MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
March 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- DesignWare MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY IP interoperates with Synopsys'
MIPI CSI-2, DSI/DSI-2, D-PHY, and verification IP for a complete
camera and display IP solution
- The C-PHY/D-PHY delivers less than 1.3pJ/bit, operating at 24
Gb/s, for optimal energy consumption in high-resolution imaging
devices
- DesignWare DSI/DSI-2 and CSI-2 Controllers support the 16- and
32-bit PHY Protocol Interface (PPI) to enable high throughput
C-PHY/D-PHY connectivity
- The C-PHY/D-PHY IP and ASIL B Ready ISO 26262 certified MIPI
controllers meet the safety and reliability requirements of
automotive applications
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced it is
expanding its MIPI camera and display IP portfolio with the
DesignWare® MIPI C-PHY℠/D-PHY℠ IP
for a range of FinFET processes. The silicon-proven C-PHY/D-PHY IP
is compliant with the MIPI C-PHY v1.2 and D-PHY v2.1 specifications
for a low-risk solution targeting high-resolution imaging and
display SoCs. In addition, the C-PHY/D-PHY meets the stringent
functional safety and reliability requirements of automotive ADAS
and infotainment applications. The DesignWare MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY IP
combined with DesignWare MIPI DSI/DSI-2℠ and MIPI
CSI-2℠ controllers provide a complete solution that
eases connectivity to a variety of advanced image sensors and
displays.
"For our latest 3D camera with intelligent computing, Synopsys'
DesignWare MIPI IP delivered the required low-power consumption,
small silicon footprint, and real-time connectivity," said
Xiaolu Mei, co-founder and VP of
R&D at Orbbec. "We integrated the IP in two weeks and achieved
first-pass silicon success, all while meeting our design goals. We
will continue our successful collaboration with Synopsys and are
considering using Synopsys' DesignWare C-PHY/D-PHY IP in our future
designs."
DesignWare C-PHY/D-PHY addresses energy requirements by
supporting low-power state modes and delivering below 1.3pJ/bit at
24 Gb/s. The IP enables 4K and beyond
displays and 100-megapixel cameras with support for up to 4.5 Gb/s
per lane maximum speed in D-PHY configuration and 3.5 Gs/s per trio
in C-PHY configuration. To improve system test and debug
efficiency, the IP offers comprehensive built-in test capabilities,
including pattern generator, logic analyzer, and loopback modes
covering all circuits. The high-performance, low-power DesignWare
MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY IP interoperates with Synopsys' MIPI DSI/DSI-2 and
CSI-2 controllers, which support key features of the latest MIPI
display and camera specifications including wider PHY protocol
interface (PPI), multiple virtual channels, advanced RAW data types
and display command set.
"As a board member with leadership roles on several MIPI working
groups, Synopsys continues to help drive the development and
adoption of MIPI interfaces in the industry," said Joel Huloux,
chairman of MIPI Alliance. "The availability of MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY IP
in advanced FinFET processes is another testament to Synopsys'
commitment in providing MIPI IP that designers can integrate into
their SoCs today."
"MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY IP delivers extremely fast connectivity in
mobile and automotive applications with advanced image sensors and
displays," said John Koeter, senior vice president of
marketing and strategy for IP at Synopsys. "The silicon-proven
C-PHY/D-PHY IP expands Synopsys' broad MIPI IP offering, enabling
designers to deploy the latest MIPI interfaces in their SoCs with
less risk."
Availability and Resources
The DesignWare C-PHY/D-PHY IP in 7-nm and 12-nm processes are
available now. The PHY in 16-nm, 6-nm, and 5-nm processes is
scheduled to be available in the third quarter of 2020. The
DesignWare CSI-2, DSI/DSI-2, and MIPI I3C® Controllers, and D-PHY
are available now.
