Overview
The SVTPlus supports a clock lane and 4 data lanes, each lane featuring at up to 2.5Gbps, for a total of 10Gbps. The highly parallel architecture of the SVTPlus2500 allows relatively slow internal clocks of approximately 160Mhz. The SVTPlus supports all CSI2 mandatory and optional video formats, including compressed video formats. Noise resiliency is improved using Pseudo-Random-BinarySequence (PRBS) encoding on the data lanes.
The SVTPlus2500 complies with MIPI CSI2 and DPHY specifications (version 2.0 of both documents).
The SVTPlus2500 receives parallel pixels from a video source (1,2,4 or 8 pixels per clock). The pixels are translated to MIPI CSI2 packets and output from the SVTPlus2500 by high-speed parallel and low-power signals. The high-speed parallel signals are converted by an FPGA-specific high-speed 16:1 seriallizer, to DPHY high-speed signals, at up to 2.5Gbps per lane. An external LVDS to DPHY device converts the high speed and the low-power inputs to DPHY signals, transmitted over a single clock lane and up to four data lanes. A simple CPU is typically required for configuration and, if needed, for diagnostics.

Imagine a camera subsystem that responds in microseconds, consumes less power, and offers a more straightforward route to time-to-market. For SoC architects and IP integration teams, that vision is increasingly possible with MIPI Camera Control Interface (CCI) over I3C.
High-speed chip-to-chip data transfer is continuously evolving to meet increasing performance demands. MIPI MPHY is a high-speed physical layer interface developed by the MIPI Alliance. This protocol is used for high-speed chip-to-chip interfaces, mainly in mobile and automotive devices.
From the first monochrome mobile displays to today’s ultra-high-definition automotive dashboards and immersive AR/VR headsets, MIPI technology has quietly become the backbone of modern data connectivity. Let’s explore how MIPI standards have evolved, the markets they serve, and why Rambus is at the forefront of this transformation.
