MIPI CSI-3 is a new generation of camera serial interface, expanding on the capabilities of CSI-2. By using a multipurpose link based on a common protocol stack (UniPort-M), CSI-3 provides higher bandwidth over fewer pins, with better power per bit efficiency than CSI-2. The SmartDV s MIPI CSI-3 Verification IP is fully compliant with version 1.2 MIPI Alliance specification for camera serial Interface 3 and provides the following features.
