MIPI D-PHY is a practical PHY for typical camera and display applications. It is designed to replace traditional parallel bus based on LVCMOS or LVDS. However, many processors and displays/cameras still use an RGB, CMOS, or MIPI Display Pixel Interface (DPI) as interface. A bridge is often required to connect a processor...

In some cases, mobile Application Processors (AP) may not have enough interfaces to support the number of image sensor inputs required for a particular application. In other cases, the processing latency between image sensors and imaging data may be too large. The Lattice Semiconductor Dual MIPI CSI-2 to Single MIPI CSI-2...

Shift registers can help reduce size and BOM in designs that use LEDs. By providing I/O expansion, they enable the use of smaller, less expensive microcontrollers.
In some cases, the shift register can be used to drive the LED directly and thus eliminate the need for external LED drivers. This adds to the savings,...

The first rule of war is “know your enemy”. It is the same principle with Solid State Lighting (SSL) – if you don’t understand how an LED behaves, don’t be surprised when your application doesn’t succeed.
LEDs are non-linear devices. If a low voltage is applied to an LED it does...
