MIPI UniPro is a recent addition to mobile chip-to-chip interconnect technology. It’s got many useful features to meet the requirements of mobile applications. That’s perhaps why Google’s Project Ara has selected MIPI UniPro and MIPI M-PHY as its backbone interconnects.
In this blog post, we describe three differentiating features, benefits and their verification challenges. All the discussion is referenced to MIPI UniPro 1.6.
- Achieving Low power consumption through Power mode changes and hibernation
- Flexibility in chip-to-chip lane routing through Physical Lane mapping
- Enhanced QoS through CPort arbitration & Data link layer pre-emption
