在一實施例中,時脈轉換單元40、第一延遲單元42、資料轉換單元43及除頻單元44可透過電路、晶片等形式來實現其功能,需注意的是,本發明並沒有限定時脈轉換單元40、第一延遲單元42、資料轉換單元43及除頻單元44的電路結構,只要能實現本文中記載的功能,即屬於本發明所涵蓋的範圍。在一實施例中,邏輯處理單元45可以是電場可程式化邏輯閘陣列(field programmable gate array,FPGA)晶片,影像資料可採用MIPI D-PHY協定的資料格式,影像擷取卡4可為MIPI影像擷取卡,為方便說明,以下皆以此為舉例,但本發明不限於此。 In one embodiment, the clock conversion unit 40, the first delay unit 42, the data conversion unit 43, and the frequency divider unit 44 can realize their functions through circuits, chips, etc., it should be noted that the present invention is not limited in time. The circuit structures of the pulse conversion unit 40, the first delay unit 42, the data conversion unit 43, and the frequency divider unit 44 are within the scope of the present invention as long as they can realize the functions described in this text. In one embodiment, the logic processing unit 45 may be a field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip, the image data may adopt the data format of the MIPI D-PHY protocol, and the image capture card 4 may be MIPI For the convenience of description, the image capture card is taken as an example below, but the present invention is not limited to this.

需注意的是,在MIPI D-PHY協議的架構下,影像資料通常會被分為一個時脈訊號(例如第一時脈訊號Clk)及四個資料訊號Data(需注意的是,當使用不同的協議時,影像資料可能有不同數量的資料訊號),並透過不同的訊號走線路徑被傳送至影像擷取卡4,也因此資料轉換單元43通常會接收到四個資料訊號。然而,由於每個測試系統1中的佈線(layout)方式不一定相同,其訊號走線路徑長短亦不一定相同,因此影像擷取卡4所接收到的第一時脈訊號Clk及該等資料訊號Data的時序可能不一致,如此將導致邏輯處理單元45在進行訊號解碼時發生問題。本發明的第一延遲單元42可解決此問題,第一延遲單元42可調整時脈訊號Clk的時序位置,使時脈訊號Clk與該等資料訊號Data的時序位置相對應;需注意的是,在本實施例中,「時脈訊號Clk與該等資料訊號Data的時序相對應」可定義為時脈訊號Clk的高電位期間與每個資料訊號Data的高電位期間大致重疊或完全重疊。 It should be noted that under the MIPI D-PHY protocol architecture, image data is usually divided into one clock signal (such as the first clock signal Clk) and four data signals Data (note that when using different According to the protocol, the image data may have different numbers of data signals), and are transmitted to the image capture card 4 through different signal routing paths. Therefore, the data conversion unit 43 usually receives four data signals. However, because the layout of each test system 1 is not necessarily the same, and the length of the signal routing path is not necessarily the same, so the first clock signal Clk received by the image capture card 4 and the data The timing of the signal Data may be inconsistent, which will cause problems when the logic processing unit 45 performs signal decoding. The first delay unit 42 of the present invention can solve this problem. The first delay unit 42 can adjust the timing position of the clock signal Clk so that the clock signal Clk corresponds to the timing position of the data signals Data; it should be noted that, In this embodiment, “the timing of the clock signal Clk corresponding to the data signals Data” can be defined as the high-potential period of the clock signal Clk and the high-potential period of each data signal Data substantially overlap or completely overlap.

