Description and Features
The MIPI Camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2) is an interface between a Camera and a host processor baseband application engine. This interface is defined by MIPI Alliance, which defines a series of modules in a MIPI compliant product. This MIPI CSI-2 Receiver is used in mobile and high–speed serial applications as a controller for receiving camera video and transmitting camera commands from/to MIPI CSI-2 Transmitter over MIPI lines. The camera data is encoded and then transmitted. The MIPI CSI-2 Transmitter along with our MIPI CSI-2 Receiver and MIPI DPHY provides a complete solution for decoding MIPI CSI-2 data.
