Updated Interface Standards Table – MIPI HSI, HSIC, UniPro, UniPort, LLI, C2C
by On May 17, 2012
[Note: I updated the table below based on Ariel Lasry’s feedback. Thanks Ariel!]
I have updated the table below to list the PHY required for each standard. Hope this helps!
I also have it below as a text table for your cut-and-pasting pleasure:
| Standard | Release Date | Unidirectional Throughput | Pins/Signals/ Channels | Low Latency | PHY required |
| MIPI HSI |
2003 |
200 Mbit/sec |
8 |
No |
MIPI HSI PHY |
| USB HSIC |
2007 |
480 Mbit/sec |
2 |
No |
USB 2.0 HSIC PHY |
| MIPI UniPro, UniPort-D, and UniPort-M* |
2007 |
2,900 Mbit/sec per HS-G2 lane 5,800 Mbit/sec per HS-G3 lane |
2 pins per unidirectional lane |
No |
MIPI D-PHY or M-PHY |
| MIPI LLI* |
2011 |
2,900 Mbit/sec per HS-G2 lane 5,800 Mbit/sec per HS-G3 lane |
2 pins per unidirectional lane |
Yes ~80 ns |
MIPI M-PHY |
| C2C |
2010 |
6,400 Mbit/sec |
16 |
Yes ~100ns |
No |
* Although UniPort-M and LLI both use the MIPI M-PHY, the UniPort standard has higher protocol efficiency than LLI (97% versus 66%). This is because the primary purpose of UniPort is high throughput connectivity while the primary purpose of LLI is low latency.
