Version 1.1.1 dramatically enhances the speed and flexibility of I3C Basic, simplifying the development of innovative designs for products such as smartphones, wearables, and systems in automobiles and server environments. As the successor to the legacy I2C interface, MIPI I3C/I3C Basic provides a […]
MIPI update improves mobile-display user experience
The MIPI Alliance announced the next generation of its widely implemented MIPI Display Serial Interface 2 (MIPI DSI-2) specification. MIPI DSI-2 v2.0 delivers significant improvements to the user experience while boosting power savings across far-reaching application spaces such as mobile, automotive, and gaming. When coupled with the most recent versions of the MIPI C- and D-PHY physical interfaces, it also offers twice the bandwidth over the previous […]
MIPI A-PHY v1.0 spec is now part of IEEE standard
The MIPI Alliance announced the adoption of the MIPI A-PHY v1.0 specification as an IEEE standard. Published as IEEE 2977-2021, IEEE Standard for Adoption of MIPI Alliance Specification for A-PHY Interface (A-PHY) Version 1.0, A-PHY is the first asymmetric, industry-standard, long-reach, serializer-deserializer (SerDes) physical layer interface for automotive applications. The process was initiated in October 2020 […]
MIPI Debug for I3C v1.0 allows for efficient debug and test
The MIPI Alliance announced the public availability of MIPI Debug for I3C v1.0, a flexible and scalable debug and test specification for systems that enable 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive, and other applications. This new specification, built on the MIPI I3C v1.1 (and MIPI I3C Basic v1.0) utility and control bus, allows system designers to efficiently and […]
MIPI v3.0 enables more rapid and dynamic configuration changes for RF front-end subsystems
The MIPI Alliance, an international organization that develops interface specifications for mobile and mobile-influenced industries, today announced the release of MIPI RF Front End Control Interface (MIPI RFFE) v3.0. The latest version of the world’s de facto standard interface for control of radio frequency (RF) front-end (FE) subsystems, MIPI RFFE v3.0 is designed to deliver the tighter timing […]
MIPI A-PHY spec underway for ADS, ADAS and surround sensor applications
The MIPI Alliance has mapped a course to address the automotive industry’s needs for high-speed data interface specifications. With development of the MIPI A-PHY physical layer specification already underway to meet 12-24 gigabits per second (Gbps), requirements gathering has begun to support higher speeds including over 48 Gbps for display and other use cases. When complete, […]
Common data format for transmitting software trace, debug information now available
The MIPI Alliance, an international organization that develops interface specifications for mobile and mobile-influenced industries, today released MIPI System Software Trace (MIPI SyS-T), a common data format for transmitting software trace and debug information between a test system and a device, such as a system-on-chip (SoC) or platform. The specification is publicly available to developers, and […]