圖3(B)是圖3(A)之第一實施例的訊號時序圖,其中圖3(B)的左半部是第一時脈訊號Clk及複數個資料訊號Data1~Data4的訊號時序,右半部是表示經由第一延遲單元42調整時序位置後的時脈訊號(第二時脈訊號Clk2)及複數個資料訊號Data1~Data4的訊號時序。如圖3(B)左半部所示,在未調整時序位置時,雖第一時脈訊號Clk與部分資料訊號Data1及Data4的時序位置可完全或大致對應(亦即兩者的高電位期間實質上可完全重疊),但第一時脈訊號Clk與其餘資料訊號Data2及Data3的時序位置並無法相對應(亦即時脈訊號Clk的高電位期間與資料訊號Data2及Data3的高電位期間的重疊期間過少,如此可能會使得訊號完整性受影響,進而導致邏輯處理單元45在進行訊號解碼時產生問題,例如訊號扭曲(skew)等間題。又如圖3(B)右半部所示,在透過第一延遲單元42調整時脈訊號Clk的時序之後,時脈訊號Clk的高電位期間與所有資料訊號Data1~Data4的高電位期間皆大致重疊或完整重疊,也因此邏輯處理單元45在進行訊號解碼時仍可維持一定程度的訊號完整性。藉此,訊號扭曲等問題將可被解決。 Fig. 3(B) is a signal timing diagram of the first embodiment of Fig. 3(A), in which the left half of Fig. 3(B) is the signal timing of the first clock signal Clk and a plurality of data signals Data1~Data4. The right half shows the signal timing of the clock signal (the second clock signal Clk2) and the plurality of data signals Data1 to Data4 after adjusting the timing position of the first delay unit 42. As shown in the left half of Figure 3(B), when the timing position is not adjusted, although the timing positions of the first clock signal Clk and part of the data signals Data1 and Data4 can completely or roughly correspond (that is, the high potential period of both In fact, it can be completely overlapped), but the timing positions of the first clock signal Clk and the remaining data signals Data2 and Data3 cannot correspond (also the overlap of the high-potential period of the real-time pulse signal Clk and the high-potential periods of the data signals Data2 and Data3) If the period is too short, the signal integrity may be affected, and the logic processing unit 45 may cause problems in signal decoding, such as signal skew. As shown in the right half of Figure 3(B), After adjusting the timing of the clock signal Clk through the first delay unit 42, the high-potential period of the clock signal Clk and the high-potential periods of all the data signals Data1 to Data4 are substantially overlapped or completely overlapped, and therefore the logic processing unit 45 is performing A certain degree of signal integrity can still be maintained when the signal is decoded. With this, problems such as signal distortion can be solved.

此外,本發明的另一特色是具備了除頻單元44,且邏輯處理單元45的系統時脈451是採用降頻處理後的時脈訊號(第三時脈訊號Clk3)。藉此,即便影像擷取卡4所取得的影像資料的時脈頻率高於邏輯處理單元45所能負荷的工作頻率,除頻單元44依舊可以將影像資料的時脈頻率降頻至所能負荷的工作頻率。藉此,本發明的影像擷取卡4可適用目前各種MIPI D-PHY規範的工作頻率,例如1.5Gbps、2.5Gbps、4.5Gbps等,相較之下,現今市面上的影像擷取卡皆僅能適用1.5Gbps的頻率規格。 In addition, another feature of the present invention is that the frequency dividing unit 44 is provided, and the system clock 451 of the logic processing unit 45 is a clock signal after frequency down processing (the third clock signal Clk3). Thereby, even if the clock frequency of the image data obtained by the image capture card 4 is higher than the working frequency that the logic processing unit 45 can load, the frequency dividing unit 44 can still reduce the clock frequency of the image data to the load. Working frequency. As a result, the image capture card 4 of the present invention can be adapted to the operating frequencies of various MIPI D-PHY specifications, such as 1.5Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 4.5Gbps, etc. In contrast, the image capture cards currently on the market are only The frequency specification of 1.5Gbps can be applied.

