AMD HW-IMX547C-SK-G

Overview

HW-IMX547C-SK-G from FRAMOS is a complete camera development kit built around the Sony IMX547-AAQJ 5.1 MP global shutter CMOS image sensor in color configuration, delivering up to 122 FPS at 2-lane SLVS-EC output, 2.74 µm pixel pitch, and 1/1.8" optical format for high-speed industrial machine vision applications.

For engineers reviewing the HW-IMX547C-SK-G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this kit provides validated integration with the AMD-Xilinx Kria™ KR260 Robotics Starter Kit, includes I²C control interface, SLVS-EC data interface, and pre-assembled mechanical components including C/CS-mount with IR cut filter and 8.5 mm F1.4 lens.

Technical Context

This kit implements the FRAMOS Sensor Module (FSM) ecosystem architecture, integrating Sony's Pregius S Gen4 IMX547-AAQJ sensor with FRAMOS' FSA-FT18/BC sensor adapter to enable SLVS-EC (5 Gbps per lane) and SLVS operation modes, supporting 8/10/12-bit output depth and programmable drive frequencies of 37.125 / 54 / 74.25 MHz.

The hardware stack includes a Hirose DF40C-60DP-0.4V(51) connector interface, on-board power sequencing via LDOs for 3.8 V and 1.8 V rails, and full synchronization support via XTRIG, XMASTER, TOUT, and XHS signals - all routed through the FSA to match the KR260's PixelMateS™ reference implementation.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the HW-IMX547C-SK-G kit?

The HW-IMX547C-SK-G kit is a pre-integrated camera development solution centered on the Sony IMX547-AAQJ color global shutter image sensor. It delivers full-stack readiness for rapid evaluation and prototyping - including sensor module, FRAMOS FSA-FT18/BC adapter, C/CS-mount with IR cut filter, 8.5 mm F1.4 lens, flex cable, and tripod adapter - enabling immediate connection to AMD-Xilinx Kria™ KR260 via SLVS-EC. The HW-IMX547C-SK-G supports deterministic timing, multi-sensor synchronization, and Linux V4L2 driver compatibility out-of-the-box.

Which processor platforms does HW-IMX547C-SK-G directly support?

The HW-IMX547C-SK-G is natively validated for the AMD-Xilinx Kria™ KR260 Robotics Starter Kit using its SLVS-EC reference implementation and PixelMateS™ interface. It also supports any platform compatible with the FRAMOS Processor Adapter (FPA-ABC/XX1) that accepts SLVS or SLVS-EC inputs. The HW-IMX547C-SK-G requires the FSA-FT18/BC adapter to operate - direct connection to carrier boards without this adapter is not supported and may cause damage.

Does HW-IMX547C-SK-G include software drivers and firmware?

Yes - the HW-IMX547C-SK-G bundle includes AMD-Xilinx's 10GigE Vision Accelerated Application for KR260, Linux V4L2 drivers with basic sensor node control, and FRAMOS' SLVS-EC IP Core Reference Implementation. These are delivered as part of the FRAMOS FSM Ecosystem software package and require no additional licensing. The HW-IMX547C-SK-G does not include proprietary closed-source firmware; all drivers and IP are provided in source or synthesizable RTL form for customization.

What are the key electrical interfaces exposed by HW-IMX547C-SK-G?

The HW-IMX547C-SK-G exposes two primary electrical interfaces: (1) SLVS-EC data interface with configurable 1- or 2-lane operation (5 Gbps per lane), and (2) I²C (4-wire serial) for sensor configuration and status readback. Power is delivered via dedicated 3.8 V and 1.8 V rails managed by the FSA-FT18/BC adapter. All control signals - including XTRIG, XMASTER, TOUT, OMODE, and SLAMODE - are accessible through the Hirose DF40C-60DP-0.4V(51) connector on the HW-IMX547C-SK-G's FSA board.

Can HW-IMX547C-SK-G be used in outdoor or harsh environmental conditions?

The HW-IMX547C-SK-G sensor module is rated for case operating temperatures from −30°C to +75°C and storage from −40°C to +85°C, with humidity tolerance of 20–95% RH (non-condensing). However, the kit is supplied as an evaluation-grade OEM component without sealed housing or IP-rated enclosure. For outdoor or industrial deployment, users must integrate the HW-IMX547C-SK-G into a custom mechanical assembly with appropriate thermal management, EMI shielding, and environmental sealing - consistent with FRAMOS' guidance for board-level components.
