Mixel, a leading provider of mixed-signal intellectual property (IP), and Hercules Microelectronics (HME), a China-based developer of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) cores, announced that Mixel’s MIPI (mobile industry processor interface) IP solution has been successfully integrated into HME-H1D03 FPGA and is in mass production.
At the 2020 China IC Design Achievement Award Ceremony, HME earned the coveted award for “Best FPGA/Processor of the Year” for its product, the HME-H1D03 FPGA. The HME-H1D03 is an intelligent video 
bridge device integrating high-performance FPGA, enhanced microcontroller unit and MIPI interface. It supports 2K ultra high definition and above real-time high-resolution, high-bandwidth mobile interface cameras and displays, and can be widely used in consumer electronics, mobile phone screen displays, VR/AR equipment, smart home and other markets.
Mixel provided Hercules Microelectronics with Mixel’s MIPI D-PHY Universal IP and HME achieved first-time silicon success. The complete MIPI solution included three IP products delivered fully integrated and validated: Mixel’s MIPI D-PHY Universal IP, which can operate as either a transmitter or receiver, and the corresponding MIPI DSISM host and peripheral controller cores.
The MIPI D-PHY link supports a data rate of 1.5 Gbps per lane and with 4 data lanes, the IP supports an aggregate bandwidth of 6.0 Gbps. It uses a clock-forwarded synchronous link that provides high noise immunity and high jitter tolerance at low power.
Mixel MIPI IP has been silicon-proven at nine different nodes and eight different foundries with more processes under active development, giving Mixel the widest coverage in the industry.
