Discrete ISP vs. SoC-Integrated ISP in Automotive ECUs – A Comparative Study
In automotive vision-based applications like ADAS and automated driving features, the choice of ISP architecture when designing ECUs can make or break system performance. Should you go with a discrete ISP for maximum flexibility, advanced image processing, and lower latency, or an SoC integrated-ISP for efficiency, compactness, and simplified design? Each path carries trade-offs in system performance, image quality, power, cost, and scalability.
In our latest blog, we break down the advantages of both discrete ISPs and SoC-Integrated ISPs and the challenges designers face when selecting the optimum ISP architecture.
