MIPI CSI-2 TX Controller

CSI-2 transmitter controller for application processor

Overview

The Cadence Transmitter (TX) Controller IP for MIPI® Camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2sm) is responsible for handling image sensor data in multiple RGB, YUV, and RAW formats, and user-defined data formats, while converting these into CSI-2-compliant packets for transmission over a D-PHYsm interface via the PPI interface.

The TX Controller IP for CSI-2 can handle up to four independent pixel streams and can perform Virtual Channel and Data Type interleaving before transmission four PPI data lanes.

Key features

  • Standards Compliance. CSI-2 v2.1, with 8-bit PPI data width and links with 1, 2, or 4 data lanes
  • Provides up to 4 Independent Stream Output Interfaces, allowing a highly configurable range of options, including multiple pixel modes, various buffering modes, packed data mode, Data Type selection, and Virtual Channel or Data Type interleaving

Cadence Expands Sovereign AI in Europe: From Chips to AI Factories

To bring computing scale and regional data control together, Cadence is expanding its sovereign AI data center in Munich, becoming the first electronic design automation (EDA)opens in a new tab vendor to deliver a comprehensive sovereign AI platform for semiconductor, system, and AI factory design in Europe.

The Memory Challenge of Physical AI

As physical AI workloads become more complex, architects must now consider how predictably the complete system performs when multiple real-world workloads are active simultaneously.

PCI Express Security and TEE Integration, Part 1 - Establishing Trust

Protecting processor memory alone is no longer sufficient. The entire I/O path must become part of the trusted computing architecture. To address this challenge, PCI-SIG® has developed a suite of complementary security technologies, including Data Object Exchange (DOE), Component Measurement and Authentication (CMA), Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE), and the TEE Device Interface Security Protocol (TDISP).
