Mixel Interface IP

Silicon-proven on 13 nodes at 9 foundries. Each card links to its product table below.

  • MIPI D-PHY

    Sends data on up to four lanes with a forwarded clock lane, carrying CSI-2 camera and DSI display traffic. Up to D-PHY v3.6, backward compatible with earlier versions, at up to 6.5 Gbps per lane.

    See D-PHY products

  • MIPI C-PHY

    Encodes data in the state transitions of a three-wire trio, providing 2.28 bits per symbol. That gives high throughput at a lower symbol rate, which improves power, performance and area as data rates increase. Up to C-PHY v2.1, backward compatible with earlier versions, with up to three trios at up to 8.0 Gsps per trio (18.24 Gbps).

    See C-PHY products

  • MIPI M-PHY

    A high-speed serial PHY with an embedded clock and multiple speed gears, carrying UFS storage and UniPro chip-to-chip links. M-PHY v4.1, HS-G1 to HS-G4, up to 11.66 Gbps.

    See M-PHY products

  • C-PHY/D-PHY combo

    One PHY that supports both C-PHY and D-PHY on shared pins, reusing D-PHY circuitry to save area and leakage. Up to C-PHY v2.1 and D-PHY v3.6, backward compatible with earlier versions, at up to 8.0 Gsps per trio and 6.5 Gbps per lane.

    See combo products

  • LVDS

    LVDS transmitters and receivers, plus an LVDS/D-PHY combo that drives LVDS or MIPI D-PHY displays from one PHY.

    See LVDS products

  • ASA Motion Link

    Automotive SerDes Alliance PHY for high-speed in-vehicle camera and display links. ASA Motion Link v2.1 at up to 8.0 Gbps per lane.

    See ASA products

Where Mixel IP is used

  • Edge AI and vision

    On-device AI processors in smart cameras, robotics, drones and industrial machine vision act on data where it's captured. Image sensors, LiDAR, radar, time-of-flight depth sensors and event-based vision sensors stream that data over MIPI CSI-2, carried by D-PHY, C-PHY or the C-PHY/D-PHY combo.

  • Automotive

    ADAS cameras, radar and image sensors, plus in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), cluster and in-cabin displays, connect over MIPI CSI-2 and DSI. ISO 26262 certified and ASIL-B ready MIPI and ASA IP covers short links inside each module and ASA Motion Link for longer in-vehicle camera and display links.

  • IoT and wearables

    Smart home cameras, video doorbells, AR/VR headsets, smart glasses and other battery-powered devices need camera and display links that sip power. D-PHY, C-PHY and the C-PHY/D-PHY combo carry MIPI CSI-2 and DSI with low-power modes and few pins.

  • Mobile

    Camera and display links to the application processor over CSI-2 and DSI, using D-PHY, C-PHY or the C-PHY/D-PHY combo. UFS storage over M-PHY.

  • Industrial and display

    Display panel links over LVDS, with the LVDS/D-PHY combo for designs that need to drive either LVDS or MIPI DSI displays.

Proven in silicon

Mixel IP is silicon-proven on 13 nodes at 9 foundries, and Mixel was the first IP provider to demonstrate silicon-proven MIPI D-PHY, MIPI C-PHY and MIPI M-PHY.

Ask about your process

Send your foundry, process node, target interface (D-PHY, C-PHY, C-PHY/D-PHY combo, M-PHY, LVDS or ASA) and TX or RX configuration. We'll confirm which IP fits and whether it is available as PRO IP or silicon-proven on that process.

Questions About Mixel Interface IP

Silvaco provides the complete Mixel mixed-signal interface IP product line: MIPI D-PHY, C-PHY and M-PHY, C-PHY/D-PHY and LVDS/D-PHY combo PHYs, LVDS, and ASA Motion Link. Mixel IP is silicon-proven on 13 nodes at 9 foundries.

D-PHY sends data on up to four lanes with a forwarded clock lane. C-PHY embeds the clock in three-wire trios and carries 2.28 bits per symbol, so it reaches high throughput at a lower symbol rate. Both carry CSI-2 camera and DSI display traffic. M-PHY is a serial PHY with an embedded clock and multiple speed gears, used for UFS storage and UniPro chip-to-chip links. Mixel IP supports up to D-PHY v3.6 and C-PHY v2.1, backward compatible with earlier versions, at up to 6.5 Gbps per lane and 8.0 Gsps per trio, and M-PHY v4.1 up to HS-G4 (11.66 Gbps).

One PHY that supports both C-PHY and D-PHY on shared pins, so a single design can connect to C-PHY or D-PHY sensors and displays. The Mixel combo reuses D-PHY circuitry to save area and leakage. Most customers choose the Mixel combo over standalone C-PHY.

LVDS is a differential interface used for display and camera links outside MIPI, for example in industrial and automotive displays. The LVDS/D-PHY combo supports both on one PHY, so the same chip can drive LVDS or MIPI D-PHY displays.

ASA Motion Link is the Automotive SerDes Alliance standard for high-speed in-vehicle links, such as cameras and displays. Mixel ASA Motion Link IP supports v2.1 at up to 8.0 Gbps per lane (NRZ, speed grade 3).

Mixel IP is silicon-proven on 13 nodes at 9 foundries. The product tables on this page list what is readily available now as PRO IP, by foundry and node. If you don't see your process, talk to the IP team.

PRO IP stands for Production-Ready Offerings: Silvaco IP characterized for specific foundry processes and available to license now. It is listed in the PRO IP Product Selection Guide and in the product tables on this page.

A Mixel IP license includes a data sheet and specifications, integration guidelines, GDSII database, LEF file, LVS netlist, timing model, Verilog model, IBIS model, RTL, test benches, and customer support through production. Functional safety deliverables such as the DFMEA, FMEDA, and safety manual for automotive designs are also available. Talk to the IP team about licensing terms.

Mixel IP is silicon-proven on 13 nodes at 9 foundries, and Mixel was the first IP provider to demonstrate silicon-proven MIPI D-PHY, MIPI C-PHY and MIPI M-PHY. For automotive designs, Mixel IP is ASIL-B ready, developed under an ISO 26262 process certified up to ASIL-D since 2021, and available as automotive-grade IP supporting AEC-Q100 automotive Grade 1 and 2 designs.
