MIPI CSI-2 controller Receiver v 2.1, Compatible with MIPI C-PHY v1.2 & DPHY v2.1.

Overview

The MIPI CSI-2 Receiver IP Core functions as a MIPI Camera Serial Interface Receiver, between a peripheral device (Camera module) and a host processor (baseband, application engine). The Arasan MIPI CSI-2 Receiver IP provides a standard, scalable, low-power, high-speed interface that supports a wide range of higher image resolutions.

The MIPI CSI-2 Receiver is compliant to MIPI CSI-2 v2.1 specification and supports DPHY v2.1 and the MIPI C-PHY v1.2.

Key Features

  • Use of either D-PHY/C-PHY by user configuration
  • Different Configuration allowed for multiple use cases
  • 4-Lanes/8-Lanes D-PHY / 3-Lanes C-PHY
  • Lane is configurable depending on the bandwidth requirements of the application, up to 8-lanes for DPHY and up to 3-lanes for C-PHY
  • High Speed (HS) receiver rates of 182Mbps (80Msps) to 6840Mbps (3Gsps) per lane with C-PHY interface
  • High Speed (HS) receiver rates of 80Mbps to 1500Mbps per lane without calibration, 1500Mbps to 2500 Mbps with skew calibration and 2500Mbps to 4500Mbps with equalization in D-PHY interface
  • Supports for Ultra Low Power Mode (ULPS)
  • Supports for Alternate Low Power State (ALPS) in CPHY mode
  • Single (or) Optional Multi-Pixel mode interface to ISP. The multi-pixel mode is used in high bandwidth requirement applications to lower the ISP clock frequency requirement.
  • Optional Pixel Level Interface to ISP with HSYNC, VSYNC, DATA and DATA VALID
  • Streams the received pixels onto eight data channels (customizable) based on the channel configuration from ISP
  • Separate data channel for the short generic packets
  • Support for all packet level errors, Protocol Decoding Level errors
  • Support for cut-though (or) store and forward mode FIFO. Cut-through mode makes use of shallow Memory for memory critical applications.
  • Optional support for Compressed data formats
  • Optional support for different error counting
  • Pixel formats supported
    • RAW data type – RAW6,RAW7,RAW8, RAW10, RAW12, RAW14,RAW16, RAW20
    • YUV data type – YUV422-8bit, YUV422-10bit, Legacy YUV420 8-bit,YUV420 10-bit,YUV420 8-bit (Chroma Shifted Pixel Sampling),YUV420 10-bit (Chroma Shifted Pixel Sampling)
    • RGB data type – RGB888, RGB666, RGB565, RGB555, RGB444
    • All user Defined data types / JPEG
    • Generic 8-bit long packet data types
  • Host interface for register configuration and monitoring
  • Used for programming both CSI-2 and PHY related registers. Reserved address space [0x00 – 0x0F] for the PHY related registers.
  • Optional support for the AHB/APB Interface

Benefits

  • Fully compliant to MIPI standard
  • Small footprint
  • Code validated with Spyglass
  • Functionality ensured with comprehensive verification
  • Product quality proven with silicon
  • Premier direct support from Arasan IP core designers
