Overview
The BitCsi2Rx IP is a receiver for camera sensor signals, to be used in an FPGA or ASIC.
It receives camera signals in accordance with the MIPI CSI-2 and D-PHY specifications. BitCsi2Rx converts these signals to parallel video signals for AXI4- Stream Video standard. To make it easier to interface BitCsi2Rx with various other design blocks, it also outputs fval (frame valid) and lval (line valid) signals for synchronization.
Third generation of the IP, so it very compact, from only 500 LUTs/FFs, including the D-PHY.
A MIPI CSI-2 transmitter IP is also available from BitSim, BitCsi2Tx.
It has been used with SoCs like: i.MX8-series (NXP), OMAP (TI), MPSoC (Xilinx), Snapdragon (Qualcomm) and Xavier (Nvidia).

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.
The latest advancements in the MIPI D-PHY and MIPI C-PHY specifications and their potential to transform vision and imaging technologies.
Higher link speeds, security and a compliance program have been added to the MIPI Automotive SerDes Solutions framework.