另外,第一實施例亦可具備不同的改良。圖3(C)是本發明第一實施例的影像擷取卡4的改良結構示意圖。如圖3(C)所示,除頻單元44是整合於邏 輯處理單元45之中,亦即邏輯處理單元45本身可內建除頻單元44的功能。在一實施例中,邏輯處理單元45中的除頻單元44可以是一電腦程式產品,使邏輯處理單元45執行訊號降頻之處理,但並非限定。在此改良結構下,藉由第一延遲單元42調整時序位置後的第二時脈訊號Clk2是直接輸入至邏輯處理單元45,並在邏輯處理單元45之中進行降頻處理而形成第三時脈訊號Clk3,其中第三時脈訊號Clk3可做為邏輯處理單元45的系統時脈451。本發明亦可具備不同的實施態樣。圖4(A)是本發明第二實施例的影像擷取卡4的細部結構示意圖。如圖4(A)所示,影像擷取卡4可包含一時脈轉換單元40、一第一延遲單元42、一資料轉換單元43、一除頻單元44、一邏輯處理單元45及一第二延遲單元46,其中時脈轉換單元40、第一延遲單元42、資料轉換單元43、除頻單元44及邏輯處理單元45可適用第一實施例的內容,故不再詳述。第二延遲單元46與資料轉換單元43連接,用以調整資料轉換單元43所取得的資料訊號Data的時序位置,換言之,相較於第一實施例僅有時脈訊號Clk會進行時序位置的調整,第二實施例中的時脈訊號Clk及資料訊號Data皆會進行時序位置的調整。此外,在一實施例中,第二延遲單元46可透過電路、晶片等形式來實現其功能。 In addition, the first embodiment can also have various improvements. FIG. 3(C) is a schematic diagram of an improved structure of the image capture card 4 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3(C), the frequency divider 44 is integrated in the logic Among the logical processing unit 45, that is, the logic processing unit 45 itself can have a built-in function of the frequency removing unit 44. In one embodiment, the frequency dividing unit 44 in the logic processing unit 45 can be a computer program product, which enables the logic processing unit 45 to perform signal down-frequency processing, but it is not limited. Under this improved structure, the second clock signal Clk2 after adjusting the timing position by the first delay unit 42 is directly input to the logic processing unit 45, and the frequency reduction processing is performed in the logic processing unit 45 to form the third timing. The third clock signal Clk3 can be used as the system clock 451 of the logic processing unit 45. The present invention can also have different implementation aspects. FIG. 4(A) is a schematic diagram showing the detailed structure of the image capture card 4 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. 4(A), the image capture card 4 may include a clock conversion unit 40, a first delay unit 42, a data conversion unit 43, a frequency division unit 44, a logic processing unit 45, and a second The delay unit 46, in which the clock conversion unit 40, the first delay unit 42, the data conversion unit 43, the frequency divider unit 44 and the logic processing unit 45 can be applied to the content of the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described in detail. The second delay unit 46 is connected to the data conversion unit 43 to adjust the timing position of the data signal Data obtained by the data conversion unit 43. In other words, compared to the first embodiment, only the clock signal Clk will adjust the timing position In the second embodiment, both the clock signal Clk and the data signal Data will adjust the timing position. In addition, in an embodiment, the second delay unit 46 can realize its function through a circuit, a chip, or the like.

圖4(B)是圖4(A)之第二實施例的訊號時序圖,其中圖4(B)的左半部是第一時脈訊號Clk及複數個資料訊號Data1~Data4的訊號時序,右半部是表示經由第一延遲單元42調整後的時脈訊號(第二時脈訊號Clk2)及經由第二延遲單元46調整後的資料訊號Data1’~Data4’的訊號時序。如圖4(B)左半部所示,雖第一時脈訊號Clk與部分資料訊號Data1及Data4的時序位置可完全或大致對應,但第一時脈訊號Clk與其餘資料訊號Data2及Data3的時序位置並無法相對應,如此可能導致邏輯處理單元45在進行訊號解碼時發生問題。又如圖4(B)右半部所示,在透過第一 延遲單元42調整第一時脈訊號Clk的時序位置以及透過第二延遲單元46調整資料訊號Data1~Data4的時序位置之後,第二時脈訊號Clk2的高電位期間與所有資料訊號Data1’~Data4’的高電位期間完全或大致對應。藉此,訊號扭曲等問題將可被解決。 Fig. 4(B) is a signal timing diagram of the second embodiment of Fig. 4(A), in which the left half of Fig. 4(B) is the signal timing of the first clock signal Clk and a plurality of data signals Data1~Data4, The right half shows the signal timing of the clock signal adjusted by the first delay unit 42 (the second clock signal Clk2) and the data signal Data1'~Data4' adjusted by the second delay unit 46. As shown in the left half of Figure 4(B), although the timing positions of the first clock signal Clk and some of the data signals Data1 and Data4 can completely or roughly correspond to each other, the first clock signal Clk and the remaining data signals Data2 and Data3 The timing position cannot be corresponding, and this may cause problems when the logic processing unit 45 performs signal decoding. As shown in the right half of Figure 4(B), the After the delay unit 42 adjusts the timing position of the first clock signal Clk and adjusts the timing positions of the data signals Data1~Data4 through the second delay unit 46, the high potential period of the second clock signal Clk2 and all the data signals Data1'~Data4' The high potential period completely or roughly corresponds. In this way, problems such as signal distortion can be solved.

