NanoUSB3 Evaluation Kit for NanEye XS
1 Overview
NanEye XS is an image sensor for medical applications. It has a high sensitive rolling shutter pixel
with large full well capacitance, specially designed for medical endoscopic applications where high
SNR is mandatory. The sensor has a high frame rate to permit SNR enhancement and smooth, low
delay display on a wide range of display interface standards.
The sensor features on chip 10 bits ADC and a bit serial interface over LVDS data line. The data
line is semi duplex such that configuration can be communicated to the sensor in the frame break.
The exposure time and analogue gain can be programmed over the serial configuration interface.
The supplied viewer software allows to display the images from the sensor on a screen and also
manipulate the sensor registers. It also has the possibility to run up to 4 NanEye's at the same time.

2 USB3 Evaluation Board
The evaluation kit is composed of two boards, one with the FPGA and USB3 interface and another
for the specific NanEye sensor.

Note:
For each sensor section there are two connectors, but is only possible to
connect one sensor for section. If you connect two sensors in the same section
(for example, A1) you may damage both sensors.
