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...

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...
