sensors and serializers, and the signal transmission frequencies of different models of sensors and serializers are also different. When a sensor transmits a signal to a serializer, problems such as signal transmission failure due to different signal transmission frequencies often occur. For example, the pixel clock frequency of the pixel clock signal (PCLK) at the video output interface of a CMOS sensor with a relatively low resolution (such as an infrared sensor and a ToF sensor, etc.) is usually relatively low (lower than 20 MHz), while the serializer input interface usually has a minimum requirement for the pixel clock frequency of the input video pixel clock signal (PCLK) (such as 37.5 MHz). This can lead to a situation where the sensor and the serializer are not compatible and signal transmission cannot be performed.

[0032] To address the above technical problems, through the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application, the sensor 200 acquires a pixel data signal corresponding to the pixel data and a pixel clock signal corresponding to the pixel data signal (i.e., the first pixel clock signal). Then, the sensor 200 needs to transmit the pixel data signal and the first pixel clock signal to the serializer 300. The pixel clock frequency of the first pixel clock signal transmitted by the sensor 200 (i.e., the first pixel clock frequency) does not match the input pixel clock frequency that the serializer can receive. For example, the output pixel clock frequency supported by the video output interface of the sensor is relatively low, at 20 MHz. The input pixel clock frequency supported by the input interface of the serializer is relatively high, at 37.5 MHz. Thus, the sensor 200 transmits the first pixel clock signal having the first pixel clock frequency to the frequency converter 100 for signal frequency conversion. Then, the frequency converter 100 receives the first pixel clock signal transmitted by the sensor 200, converts the first pixel clock frequency of the first pixel clock signal into a pixel clock frequency of 37.5 MHz (i.e., the second pixel clock frequency) adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer 300, and generates a second pixel clock signal having the second pixel clock frequency.

[0033] Further, after the frequency converter 100 performs frequency conversion on the first pixel clock frequency of the first pixel clock signal, a data transmission rate corresponding to the transmitted pixel data is generated according to the obtained second pixel frequency after conversion. Wherein the data transmission rate = second pixel clock frequency * number of bus bits / 8. The number of bus bits is, for example, 32 bits. Then, the frequency converter 100 transmits the pixel data to the serializer 300 in the form of a pixel data signal according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal, and transmits the second pixel clock signal to the serializer 300. Then, the serializer 300 receives the pixel data signal and the corresponding second pixel clock signal transmitted by the frequency converter 100 and uses them as input signals.

[0034] It should be noted that the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer is usually within a preset range, such as 37.5 MHz to 100 MHz. Therefore, in this technical solution, only the first pixel clock frequency needs to be converted to the preset range, that is, any frequency between 37.5 MHz and 100 MHz.

[0035] Therefore, in this technical solution, a frequency converter is provided between the sensor with mismatched pixel clock frequencies and the serializer. The frequency converter converts the first pixel clock frequency of the first pixel clock signal output by the sensor into a second pixel clock frequency adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer, and correspondingly converts the data transmission rate of the pixel data signal, so that the pixel data signal and the pixel clock signal are always corresponding. Then, the frequency converter transmits the second pixel clock signal with the second pixel clock frequency and the pixel data signal to the serializer. Since the second pixel clock frequency of the second pixel clock signal is adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer, the technical effect of signal transmission between the sensor with mismatched pixel clock frequencies and the serializer is achieved. Furthermore, the technical problem in the prior art that the output pixel clock frequency of the sensor and the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer are mismatched and signal transmission cannot be performed is solved.

[0036] Optionally, the frequency converter 100 includes: a first memory 110, a retimer 120, and a second memory 130. The first memory 110 is used to store pixel data corresponding to the first pixel clock signal; the retimer 120 is connected to the first memory 110 and is used to generate a second pixel clock signal with the second pixel clock frequency, obtain the pixel data stored in the first memory 110 according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the first pixel clock signal, and transmit the pixel data to the second memory 130 according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal; and the second memory 130 is used to store the pixel data corresponding to the second pixel clock signal transmitted by the retimer 120.

[0037] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the sensor 200 transmits a first pixel clock signal having a first pixel clock frequency to the frequency converter 100, and the sensor 200 transmits pixel data to the frequency converter 100 in the form of a pixel data signal according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the first pixel clock signal. The first memory 110 of the frequency converter 100 stores the pixel data.

[0038] Further, the retimer 120 of the frequency converter 100 generates a pixel clock frequency having the same frequency as the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer 300 according to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer 300. Thus, the retimer 120 converts the first pixel clock frequency of the first pixel clock signal into a pixel clock frequency adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer 300 (i.e., the second pixel clock frequency), and generates a second pixel clock signal having the second pixel clock frequency. After that, the retimer 120 determines a corresponding data transmission rate (i.e., the second data transmission rate) for transmitting pixel data according to the second pixel clock signal. Then, the retimer 120 obtains a corresponding amount of pixel data from the first memory 110 according to the first data transmission rate, and transmits the pixel data in the form of a pixel data signal according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal, and further transmits the pixel data to the second memory 130 for storage. Since the sensor 200 transmits the pixel data signal at the data transmission rate corresponding to the first pixel clock signal, and the retimer 120 transmits the pixel data signal at the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal, and the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal is greater than the data transmission rate corresponding to the first pixel clock signal, when the retimer 120 transmits the pixel data signal at the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal, it is necessary to wait for the sensor 200 to transmit sufficient pixel data to the first memory 110 before the retimer 120 can obtain pixel data from the first memory 110 and transmit the pixel data.

[0039] Thus, in this technical solution, by using the first memory as a buffer for pixel data transmission, the retimer can transmit pixel data at a faster data transmission rate, avoiding transmission interruption caused by insufficient data.

