Several production nodes employ C-PHY/D-PHY Combo to consume the least amount of energy and funds. Users can configure the Combo PHY in D-PHY or C-PHY mode to support a range of applications. Additionally, it complies with the PPI interface, making it simple to connect to either the CIS-2 or DSI controller. The most competitive foundry methods in terms of PPA (Performance, Power, and Area) and standard compliances are D-PHY and C/D-PHY Combo. A wide range of functions are offered by the ISO 26262 ASIL-B approved MIPI D-PHY for automotive multimedia applications.
