Overview

The MIPI M-PHY is a high-frequency low-power, Physical Layer IP that supports the MIPI® Alliance Standard for M-PHY. The IP can be used as a physical layer for many applications, connecting flash memory-based storage, cameras and RF subsystems, and for providing chip-to-chip inter-processor communications (IPC).

It supports MIPI UniPro and JEDEC Universal Flash Storage (UFS) standard. By using efficient BURST mode operation with scalable speeds, significant power savings can be obtained. Selection of signal slew rate and amplitude allows reduction of EMI/RFI, while maintaining low bit error rates.

MIPI deployment in ultra-low-power streaming sensors

This article focuses on low-power scenarios with streaming sensors connected to a processor via MIPI. After a short overview of low-duty cycle sensor principles, we explore how a streaming image sensor leverages those principles, show how one semiconductor company uses MIPI CSI-2® and D-PHY interfaces in their imaging solution, and touch on use cases for ultra-low-power streaming sensors deploying MIPI.
