PCIe stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe), which is a very important specification in computer buses. It is widely used in a large number of applications for data exchange communication within computer components, such as network cards, graphics cards, and nowadays NVMe solid state drives, which are mostly connected to the motherboard via PCIe. Since its introduction in 2003, PCIe has evolved into a fifth or even sixth-generation specification.
Throughout the development of the industry, the evolution of advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes has led to an increase in production costs, high-speed interface bandwidth, and the difficulty and risk in IP and SoC integration. That results in a significant increase in development costs for chip manufacturers, especially in the investment of manpower, and EDA tools are becoming more challenging.
MIPI is the abbreviation of "Mobile Industry Processor Interface". This article will introduce the physical layer specifications of MIPI architecture, and explain the features and benefits of D-PHY and C-PHY respectively. Then, the MIPI perspective on the development and challenges of automotive electronics and the professional MIPI technical services that M31 can provide will be shared.
