CSI-2/DSI D-PHY Receiver IP Core

Convert MIPI CSI-2/DSI Data Streams to Parallel Data

The Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI®) D-PHY 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. It is typically used in conjunction with MIPI Camera Serial Interface-2 (CSI-2) and MIPI Display Serial 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.

MIPI D-PHY is a practical PHY for typical camera and display applications. It is designed to replace traditional parallel bus based on LVCMOS or LVDS. Lattice’s submodule may be used for applications requiring a D-PHY receiver in the FPGA logic.

Features

  • Compliant with MIPI DSI v1.1, MIPI CSI-2 v1.1 and MIPI D-PHY v1.1 specifications
  • Supports MIPI DSI and MIPI CSI-2 interfacing up to 10 Gb/s
  • Supports 1, 2 or 4 MIPI D-PHY data lanes
  • Supports non-burst mode with sync events for transmission of DSI packets only
  • Supports LP (low power) mode during vertical and horizontal blanking

1. All other settings are default.
2. The distributed RAM utilization is accounted for in the total LUT4s utilization. The actual LUT4 utilization is distribution among logic, distributed RAM, and ripple logic.
3. Data Settle settings were changed in these configurations to match their target Bit Rate per Lane.
4. Hard D-PHY – CIL Bypassed
5. Hard D-PHY – CIL Enabled
For more information regarding a specific configuration, the user can generate the IP, run synthesis and MAP, and check the MAP reports for resource utilization.
