Alliance application or protocol level specifications. This includes the physical interface, electrical interface, 11
low-level timing and the PHY-level protocol. The goal has been to define a C-PHY high-speed interface that 12
can coexist on the same pins as the MIPI D-PHY interface. These functional areas taken together are known 13
as C-PHY.
1 This specification provides a flexible, low-cost, High-Speed serial interface solution for communication
2 interconnection between components inside a mobile device. Traditionally, these interfaces are CMOS
3 parallel busses at low bit rates with slow edges for EMI reasons. The D-PHY solution enables significant
4 extension of the interface bandwidth for more advanced applications. The D-PHY solution can be realized
5 with very low power consumption.
