The 2nd Generation MIPI D-PHY v1.1 IP supporting speeds of up to 1.5 Gbps on GF 22nm process technology for SoC designs. The D-PHY IP is available on both GF’s industry-leading 22nm ultra-low power (22ULP) and 22nm ultra-low leakage (22ULL) process technologies. GF 22nm ultra-low power (22ULP) is an ideal foundry technology for applications including image processing, digital TVs, set-top boxes, smartphones and consumer products in terms of its power, performance and area (PPA) optimization, while its 22nm ultra-low leakage (22ULL) technology provides significant power reduction to support IoT and wearable device applications, where power is of paramount importance. MIPI D’Phy as a physical serial communicating layer is gaining traction in the today’s power hungry mobile and mobile related applications due to its low power consumption operation.
The D-PHY IP is also available as a Tx only and Rx only IP for companies looking to save silicon area and further improve power consumption. The MIPI D-PHY IP is seamlessly integrated with Arasan’s own DSI Tx and DSI Rx IP Cores as part of its Total MIPI Display IP Solution for wearables and IoT.
The MIPI D-PHY IP is also available off the shelf on the GF 40nm, 28nm, 16nm and 12nm process technologies. A D-PHY / C-PHY Combo HDK based on Arasan’s ASIC applications on GF 28nm process is also available to licensees of Arasan’s DPHY IP or CPHY IP to prototype their Display or Imaging products before going to production.
