Related Products

Small Footprint, Big Features – Do you need to bridge, aggregate, or split signals for cameras and displays? CrossLink is the most versatile device and has a footprint as small as 6 mm2.

How Low Can We Go – Up to 50% lower power than competition. < 100 mW for many use cases and the first programmable bridging solution with a built-in sleep mode.

Sets the Bar in Performance – Industry’s fastest MIPI D-PHY bridging solution supporting 4K UHD resolution at speeds up to 12 Gbps. Also supports LVDS, SLVS, subLVDS, and OpenLDI (OLDI).

Features

  • Two 4-lane MIPI D-PHY transceivers at 6 Gbps per PHY
  • 15 programmable source synchronous I/O pairs for camera and display interfacing
  • Available in amazingly small 2.46 mm x 2.46 mm WLCSP packages and BGA packages with 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.65 mm pitch
  • Flexible device configuration with OTP non-volatile configuration memory and I2C/SPI programming
  • More than 5900 LUTs with up to 81 I/O pins
  • Soft IP available for multiple bridging solutions here
