Arasan Announces it's 2'nd Generation MIPI C-PHY / D-PHY IP Combo Core for C-PHY v1.2 Specifications

Arasan Chip Systems a leading provider of semiconductor IP for mobile and automobile SoCs today announced the immediate availability of its MIPI C-PHY IP Core for nodes from 28nm to 12nm

Sep 13, 2018 -- San Jose, CA -- Arasan today announced the immediate availability of its MIPI C-PHY / D-PHY Combo IP Core compliant to the C-PHY specification Version 1.2 while also being compliant to the D-PHY 1.2 Specification. The design can be enhanced to support the latest D-PHY 2.1 Specification upon customer request. The 2’nd generation Combo PHY has been further improved from our first generation 28nm designs for low power and area while reducing the area penalty compared to a standalone D-PHY. Hence the new C-PHY / D-PHY Combo is a universal PHY that future proofs our customers who may wish to have a D-PHY only design, but may need to support or insure themselves for C-PHY support in future with negligible area impact.