[0040] Optionally, the frequency converter 100 further includes: a signal input interface 140 for receiving the first pixel clock signal transmitted by the sensor 200.

[0041] Specifically, referring to Figure 3As shown, the sensor 200 transmits the pixel data signal and the first pixel clock signal of the pixel data to the frequency converter 100, and the frequency converter 100 receives the pixel data signal and the first pixel clock signal through the set input interface 140. This ensures the accurate transmission of the signal.

[0042] Optionally, the frequency converter 100 further includes: a signal output interface 150 for outputting a second pixel clock signal.

[0043] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the second memory 130 of the frequency converter 100 transmits the pixel data signal and the corresponding second pixel clock signal to the signal output interface 150. The signal output interface 150 is connected to the serializer 300 and transmits the pixel data signal and the second pixel clock signal to the serializer 300. This ensures the accurate transmission of the signal.

[0044] Optionally, the frequency converter 100 includes at least one of the following frequency converters: an MIPI signal frequency converter and an LVCMOS frequency converter.

[0045] Specifically, different serializers need to be connected to the matching frequency converters. For example, for the serializer of model UB933, the matching frequency converter is an LVCMOS frequency converter. The LVCMOS frequency converter is used to perform frequency conversion on the CMOS signal (i.e., the pixel data signal).

[0046] For example, for the serializer of model UB953, the matching frequency converter is an MIPI signal frequency converter. The MIPI signal frequency converter is used to perform frequency conversion on the MIPI signal (i.e., the pixel data signal).

[0047] Thus, this technical solution has a matching frequency converter for different serializers, so that most sensors and serializers can be connected for signal transmission, reducing the limitations between sensors and serializers.

[0048] Optionally, the frequency converter 100 further includes: an MIPI CSI-2 controller 160 for transmitting the pixel data sent by the signal input interface 140 to the first memory 110.

[0049] Specifically, refer to Figure 5As shown, when the frequency converter is a MIPI signal frequency converter, in addition to the signal input interface 140, the first memory 110, the retimer 120, the second memory 130, and the signal output interface 150, the frequency converter 100 further includes a MIPI CSI-2 controller 160, and the transmitted pixel data signal is a MIPI signal. Thus, after the frequency converter 100 receives a MIPI signal through the signal input interface 140 according to the pixel clock frequency of the MIPI signal (for example, the first pixel clock frequency of the MIPI signal), it will transmit the MIPI signal to the MIPI CSI-2 controller 160 according to the pixel clock frequency of the MIPI signal (i.e., the first pixel clock frequency of the MIPI signal). The MIPI CSI-2 controller 160 analyzes the MIPI signal to obtain pixel data and stores the pixel data in the first memory 110. Therefore, this technical solution ensures that the MIPI signal is read and transmitted at the correct time point through the MIPI CSI-2 controller 160, ensuring stable signal transmission.

[0050] Optionally, the frequency converter 100 further includes: a MIPI CSI controller 170, configured to transmit the pixel data transmitted by the second memory 130 to the signal output interface 150.

[0051] Specifically, referring to Figure 6 As shown, when the frequency converter is a MIPI signal frequency converter, the frequency converter 100 further includes a MIPI CSI controller 170, and the transmitted pixel data signal is a MIPI signal. The MIPI CSI controller 170 is respectively connected to the second memory 130 and the signal output interface 150. Thus, the MIPI CSI controller 170 reads pixel data from the second memory 130 at the second pixel clock frequency of the MIPI signal, and then the MIPI CSI controller 170 transmits the pixel data to the signal output interface 150 in the form of a MIPI signal according to the second pixel clock frequency. Therefore, this technical solution ensures that the MIPI signal is read and transmitted at the correct time point through the MIPI CS controller 170, ensuring stable signal transmission.

[0052] Thus, according to the first aspect of this embodiment, in this technical solution, a frequency converter is provided between a sensor with a mismatched pixel clock frequency and a serializer. The frequency converter converts the first pixel clock frequency of the first pixel clock signal output by the sensor into a second pixel clock frequency adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer, and correspondingly converts the data transmission rate of the pixel data signal, so that the pixel data signal always corresponds to the pixel clock signal. Then, the frequency converter transmits the second pixel clock signal with the second pixel clock frequency and the pixel data signal to the serializer. Since the second pixel clock frequency of the second pixel clock signal is adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer, the technical effect of signal transmission between the sensor with a mismatched pixel clock frequency and the serializer is achieved. Furthermore, the technical problem in the prior art that the output pixel clock frequency of the sensor and the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer are mismatched and signal transmission cannot be performed is solved.

[0053] In addition, according to the second aspect of this embodiment, a frequency converter 100 is provided. The frequency converter 100 is configured to convert the first pixel clock frequency of the first pixel clock signal corresponding to the pixel data transmitted by the sensor 200 into a second pixel clock frequency adapted to the input pixel clock frequency of the serializer 300; and the frequency converter 100 is connected to the serializer 300 and is configured to transmit the second pixel clock signal with the second pixel clock frequency to the serializer 300 and transmit the pixel data to the serializer 300 according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal.

[0054] Optionally, the frequency converter 100 includes: a first memory 110, a retimer 120, and a second memory 130. The first memory 110 is configured to store pixel data corresponding to the first pixel clock signal; the retimer 120 is connected to the first memory 110 and is configured to generate a second pixel clock signal with the second pixel clock frequency, obtain the pixel data stored in the first memory 110 according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the first pixel clock signal, and transmit the pixel data to the second memory 130 according to the data transmission rate corresponding to the second pixel clock signal; and the second memory 130 is configured to store the pixel data corresponding to the second pixel clock signal transmitted by the retimer 120.

[0055] Optionally, the frequency converter 100 further includes: a signal input interface 140 for receiving the first pixel clock signal transmitted by the sensor 200.
