MIPI C-PHY v2.0 D-PHY v2.1 for TSMC N5A
Overview
Synopsys’ integrated C-PHY/D-PHY IP enables high-performance, low-power interface to SoCs, application processors, baseband processors, and peripheral devices for mobile, automotive, artificial intelligence (AI), and IoT applications. The PHY, for FinFET processes and compliant with the MIPI C-PHY and D-PHY specifications, operates at 6.5Gb/s per lane and 6.5Gs/s per trio respectively for a maximum speed of 44.5Gb/s. The Synopsys C-PHY/D-PHY addresses energy requirements by supporting low-power state modes and delivering below 1.2pJ/ bit at the maximum speed. The PHY offers built-in test capabilities, including pattern generator, logic analyzer, and loopback modes covering all circuits. The Synopsys C-PHY/D-PHY IP interoperates with Synopsys’ ASIL B Ready ISO 26262 certified CSI-2 and DSI/DSI-2 controllers which support key features of the latest MIPI display and camera specifications.
Key Features
- Compliant with the latest MIPI C-PHY and D-PHY specifications
- Fully verified IP available in TX, RX, or master and slave configuration, including all analog and digital circuitry
- D-PHY mode includes a clock lane and two or four data lanes, each supporting a maximum of 6.5Gb/s per lane in high- speed modes
- C-PHY mode includes two or three trios, each supporting a maximum of 6.5Gs/s per trio in high-speed modes
- Multiple low-power modes, including shut-down, provides multiple test modes for increased reliability