如圖4(B)所示,由於具備第二延遲單元46,資料訊號Data1~Data4的時序位置亦可被調整,因此第二時脈訊號Clk2與資料訊號Data1’~Data4’的時序位置可精準地相對應,進而提升訊號解碼時的訊號完整性。 As shown in Figure 4(B), due to the second delay unit 46, the timing positions of the data signals Data1~Data4 can also be adjusted, so the timing positions of the second clock signal Clk2 and the data signals Data1'~Data4' can be accurate Corresponding to the ground, thereby enhancing the signal integrity during signal decoding.

請再次參考圖4(A)及4(B)。第一延遲單元42及第二延遲單元46可透過各種可實現的方法使得時脈訊號Clk及資料訊號Data1~Data4的時序位置一致。舉例來說,影像擷取卡4可更包含一儲存單元47,用以儲存一時脈校正資料,而第一延遲單元42及第二延遲單元46可根據時脈校正資料來調整時脈訊號Clk及資料訊號Data1~Data4的時序位置。在一實施例中,儲存單元47可預先儲存一測試用影像資料(例如一測試圖片),並且在接收實際的影像資料之前,影像資料來源可透過該等訊號走線傳送該測試圖片至影像擷取卡4,而影像擷取卡4可將接收到的測試圖片與儲存單元47中所儲存的測試圖片進行比較,進而產生時序校正資訊。在一實施例中,第一實施例中的第一延遲單元42亦可藉由上述方法來取得時序校正資訊,並根據時序校正資訊調整時脈訊號Clk的時序位置。需注意的是,本發明亦可透過其它方式進行時序位置的校正。 Please refer to Figure 4(A) and 4(B) again. The first delay unit 42 and the second delay unit 46 can make the timing positions of the clock signal Clk and the data signals Data1 to Data4 consistent through various achievable methods. For example, the image capture card 4 may further include a storage unit 47 for storing a clock correction data, and the first delay unit 42 and the second delay unit 46 can adjust the clock signal Clk and the clock signal according to the clock correction data. The timing position of data signal Data1~Data4. In one embodiment, the storage unit 47 may pre-store a test image data (such as a test picture), and before receiving the actual image data, the image data source may send the test picture to the image capture through the signal traces. The card 4 is retrieved, and the image capture card 4 can compare the received test picture with the test picture stored in the storage unit 47 to generate timing correction information. In one embodiment, the first delay unit 42 in the first embodiment can also obtain timing correction information by the above-mentioned method, and adjust the timing position of the clock signal Clk according to the timing correction information. It should be noted that the present invention can also perform timing position correction in other ways.

另外,第二實施例亦可具備不同的改良。圖4(C)是本發明第二實施例的影像擷取卡4的改良結構示意圖。如圖4(C)所示,除頻單元44是整合於邏輯處理單元45之中,亦即邏輯處理單元45本身可內建除頻單元44的功能。在一實施例中,邏輯處理單元45中的除頻單元44可以是一電腦程式產品,使邏輯處理單 元45執行訊號降頻之處理,但並非限定。在此改良結構下,藉由第一延遲單元42調整時序位置後的第二時脈訊號Clk2是直接輸入至邏輯處理單元45,並在邏輯處理單元45之中進行降頻處理而形成第三時脈訊號Clk3,其中第三時脈訊號Clk3可做為邏輯處理單元45的系統時脈451。 In addition, the second embodiment can also have different improvements. 4(C) is a schematic diagram of an improved structure of the image capture card 4 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4(C), the frequency divider unit 44 is integrated into the logic processing unit 45, that is, the logic processing unit 45 itself can build in the function of the frequency divider unit 44. In one embodiment, the frequency dividing unit 44 in the logic processing unit 45 may be a computer program product, so that the logic processing unit Element 45 performs signal down-frequency processing, but it is not limited. Under this improved structure, the second clock signal Clk2 after adjusting the timing position by the first delay unit 42 is directly input to the logic processing unit 45, and the frequency reduction processing is performed in the logic processing unit 45 to form the third timing. The third clock signal Clk3 can be used as the system clock 451 of the logic processing unit 45.

