Belgrade, Serbia – December 7th, 2012 – HDL Design House, provider of high performance digital and analog IP cores and SoC design and verification services, today announced availability of MIPI CSI-2 Transmitter (HIP 3900), digital core that is compliant with the MIPI Alliance CSI-2 Specification, as part of HDL Design House FlexIP core library. CSI-2 (Camera Serial Interface) transmitter IP core (HIP 3900) is highly configurable, synthesizable digital IP core which receives pixels from camera sensor, performs packing in form of CSI-2 long packets and short packets, and sends them via PPI interface to the Host processor. HDL Design House CSI-2 Tx IP core can be combined with CSI-2 Rx and D-PHY IP cores, also available from the FlexIP core library, thus providing a complete, single-vendor MIPI CSI-2 solution.
HIP 3900 is compliant with the following specifications: CSI-2 (Camera Serial Interface) version 1.01, D-PHY version 1.0, AMBA3 AHB-Lite Protocol Specification version 1.0. The AHB interface is used for configuration of CSI-2 transmitter IP core, allowing external access to the core’s 32-bit configuration, status, power management, and interrupt registers. The PPI interface is used to transmit pixel and command from external D-PHY, using independent High Speed (HS) and Low Power (LP) TX data paths. When in LP mode, the CSI-2 Transmitter IP core is used for Ultra Low Power control. In HS mode, the data is received using between 1 and 4 data lanes. Camera Pixel Interface is used to directly connect Camera sensor with CSI-2 Transmitter IP Core. HIP 3900 is a configurable IP core with more than 30 configuration and interrupt registers.
HDL Design House CSI-2 Transmitter IP core (HIP 3900) supports up to 4 data lanes, one clock lane and up to 4 virtual channels. HIP 3900 supports High Speed, Low Power and Ultra Low Power modes. It supports various pixel formats defined in CSI protocol version 1.01: YUV420 8-bit, YUV420 8-bit (legacy), YUV420 10-bit, YUV422 10-bit, YUV420 8-bit (CSPS), YUV420 10-bit (CSPS), YUV422 8-bit, YUV422 10-bit, RGB888, RGB666, RGB565, RGB555, RGB444,RAW6, RAW7,RAW8, RAW10, RAW12, RAW14.
HDL Design House MIPI CSI-2 Transmitter IP core is available now, along with CSI-2 Rx and the silicon-proven MIPI D-PHY IP core in 65nm and 40nm.
HDL Design House has been a MIPI Alliance Contributor Member since 2010.
