The company claims that these two specifications deliver
the highest performance and most power efficient data transport interface
technology.
“The MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro specifications
are becoming widely adopted, both by individual companies and organizations
such as JEDEC,” said Joel Huloux, chairman of the Board for MIPI Alliance.
M-PHY v2.0 has been adopted and is available for MIPI
Alliance members. UniPro v1.41 is scheduled for adoption by the end
of July 2012.
M-PHY v2.0 offers an optimized scalable physical layer
with bandwidth speeds reaching 2.9Gbps per lane, while the UniPro v1.41 updates
the specification, focusing on the M-PHY physical layer to provide a unified,
layered protocol stack.
Being high bandwidth serial interface, M-PHY v2.0 offers
a wide data rate range spanning 10kbps to near 6Gbps. By using this
specification, bandwidth can be scaled based on the application needs.
On the other hand, UniPro v1.41uses a stack of protocol
layers, serving as a high performance processing pipeline for data units.
Built on the M-PHY physical layer, UniPro v1.41 is
suitable for a wide range of component types including application processors,
co-processors and modems, as well as different types of data traffic.
UniPro is scalable from a single link to network
architecture. It also reduces time-to-market and design costs by simplifying
the interconnection between disparate devices.
MIPI launches two new specifications for mobile device
applications
Last year, the company introduced the M-PHY v1.0 and thee
UniPro v1.4 specifications.
