PCIe-NPL54
Neousys Technology introduces the PCIe-NPL54, an innovative frame grabber card designed for autonomous driving, ADAS, outdoor robotics, and other mission-critical edge AI applications.
Engineered with a fanless, wide-temperature design (-40°C ~ 70°C) and low power consumption (<20W), the PCIe-NPL54 ensures reliable performance while simultaneously connecting up to four GMSL2 cameras in demanding industrial environments.
Processor and Interface Configuration
The PCIe-NPL54 supports x4 Gen2 PCI Express interface and operates entirely through the PCIe slot without requiring external power cables.
As a single-slot, half-size card, it is easy to install and seamlessly integrates into rugged edge systems where space is limited.
Camera Support and Performance
The card offers four GMSL2 FAKRA Z input ports, supporting multiple high-resolution camera configurations, such as:
2 × 8MP + 1 × 3MP @ 30 FPS
4 × 5MP @ 30 FPS
4 × 2MP @ 60 FPS
Optimized for automotive-grade GMSL2 cameras, it is fully compatible with HDR (120–140 dB), LED Flicker Mitigation (LFM), and ISP-based auto exposure, gain, and white balance control.
This ensures optimal image quality under extreme lighting conditions, including low-light, glare, and high-contrast environments.
GPS PPS Synchronization and Scalability
To achieve precise sensor fusion, the PCIe-NPL54 includes GPS PPS input/output functionality, enabling:
Frame synchronization across multiple devices
Accurate LiDAR-to-camera data alignment
Multi-card daisy-chain configurations
This ensures millisecond-level synchronization for advanced autonomous driving and high-precision perception systems.
Environmental Durability and Reliability
Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 70°C (fanless operation)
Storage Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
Humidity: 10% ~ 90% (non-condensing)
Certifications: CE/FCC Class A
The PCIe-NPL54 also incorporates automatic recovery from unexpected ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) interruptions, ensuring continuous video streaming in unattended or harsh environments.
Application Scenarios
Designed for x86 platforms that lack native MIPI interfaces, the PCIe-NPL54 simplifies GMSL2 camera integration in a variety of edge AI systems:
Autonomous vehicles & ADAS
Outdoor AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots)
Smart city and traffic infrastructure monitoring
Industrial machine vision systems
The Neousys PCIe-NPL54 goes beyond a conventional frame grabber card — it is a reliable, efficient, and ruggedized vision data integration solution for extreme environments.
For next-generation edge AI projects requiring seamless GMSL2 camera deployment, the PCIe-NPL54 is the definitive choice.
