MIPI UniPro for PCIe Veterans-September 23, 2015 |
The MIPI Unified Protocol (UniPro) specification defines a layered protocol for interconnecting devices and components within mobile device systems. It is applicable to a wide range of component types including application processors, co-processors, and modems. MIPI UniPro powers the JEDEC UFS, MIPI DSI2 and MIPI CSI3 applications. As of now, MIPI UniPro has been adopted the most in the mobile storage segment through JEDEC UFS. Adoption of MIPI UniPro and MIPI M-PHY provides lower power and higher performance solutions.
Many PCIe veterans may already have begun implementing MIPI UniPro in their designs. This blog post takes you through a quick view of the MIPI UniPro and MIPI M-PHY stack from a PCIe perspective. As you will notice, there are many similarities.
