Overview
The latest trend in portable computer power management is Switchable Graphics. This technology allows a discrete graphics card to be used for graphics intensive applications when under AC power (plugged in to power socket) and Intel Integrated Graphics to be used in battery mode, extending battery life when on-the-go.
The Display Interface (7:1 LVDS) Multiplexer IP enables Switchable Graphics applications. Using this IP you can select one of two asynchronous LVDS video streams (OpenLDI or FPD-link or DFP) for output by first converting them to parallel, multiplexing and reconverting to serial. The IP consists of two LVDS to parallel data converters, one parallel data multiplexer and a parallel data to LVDS converter. The multiplexing is initiated by a user input signal, but the switching instance is determined by the IP core by processing the sync signals in the video stream.
The Display Interface Multiplexer is available as an IPexpress user configurable IP core, which allows the configuration of the IP and generation of a netlist and simulation file for use in designs. Please note that generating a bitstream may be prevented or the bitstream may have time logic present unless a license for the IP is purchased.

With the rapid growth of AR/VR and high-resolution imaging systems such as drones and action cameras, MIPI CSI (Camera Serial Interface) and MIPI DSI (Display Serial Interface) require both high data throughput and low power consumption. M31 provides a MIPI C-PHY and D-PHY IP combo solution implemented on TSMC N3P and N3C processes.
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.
