The MXL-TXRX-MIPI is a high-frequency low-power, low-cost, source-synchronous, physical Layer compliant with the MIPI Alliance Standard for D-PHY. Although it is primarily used for connecting cameras and display devices to a cost processor, it can also be used for many other portable applications. It is used in a master-slave configuration. High-Speed signals have a
low voltage swing, while Low-Power signals have large swing. High-Speed functions are used for High-Speed Data traffic while low power functions are mostly used for control.

Clock lane supports unidirectional communication
80 Mbps to 1Gbps data rate in high speed mode
10 Mbps data rate in low-power mode
Modular design to allow for all possible configuration
"Mixel and Northwest Logic's leadership position in the MIPI IP's PHY and Controller markets respectively, was one of the factors that influenced our decision. The firstsilicon success and the outstanding support that we have received during multiple tape-outs validated this important choice. We're looking forward to a long-term collaboration with both companies. "
