Due to the higher demand for better displays, bridging applications has become increasingly popular. One very common application interface is the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI®) D-PHY. It was developed primarily to support camera and display interconnections in mobile devices, and it has become the industry’s primary high-speed PHY solution for these applications in smartphones today. It is typically used in conjunction with MIPI Camera Serial Interface-2 (CSI-2) and MIPI Display Interface (DSI) protocol specifications. MIPI D-PHY meets the demanding requirements of low-power, low noise generation, and high noise immunity that mobile phone designs demand.
Lattice Semiconductor Byte-to-Pixel Converter IP converts CSI-2/DSI standard based video payload packets from D-PHY Receiver Module output to pixel format. Byte-to-Pixel IP accepts CSI2/DSI standard based video payload packets and generates Pixel Format output.
Bridge Between CSI-2/DSI Standard - The purpose of the Byte-to-Pixel Converter IP is to convert D-PHY CSI-2/DSI standard based byte data stream to standard pixel data format. Thus, the Byte-to-Pixel Converter IP provides a bridge between CSI-2/DSI standard based input byte data stream and pixel format output data stream.
Generates Camera/Video Control Signals in the Pixel Domain - Byte-to-Pixel Converter IP generates camera/video control signals in the pixel domain, based on CSI-2 or DSI synchronization packets.
