About The MIPI Alliance

The Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance is a collaboration of mobile industry leaders with the objective to define and promote open standards for interfaces to mobile application processors. Through these open standards, the MIPI Alliance intends to speed deployment of new services to mobile users by establishing specifications for standard hardware and software interfaces to mobile application processors and encouraging the adoption of those standards throughout the industry value chain. The MIPI Alliance is intended to complement existing standards bodies with a focus on microprocessors, peripherals and software interfaces.

MIPI D-PHY and M-PHY

The MIPI D-PHY and M-PHY are defined in the PHY working group of the MIPI Alliance. The PHYs are targeted to run with the protocols being defined in the MIPI Alliance. As shown in the diagram, the D-PHY and M-PHY will work with the Camera Serial Interface, the Display Serial Interface, and the Universal Protocol Interface standards. The M-PHY is also targeted as the PHY layer between the Digital Baseband and the analog RF sections of a mobile device as part of the new DigRF specification.
