MIPI D-PHY IP

Overview

Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) D-PHY is supported on Agilex™ 5 and Agilex™ 3 FPGAs allowing transmission and reception of data through PHY-protocol interface (PPI) to connect with camera serial interface (CSI) and display serial interface (DSI) applications.

*Only in Agilex™ 5 FPGA E-Series Group A and D-Series devices.

Key Features

  • MIPI D-PHY
    • MIPI D-PHY feature supports high-speed (HS) and low-power (LP) modes and allows direct interface with the D-PHY compliance component without external components.
    • Supports low-power and high-speed signaling up to 3.5 Gbps* per lane.
    • Supports AXI-Lite interface for seamless video transmission and reception.
    • Enables unidirectional multi-lane configurations 1, 2, 4, or 8 lanes.
  • MIPI CSI-2
    • Latency Reduction and Transport Efficiency (LRTE) for image-sensor aggregation without adding to the overall system cost.
    • Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM) compression for seamless compression of HD images for mission critical applications.
    • Reducing the number of wires in a system like IoT by using the Unified Serial Link (USL).
    • Scrambling reduces Power Spectral Density (PSD) emissions for longer channels.
  • MIPI DSI-2
    • High Resolution Support: MIPI DSI-2 supports high-resolution displays, including 4K, 5K UHD+, and 8K UHD resolutions
    • VESA Display Compression-M (VDC-M) Compliance: It is compliant with VESA VDC-M 1.2, supporting various encoding mechanisms like BP, transform, MPP, MPP fallback, and BP skip
    • Flexible Video Input Formats: Supports 8, 10, or 12 bits per component video, with 4:4:4 sampling for RGB and 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0 sampling for YCbCr video input formats
    • High Pixel Throughput: Capable of processing two pixels per clock per hard slice encoder, with parameterizable parallel slice encoder instances to adapt to different display resolutions
