Overview
The silicon-proven Synopsys MIPI® M-PHY IP, compliant with the latest MIPI
M-PHY v5.0 specification, supports speeds up to 23.32 Gbps per lane. The IP is optimized for a broad range of high-speed interfaces for applications including JEDEC Universal Flash Storage (UFS) and UniPro interfaces which are widely used in mobile and automotive applications.
The Synopsys M-PHY IP, ideal for embedded storage and chip-to-chip communication, provides low-power features, fast transitions between high- speed burst to low power saving modes, and the ability to manage the TX and RX directions independently.
The Synopsys MIPI M-PHY IP supports HS Gear1, Gear2, Gear3, Gear4 and Gear5 rates ranging from 1.248 Gbps to 23.32 Gbps per lane. Low-speed capabilities are available with Gear1 to Gear5 PWM modes. A sophisticated clock recovery mechanism and power-efficient clock circuitry are designed to guarantee the integrity of the clocks and signals needed to meet strict timing requirements. The Synopsys MIPI M-PHY IP supports large and small amplitudes, slew rate control and dithering functionality for optimized electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The Synopsys MIPI M-PHY IP along with Synopsys Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Host Controller IP or Synopsys MIPI UniPro Controller IP provides a single vendor UFS IP solution that designers can easily integrate into application processors with less risk, while speeding time-to-market of advanced SoCs and device integrated circuits (ICs).

In our current work, we focus on the low power analysis and verification challenges and the methodology used to verify low power design. The power-gating feature that we term Hibernation brings in significant power savings to Synopsys SSIC IP Controller. The verification tests the functionality of the Controller before, during and after hibernation state. The low power analysis will showcase the power savings achieved in SSIC IP with and Without Hibernation.

With the rapid development of modern mobile systems there is a great increase in the complexity involved in the IP and SOC designs and correspondingly the functional verification also becomes a challenge. To reduce time to market, IPs needed for the SOC must be developed in parallel to the top level design and should be verified in parallel. This requires strong methodology and infrastructure support which allows the SOC design team to be aligned on the requirements with IP teams. Methodology should also ensure that SOC design team gets the required data for the IP to proceed with the complexity of SOC design.
