TSMC provides the industry's largest DPHY IP portfolio with the addition of the 28nm HPC process

Arasan Chip Systems (www.arasan.com) has released version 1.2 of the MIPI DPHY IP core, which supports up to 2.6Gbps on the TSMC 28nm HPC process.

Arasan's MIPI DPHY IP core is compatible with previous specifications capable of operating at speeds of 1.5 Gbps or lower. This IP is scheduled to be adopted in TSMC's latest HPC Plus process soon.

The latest DPHY IP provided by Arasan utilizes a new DPHY architecture optimized for ultra-low power and space. This architecture is already patent pending.



“Based on our eight years of experience with DPHY, we have developed a new, patent-pending DPHY architecture. This allows our customers to utilize industry-leading DPHY IP cores in terms of power, space, and reliability,” said Sridhar Shashidharan, an analog designer at Arasan.

Since starting to tape out its first DPHY IP core in 2008, Arasan has ported various nodes from 180nm to 28nm across all major foundries. Arasan currently possesses the most diverse libraries among DPHY IP cores.

Arasan has successfully completed rigorous quality and reliability testing on its DPHY IP cores used in automotive applications. As a result, its IP cores have already been adopted in the manufacturing processes of various automotive SoC manufacturers. Based on this, Arasan’s MIPI DSI and CSI IP cores, along with DPHY IP, are expanding their customer base to include semiconductor design companies for drones and various IoT products currently on the market.

Meanwhile, Arasan also provides fully functional MIPI CSI and DSI Tx & Rx controller IP as the 'Arasan Total MIPI IP Solution'.
