M-PHY Philosophy
The PHY, TX and RX, are specified as separate entities
– Each implementer can tailor its M-PHY interface to fit its needs
The interface to the protocol is defined (informative
normative)
Flexibility through capability, configuration and status
registers
Optimized for chip to chip interconnect
2 types of architecture supported
2 types of cloking schemes
Low power
Low EMI
Session Title P 6

Capabilities and Configuration
At link start-up, the local and remote protocols will read
the capabilities of the remote M-PHY, and will configure their
own M-PHY to the common denominator

Power Optimization vs Link Traffic
HS-BURST w/ FILLER
– PHY remains in BURST when no data
– Zero latency between frames
HS-BURST to STALL
– PHY goes to STALL to save some power
– Latency in the ns range
HS-BURST to SAVE
– PHY goes to SAVE to save more power
– Latency in the μs range
HS-BURST to HIBERNATE (H8)
– 0 mW idle power
– Latency in the 100 μs range

Session Title P 13
Asymmetric Links In some applications, the link datarate is not
symmetrical in both directions
Camera, Display, …
M-PHY allows to operate the link in High-Speed in one
direction, and in Low-Speed in the reverse direction
It could also allow to have one direction in idle mode
and the other in active mode

Conclusion
Thanks to its un-precedented flexibility, the M-PHY
interface is enjoying a wide adoption in the phone
industry
Due to the explosion of the mobile market (tablets,
electronic readers,…), it is now being used in other
fields of applications
Its future extension to higher data-rates (10 Gbps in
2013) should also enable new applications
