The MIPI CSI-2 TX controller implements camera sensor transmitter interface over MIPI D-PHY interface. It can be used to bridge between non-MIPI camera sensors to MIPI based image sensor processors or to map video data captured over other interfaces such as HDMI and DisplayPort to a MIPI CSI interface. MIPI is a group of protocols defined by the mobile industry group to standardize all interfaces within mobile platforms such as mobile phones and tablets. However the large volumes and the economies of scale of the mobile industry is forcing other applications to also adopt these standards. As such MIPI-based camera sensors and Image sensor processors are being increasingly used in applications such as driver assistance technologies in automotive applications, video security surveillance cameras, video conferencing and emerging applications such as virtual and augmented reality.
