Abstract

A vehicular vision system includes an ECU disposed at a vehicle and a front camera having a CMOS imaging sensor operable to capture image data. Image data captured by the imaging sensor of the front camera is conveyed from the front camera to the ECU via a single core coaxial cable. The front camera is in bidirectional communication with the ECU over the single core coaxial cable. The single core coaxial cable commonly carries (i) image data captured by the imaging sensor for processing at a data processor of the ECU and (ii) power from a DC power supply of the ECU to the front camera. Image data captured by the imaging sensor is serialized at a data serializer of the front camera and is transmitted to the ECU via the single core coaxial cable and is deserialized at the ECU by a data deserializer of the ECU.
