Abstract

A vehicular vision system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed at a vehicle and a camera having a CMOS imaging sensor operable to capture image data. Image data captured by the imaging sensor of the camera is conveyed from the camera to the ECU via a single core coaxial cable. The 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 camera. Image data captured by the imaging sensor is serialized at a data serializer of the camera and is conveyed to the ECU via the single core coaxial cable and is deserialized at the ECU by a data deserializer of the ECU.
