Arasan Chip Systems, the leading provider of MIPI Camera and Display IP Solutions, announces support for MIPI DSI-2 v1.0 with support for MIPI C-PHY v1.0 and MIPI D-PHY v2.0.
DSI-2 v1.0 extends Arasan’s 13 years of support of MIPI IP, to the next generation of high-resolution cameras and displays.
Arasan’s MIPI DSI IP Core compliant to the MIPI DSI-2 v1.0 Specification is seamlessly integrated with the MIPI CPHY v 1.0 and MIPI D-PHY v2.0. The three lane C-PHY configuration and the four lane D-PHY configuration support 17Gbps and 18Gbps respectively. Display resolutions from 1080p at 240fps to UHD (4K) at 60fps are supported with these standards. And higher resolutions are obtainable through additional D-PHY lanes or of compression.
“Our DSI IP in combination with our C-PHY and D-PHY analog IP offers early adopters the fastest time to market while ensuring compliance.” said Sam W. Beal, Director of Marketing, Arasan Chip Systems.
