Mouser Electronics, the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the new automotive-compliant PI2MEQX2505Q MIPI CSI-2/DSI D-PHY ReDriver from Diodes Incorporated. The PI2MEQX2505Q is a low-power, high-performance four-lane data and clock MIPI D-PHY ReDriver designed specifically for the MIPI D-PHY 1.2 protocol, automotive advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and camera monitoring applications.
The Diodes Incorporated PI2MEQX2505Q 2.5Gbps MIPI CSI-2/DSI D-PHY ReDriver, available from Mouser, provides programmable equalization, pre-emphasis, and output swing to optimize performance over a variety of physical mediums by reducing Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). This configurability allows engineers to extend PCB trace lengths while reducing signal latency and minimizing overall system cost and power consumption.
The PI2MEQX2505Q supports the MIPI D-PHY 1.2 standard with 100Ω differential CML data I/O between a CSI-2 source and a CSI-2 sink, over cable, or to extend signals across other distant data pathways on the user’s platform. It also supports pin-adjustable receiver equalization and edge rate on transmitter rise and fall time. For instance, the receiver equalization can be set to three standard levels, 3dB, 6dB, or 9dB at 1250 MHz, with the pre-emphasis levels set at 0dB, 1dB, or 3dB, while the output voltage swing can be adjusted up to 275 mV. These settings can be configured via the local I2C interface or via pin-strap control.
The PI2MEQX2505Q includes activity-detection circuitry on the D-PHY Link interface that can transition to a lower-power mode when in ULPS and LP states. The PI2MEQX2505Q supports data rates up to 2.5 Gbps across its configuration, which differentiates it from other retimer solutions on the market, enabling it to support the higher pixel-count requirements of automotive camera monitoring systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
