The Lattice Semiconductor MIPI
®
DSI to OpenLDI/FPD-Link/LVDS Interface Bridge IP with the Lattice Semiconductor
CrossLink™ programmable device can translate DSI video streams from MIPI D-PHY interface to LVDS interface for an
FDP-Link connection to displays.
The Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) provides specifications for standardization in consumer mobile devices.
MIPI Display Serial Interface (DSI) and MIPI D-PHY specifications were developed to create a standardized interface for
all displays used in the mobile industry. As the industry evolves, bandwidth requirements have exceeded what display
manufacturers are capable of manufacturing, while application processor vendors can provide very fast interfacing
capabilities. For a cost effective solution, displays can be replaced with newer display, and the processor can be
retained. Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface has become popular to support fast data rates of video
transmission for Flat Panel Display Link (FPD-Link) connections.
