MIPI A-PHY Sink

Long reach SerDes for Automotive Sensor and Display Applications

ASIL B AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Automotive PHY View all specifications

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.).

UFS Goes Mainstream

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.

Design IP Faster: Introducing the C~ High-Level Language

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.

Universal Flash Storage: Mobilize Your Data

Universal Flash 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 UniProSM as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.

Can MIPI and MDDI Co-Exist?

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