Automotive image sensors compared
| Model | Vendor | Class | Typical use | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OX03C10 | OmniVision | 2.5MP | Front / AVM | HDR + LFM, balanced efficiency & cost |
| AR0820 | onsemi | 8MP (1/1.7") | Long-range front | Large sensor, high SNR, strong low light |
| ISX031 | Sony | 3MP multi-use | Front / side | Excellent HDR & color reproduction |
| AR0147AT-class | onsemi | IR global shutter | In-cabin DMS | 940nm response, motion-blur resistant |
| OX03B-class | OmniVision | IR global shutter | In-cabin DMS | Compact, low power |
| FH8322/FH8333 | Fullhan | ISP / processor | AVM hosts | Domestic platform, strong value |

Serial links: GMSL2 vs FPD-Link III
| Dimension | GMSL2 | FPD-Link III |
|---|---|---|
| Representative parts | MAX9295A / MAX9296A | DS90UB953 / DS90UB954 |
| Forward rate | 6Gbps | 4.16Gbps |
| Reverse channel | 187.5Mbps control channel | I2C/UART pass-through |
| Cable | 50Ω coax / STP | 50Ω coax / STP |
| Typical distance | 15m-class | 10m-class |
| PoC power | Supported | Supported |
| SoC ecosystem | NXP, NVIDIA, etc. | TI TDA4, etc. |
| Link diagnostics | Comprehensive (online BER monitoring) | Basic diagnostics |
Conclusion: The two routes perform at the same level — select by your domain-controller SoC ecosystem. Whichever deserializer the platform uses, match the serializer on the camera side; prefer GMSL2's bandwidth headroom for 8MP+ long-reach cases.