此外,藉由上述第一實施例及第二實施例的架構(亦即第一延遲單元42進行時脈訊號Clk的時序調整以及除頻單元44對第二時脈訊號Clk2進行降頻處理),影像資料與影像擷取卡4之間可搭配任意傳輸介面。圖5及圖6分別是本發明不同實施例的影像擷取卡的應用示意圖,需注意的是,雖圖5及圖6是搭配圖3(A)的影像擷取卡4來舉例,但實際上圖5及圖6亦可搭配圖3(C)、圖4(A)或圖4(C)的影像擷取卡4來實施,且並非限制。如圖5所示,影像資料與影像擷取卡4之間可搭配訊號調節晶片來進行資料傳輸,其中影像資料的資料訊號Data可搭配的一第一調節晶片92而傳輸至資料轉換單元43,而影像資料的時脈訊號Clk可搭配第二調節晶片94而傳輸至時脈轉換單元40,但並非限定。在一實施例中,第一調節晶片92及第二調節晶片94可例如是緩衝器積體電路晶片(buffer IC),用以對訊號進行緩衝或放大之調節,進而達成訊號延遲或增加訊號強度之效果。在一實施例中,第一調節晶片92及第二調節晶片94亦可例如是收發器晶片(transceiver chip),用以保持或緩衝訊號。在一實施例中,第一調節晶片92及第二調節晶片94亦可以是其它各種調節晶片。此外,第一調節晶片92及第二調節晶片94彼此可為不同的晶片。又如圖6所示,影像資料與影像擷取卡4之間亦可搭配第三調節晶片96來進行資料傳輸,其中資料訊號Data及時脈訊號Clk可搭配相同的第三調節晶片96而各自傳輸至資料轉換單元43及時脈轉換單元40,但並非限定。在一實施例中,第三調節晶片96可為一客製化調節晶片,例如是特殊應用積體電路 (application specific integrated circuit,ASIC)晶片,用以依照產品需求不同而對訊號進行客製化的處理;但第三調節晶片96亦可為其它各種調節晶片。根據圖5及圖6的實施例可知,不論輸入的訊號採用何種傳輸協定,第一延遲單元42及除頻單元44皆可對訊號進行調整,使其得以適用於邏輯處理單元45。藉此,本發明的影像擷取卡4具備廣泛的適應性,可適用各種傳輸協定的訊號。 In addition, with the architecture of the first and second embodiments described above (that is, the first delay unit 42 performs timing adjustment of the clock signal Clk and the frequency dividing unit 44 performs frequency down processing on the second clock signal Clk2), Any transmission interface can be used between the image data and the image capture card 4. Figures 5 and 6 are respectively schematic diagrams of the application of image capture cards according to different embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that although Figures 5 and 6 are examples with the image capture card 4 of Figure 3(A), they are actually The above FIGS. 5 and 6 can also be implemented with the image capture card 4 of FIG. 3(C), FIG. 4(A) or FIG. 4(C), and are not limited. As shown in FIG. 5, a signal conditioning chip can be used for data transmission between the image data and the image capture card 4, and the data signal Data of the image data can be combined with a first adjustment chip 92 to be transmitted to the data conversion unit 43. The clock signal Clk of the image data can be combined with the second adjusting chip 94 to be transmitted to the clock conversion unit 40, but it is not limited. In one embodiment, the first adjusting chip 92 and the second adjusting chip 94 may be, for example, a buffer integrated circuit chip (buffer IC), which is used to buffer or amplify the signal, thereby achieving signal delay or increasing signal strength. The effect. In an embodiment, the first regulating chip 92 and the second regulating chip 94 may also be, for example, a transceiver chip (transceiver chip) for maintaining or buffering signals. In an embodiment, the first regulating chip 92 and the second regulating chip 94 may also be other various regulating chips. In addition, the first conditioning wafer 92 and the second conditioning wafer 94 may be different wafers. As shown in FIG. 6, a third adjusting chip 96 can also be used for data transmission between the image data and the image capture card 4, wherein the data signal Data and the clock signal Clk can be matched with the same third adjusting chip 96 for transmission. The data conversion unit 43 and the clock conversion unit 40 are not limited. In one embodiment, the third adjustment chip 96 may be a customized adjustment chip, such as a special application integrated circuit The (application specific integrated circuit, ASIC) chip is used to customize the signal according to different product requirements; however, the third adjustment chip 96 can also be other various adjustment chips. According to the embodiments of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, no matter what transmission protocol is used for the input signal, the first delay unit 42 and the frequency divider unit 44 can adjust the signal to be suitable for the logic processing unit 45. Thereby, the image capture card 4 of the present invention has a wide range of adaptability, and can be applied to signals of various transmission protocols.

