HSINCHU, April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- M31 Technology Corporation
(M31), a leading global provider of silicon intellectual property
(IP), announced that the M31 MIPI C/D-PHY Combo IP has obtained
silicon validation on the advanced TSMC 5nm process and
the company has already started 3nm IP development. These validated
C-PHY and D-PHY IPs are capable of supporting high-speed
transmission modes up to 6.5G per channel and extremely low power
operation, making the IPs suitable for various application
scenarios such as high-resolution imaging, display SoCs, advanced
driver assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle infotainment
systems. This IP design allows users to configure it according to
their needs as either D-PHY or C-PHY mode, further reducing the
need for die area and the demand for I/O pins by sharing part of
the circuit design. Additionally, it supports Alternate Low Data
(ALP) mode, which significantly improves transfer efficiency while
maintaining extremely low power consumption, making it particularly
suitable for battery-powered mobile devices.
M31 has been honored with the TSMC Open Innovation
Platform® (OIP) Partner of the Year Award for
Special Process IP for six consecutive years. At the TSMC 2024
North America Technology Symposium, M31 showcased two major product
lines, including Foundation IP such as Standard Cell, Memory
Compiler, GPIO, Specialty I/O, as well as the most popular
high-speed interface IPs in the current application market, such as
PCIe 5.0 PHY, ONFi 5.1 I/O, LPDDR4/4X PHY, and LPDDR5/5X PHY. M31
also introduced the 5nm MIPI C/D PHY Combo IP that complies with
the latest D-PHY v2.5 and C-PHY v2.0 specifications. This IP offers
a high-performance, low-power solution with speeds of up to 6.5Gb/s
per channel and 6.5Gs/s per trio, for a total speed of up to
44.5Gb/s, meeting the current demands for high-speed data
transmission, especially for diverse applications such as mobile
communications, automotive, artificial intelligence (AI) and
Internet of Things (IoT). In addition, MIPI technology also
supports low-power state modes by consuming less than 1.1pJ/bit of
power at maximum speed, and provides extensive built-in test
capabilities, including pattern generators, logic analyzers, and
loopback modes, facilitating testing and debugging for
developers. Moreover, M31 supports key features of MIPI
display and camera specifications, and makes it suitable for
applications in ADAS and in-car infotainment systems, which meets
the industry's stringent requirements for high reliability and
functional safety. The M31 provides a rich portfolio of
MIPI-related IPs that can be quickly integrated into SoCs to meet
the design requirements of a wide range of applications.
Jerome Hung, Vice President of
R&D, stated, "M31's innovative development in high-speed
interface technology and in-depth understanding of systems enable
us to respond to customer needs in rapidly changing markets by
providing solutions that comply with the latest standards. Looking
ahead, M31 will closely follow TSMC's advanced process technology,
continue to invest in R&D resources, develop products using
advanced process technology, and expand IP solutions in emerging
application areas such as AI, IoT, and 5G communication, to help
customers accelerate product launches and enhance market
competitiveness."
