This is the second installment of the 802.XX for the IoE series of articles. The first one was published in the August issue and addressed the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. In this article, we ...

MIPI interfaces play a strategic role in 5G mobile devices, connected car, and IoT solutions, defining three unique physical (PHY) layer specifications: MIPI D-PHY, M-PHY and C-PHY. MIPI D-PHY and ...

As the mobile and portable device industry began evolving, manufacturers were more or less on their own. Consequently, many technologies and interfaces, usually not well defined and often proprietary ...

The physical layer interface is necessary for a chip to access the outside world, but it threatens to consume increasing portions of the power budget. What can be done to prevent a PHY limit? Physics ...
