Mixel’s silicon-proven IP supports the latest
versions of the MIPI Specifications for camera applications
Mixel®, a leading provider of mixed-signal intellectual
property (IP), announced today that its MIPI® C-PHYSM/D-PHYSM Combo
IP is now available on STMicroelectronics’ 40nm Low Power process
technology (CMOS040LP). The MIPI C-PHY IP supports the v1.2
specification, and the MIPI D-PHY IP supports the MIPI D-PHY v2.1
specification.
Mixel’s MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY combo IP is a high-frequency,
low-power, low-cost, physical layer. The MIPI C-PHY IP supports a
speed of 3.5Gsps per trio, an equivalent data rate of 7.98
Gbps/trio, and in MIPI D-PHY mode, the IP supports speeds up to
2.5Gbps per lane. With up to three trios in C-PHY and up to four
lanes in D-PHY, the combo IP reaches an aggregate bandwidth of
23.94Gbps and 10Gbps in their respective modes.
There are multiple configurations of this combo IP available,
including area optimized transmitters or receivers, supporting
either the MIPI Camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2®) or MIPI
Display Serial Interface 2 (DSI-2SM) as well as a universal version
of the IP which supports all configurations. In addition, Mixel
also offers its patented RX+ and proprietary TX+ versions of its
MIPI receiver and transmitter IPs. These unique configurations
allow full-speed, in-system testing without the area penalty of a
universal configuration and are designed for safety sensitive
applications such as automotive, medical, and other use cases where
safety and reliability are critical.
Mixel’s IP achieved first-time silicon success on a test chip
manufactured in ST’s 40nm low power process technology and other
MIPI IP configurations are in development on another ST process
technology.
“Mixel has been a valued Contributor member of MIPI Alliance and
supporter of its specifications since 2006,” said Sanjiv Desai,
MIPI Alliance chair. “By offering their silicon-proven MIPI IP in
ST’s 40nm low power process technology, Mixel is actively playing a
role in the growth of the MIPI ecosystem.”
This combo IP, silicon-proven at 4.5Gsps per trio in C-PHY mode
and 4.5Gbps per lane in D-PHY mode, was first announced in
September 2020.
“We worked very closely with the Mixel Engineering teams from
pre-sales through silicon validation,” Pascal Mellot, Imaging
System & Silicon Products Director at STMicroelectronics. “We
are impressed by the breadth of their knowledge and outstanding
level of support and have enjoyed their constructive and responsive
attitude. Achieving first-time silicon-success in this ST process
is testament to Mixel’s engineering excellence and their
long-proven methodology. We are looking forward to future
collaborations with Mixel.”
Mixel was the first IP provider to silicon prove the first
generation of MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY combo IP in 2016.
“Achieving first-time silicon-success in ST’s process with this
complex IP was only possible through the close collaboration
between our teams, and an indication of ST’s process robustness and
the excellence of Mixel engineering and methodology,” said Ashraf
Takla, Founder and CEO of Mixel. “Expanding the availability of our
MIPI IP in another ST process technology is helping expand IC
development of our mutual customers in Europe and across the
world.”
Availability:
Mixel MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY Combo IP is available now on the
STMicroelectronics 40nm Low Power process technology.
