MIPI DSI/CSI-2 to Parallel Bridge Reference Design

Bridging Industrial Displays to Mobile Application Processors

Most mobile processors use industry standard interfaces such as MIPI DSI for interface connectivity. Larger consumer and industrial displays sometimes have a parallel interface that cannot be directly connected to a mobile application processor without a bridge. Many new applications want to leverage mobile innovations while utilizing larger displays with specific requirements and capabilities. Lattice CrossLink-NX Family FPGAs are the perfect devices for these new applications.

Using the MIPI DSI/CSI-2 to Parallel interface bridge reference design for the CrossLink-NX Families, you can quickly create a bridging solution for a processor with a MIPI DSI interface to a display with an RGB interface or a camera with a MIPI CSI-2 interface to a processor with Parallel interface. This reference design is free and is provided to demonstrate the use of Lattice’s popular CrossLink-NX for wearable, tablet, human machine interfacing, medical equipment, and many other applications.
