The Unified Protocol (UniPro) specification defines a layered protocol for interconnecting devices and components within mobile device systems. It is applicable to a wide range of component types including application processors, co-processors, and modems, as well as different types of data traffic including control messages, bulk data transfer and packetized streaming. Implementing the UniPro specification reduces time-to-market and design costs by simplifying the interconnection of peripherals. In addition, the re-useable, extensible nature of the specification simplifies new feature implementation.
The MIPI® UniPro Controller IP, compliant with the latest MIPI UniPro v2.0 specification, provides the capability to control the UniPro link over a MIPI M-PHY link. Due to its generic nature, the MIPI UniPro Controller IP is capable of transporting any kind of data between applications like camera, display, and memory devices on the same physical link.
When the MIPI UniPro Controller IP is combined with the Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Host Controller IP and the MIPI® M-PHY IP, the vendor provides a single vendor UFS IP solution that designers can easily integrate into application processors with less risk, while speeding time-to-market of advanced SoCs and device integrated circuits (ICs).
