MIPI A-PHY Sink
Long reach SerDes for Automotive Sensor and Display Applications
Overview
A-PHY Sink IP (Link and PHY layers) is a 2-lane SerDes compliant with MIPI A-PHY specification v1.1. Each lane supports Downlink speed up to 8 Gbps and Uplink speed up to 100 Mbps. It targets low-cost high-speed asymmetric data connections in automotive environments where long reach and high reliability are required. Typical applications include advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), autonomous driving systems (ADS), and other surround sensors (cameras, displays, LIDARs, etc.).
