MIPI Enhances Interface Speed

Business Wire: MIPI Alliance is to release new, higher speed grades of its spec, driven by 2K and 4K video adoption in mobile devices. The new versions of MIPI specifications include:

• D-PHY with expanded lanes and higher bandwidths which can provide over 20Gbps of performance, while still keeping costs low.
• M-PHY will continue to push performance with gear 3 (5.8Mbps/lane) which is available today and gear 4 (11.6Gbps/lane) which will be available later this year.
• MIPI PHYs, in conjunction with the latest versions of Camera Serial Interface (CSI) and Display Serial Interface (DSI) specifications, and aided by VESA compression technology, are able to support the industry’s newest technologies with higher speeds, better performance and more features.
