Overview
The GPHY is a highly integrated single chip for Giga 10/100/1000 Ethernet applications with minimal power consumption. It is capable of operating in 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T. This GPHY links the GMII-based Media Access Control Layer (MAC) (Giga Media Independent Interface). This GPHY uses either RGMII or GMII to connect to the Media Access Control Layer (MAC). For 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet and 1000BASE-T Giga Ethernet, it may support Unshielded Twisted Pair Category 5 Cable (UTP5), or UTP5/UTP3 cable for 10BASE-T Ethernet. It includes the Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS), Physical Medium Attachment Layer (PMA), Twisted Pair Physical Medium Dependent Sub-layer, and the whole physical layer function of 100BASE-TX described by IEEE802.3u and 1000BASE-T specified by IEEE802.3ab (TP-PMD, 100BASE-TX only).

It is very important that the design aspects of the NB-IoT device protocol stack ensure low module cost and low energy consumption. This is required to match the industry expected module costs. This paper outlines some of the NB-IoT Protocol stack specification flexibilities and generic design aspects that are to be considered to meet the above requirements, especially with reference to LTE.
UniversalFlash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.
In this paper, we introduce a new high-level, dataflow programming language called C~ (“C flow”) that further increases productivity by raising the level of abstraction from behavioral descriptions, while overcoming the limitations of C for hardware design. We present the syntax and semantics of this language, and the framework that provides hardware and software code generation. This paper illustrates the benefits of using C~ for hardware design of a IEEE 802.3 MAC, synthesized for FPGA and for 90nm CMOS technology.

Since MIPI and MDDI standards both target interfaces to cameras and displays on mobile devices, are two separate standards really needed?
