Overview
Our MIPI-D-PHY IP is a high-frequency low-power, low-cost, source-synchronous, Physical Layer that supports the MIPI Alliance Standard for D-PHY.To address the challenges of huge demand for advanced multimedia features are pushing device manufacturers to integrate more advanced peripherals such as multi-megapixel cameras and larger screens., the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI Alliance defines and promotes open interface specifications, such as the Camera Serial Interface (CSI-2), Display Serial Interface (DSI), which all use the MIPI D-PHY.
The D-PHY consists of an analog front end to generate and receive the electrical level signals, and a digital back end to control the I/O functions.Our D-PHY provides a point to point connection between master and slave or host and device that comply with a relevant MIPI standard. The IP can be configured as a MIPI master or slave and consists of 5 lanes: 1 Clock lane and 4 data lanes.The D-PHY link supports a high speed (HS) mode for fast data traffic and a low power (LP) mode for control transactions.The High-Speed signals have a low voltage swing, while Low-Power signals have large swing. High-Speed functions are used for High-Speed Data traffic while low power functions are mostly used for control.

Post Covid 19, the biggest bet for revival of the industry is on 5G proliferation across the world. It is widely expected that 5G’s Enhanced Mobile broadband (eMMB) with speeds as high as 20X of 4G speed, Ultra reliable and Low Latency Communication ( URLLC) and massive Machine type connectivity (mMTC) will transform the world.
