Introduction

     The NS6012 Serializer chip is compliant to Automotive Wired High-Speed Media Transmission (HSMT) standard.The NS6012 converts MIPI CSI-2 to one HSMT link output for transmission of video and bi-directional control data.HSMT link operates at a data rate up to 6.4Gbps in the forward direction, and 100Mbps in the backward direction.The NS6012 supports Power-over-Cable (PoC) operation over 16 meters Coaxial cable or 10 meters Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, with multiple inline connectors. The NS6012 is ISO 26262 ASIL-B and AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certified with automotive temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

     The NS6012 includes ISO 26262 ASIL-B certified I2C and SPI control ports, flexible GPIO with trigger mode, constant latency mode and oversample mode, tunneled UART,forward and backward audio channels, a built-in ADC,temperature sensor, and an extensive set of diagnostics for functional safety.
