Understanding the Efficient ‘MIPI Interface’

Understanding the Efficient 'MIPI Interface'

MIPI What is ‘MIPI’ MIPI, short for: Mobile Industry Processor Interface, developed by the MIPI Alliance, is a high-performance, low-power, low-cost serial communication interface designed to standardize internal device interfaces such as camera, display, RF/baseband interfaces, etc., thereby reducing the complexity of device design and increasing design flexibility. The benefit of a unified interface standard … Read more

FPGA-Based MIPI Camera Development with XILINX MIPI D-PHY IP Core

FPGA-Based MIPI Camera Development with XILINX MIPI D-PHY IP Core

XILINX’s ULTRASCALE+ series FPGA comes with two MIPI IP cores, namely the MIPI D-PHY IP and MIPI CSI-2 IP. The D-PHY can be considered a low-level IP core that can parse data from each LANE, with data between LANE being relatively independent, requiring the user to compose a complete frame of image data. The CSI-2 … Read more
