The MIPI CSI-2 (Camera Serial Interface) defines an interface between a peripheral
device (camera) and host processor (application engine) for mobile applications.
The MIPI CSI-2 provides the mobile industry a standard, robust, scalable, low-power,
high-speed, cost-effective interface that supports a wide range of imaging solutions for
mobile devices.
Features
Compliance as per MIPI-CSI-2 version3.0
Compliance with C-PHY 2.0 for MIPI CSI-2 Version3.0
Compliance with D-PHY 2.5 for MIPI CSI-2 Version3.0
Compatibility with I2C and I3C(SDR,DDR) for CCI interface
CSI-2 Receiver supports C-PHY 2.0/ D-PHY 2.5/ A-PHY/ M-PHY. Only one PHY layer
can be configured at a time of transmission
Processor Interfaces are AHB Lite/APB/AXI for configuration
CSI-2 Receiver Supports Lane merging Function from N-Lanes and consolidate into
complete packet for LLP
In D-PHY, CSI-2 Receiver will detect the de-skew pattern. On communication with low
transmit frequencies, it will bypass the de-skew mechanism
In C-PHY, CSI-2 Receiver supports the sync word detection during payload reception
Pixel format supported are: YUV (420/422), RGB (888/666/565/555/444), RAW
(6/7/8/10/12/14/16/20/24), Generic 8-bit long packet data types, user defined byte based
data
Supports 16 Virtual channels for D-PHY and 32 Virtual channels for C-PHY
Supports error detection in data payload, data interleaving, scrambling and descrambling
