Cosmic Circuits, a provider of differentiated analog and mixed-signal IP cores, has declared the accessibility of its silicon-proven MIPI Alliance M-PHYSM solution in 40 nm.
Cosmic Circuits’ portfolios of differentiated analog IP cores in nm technology include analog-front-end platforms for wireless and audio, power-management, data-converters, clocking and MIPI interfaces.
Cosmic Circuits’ M-PHY adapts both the HS-G1 and HS-G2 modes and is suitable for present and future usages in LLI, DigRFv4, and Unified Protocol (UniPro), which is the base for UFS and CSI-3.
Both the SYS and PWM modes with slow operations are supported by the IP, which renders it a complete PHY. For expected multiple configurations and extensive usages, the employment of the PHY is modular, the receiver (RX) and transmitter (TX) blocks are modularized, on the other hand, the PLL, bandgap and regulators are incorporated into a common block.
Such a type of modular method favors quick standardization of all configurations. Remembering the information-width requirements of the controllers, the PHY Protocol Interface (PPI) of every sub-link (TX/RX) accepts 40, 20 or 10 bit bus-widths that provide capability with various controllers and applications.
Sundararajan Krishnan, director of IP of Cosmic Circuits, stated that the company is involved in offering MIPI solutions in different technology nodes. The company collaborates with its controller partners to offer complete PHY and controller solution. Application boards with the controller on FPGA and the M-PHY test-chip of Cosmic Circuits are made available to selective customers.