此外,圖5的結構亦可調整。圖7是本發明又一實施例的影像擷取卡4的應用示意圖,其是由圖5的結構改變而成。圖7實施例與圖5實施例相似,兩者差異在於,圖7實施例中的第一調節晶片92及第二調節晶片94是設置於影像擷取卡4之中。因此,當MIPI訊號傳送至影像擷取卡4後,第一調節晶片92再對MIPI訊號的資料部分進行調節,並將調節後的資料訊號傳送至資料轉換單元43;此外,當MIPI訊號傳送至影像擷取卡4後,第二調節晶片94再對MIPI訊號的時脈部分進行調節,並將調節後的時脈訊號傳送至時脈轉換單元40。 In addition, the structure of FIG. 5 can also be adjusted. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the application of the image capture card 4 according to another embodiment of the present invention, which is modified from the structure of FIG. 5. The embodiment in FIG. 7 is similar to the embodiment in FIG. 5, and the difference between the two is that the first regulating chip 92 and the second regulating chip 94 in the embodiment in FIG. 7 are arranged in the image capture card 4. Therefore, when the MIPI signal is transmitted to the image capture card 4, the first adjusting chip 92 adjusts the data part of the MIPI signal and transmits the adjusted data signal to the data conversion unit 43; in addition, when the MIPI signal is transmitted to After the image capture card 4 is captured, the second adjusting chip 94 adjusts the clock part of the MIPI signal, and transmits the adjusted clock signal to the clock conversion unit 40.

另外,圖6的結構亦可調整。圖8是本發明又一實施例的影像擷取卡4的應用示意圖,其是由圖6的結構改變而成。圖8實施例與圖6實施例相似,兩者差異在於,圖8實施例中的第三調節晶片96是設置於影像擷取卡4之中。因此,當MIPI訊號傳送至影像擷取卡4後,第三調節晶片96再對MIPI訊號的資料部分及時脈部分進行調節,並將調節後的資料訊號傳送至資料轉換單元43以及將調節後的時脈訊號傳送至時脈轉換單元40。 In addition, the structure of FIG. 6 can also be adjusted. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the application of the image capture card 4 according to another embodiment of the present invention, which is modified from the structure of FIG. 6. The embodiment in FIG. 8 is similar to the embodiment in FIG. 6, and the difference between the two is that the third adjusting chip 96 in the embodiment in FIG. 8 is disposed in the image capture card 4. Therefore, after the MIPI signal is transmitted to the image capture card 4, the third adjusting chip 96 adjusts the data part and the clock part of the MIPI signal, and transmits the adjusted data signal to the data conversion unit 43 and transfers the adjusted data signal to the data conversion unit 43. The clock signal is sent to the clock conversion unit 40.

藉此,本發明的影像擷取卡可解決因為訊號走線路徑長度不一所造成的訊號扭曲等問題,並可以適用各種工作頻率的影像訊號,可大幅解決現有技術之缺失。 In this way, the image capture card of the present invention can solve the problems of signal distortion caused by different signal routing path lengths, and can be applied to image signals of various operating frequencies, which can greatly solve the shortcomings of the prior art.
