In order to use the least amount of power and money, several production nodes use C-PHY/D-PHY Combo. The Combo PHY can be set up by users in either D-PHY or C-PHY mode to support a variety of applications. It is also PPI interface compliant, making it straightforward to connect to either the CIS-2 or DSI controller. In terms of PPA (Performance, Power, and Area) and standard compliances, D-PHY and C/D-PHY Combo are the most competitive foundry processes. The ISO 26262 ASIL-B certified MIPI D-PHY for automotive multimedia applications provides a wide range of features.
