MIPI_CSI2_Tx


MIPI CSI-2 is a standard specification defined by Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance.The Camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2) specification defines an interface between a peripheral device(camera) and a host processor (baseband, application engine).  MIPI_CSI2_Tx and MIPI_CSI2_Rx are included in the MIPI CSI2 license. MIPI CSI-2 Transmitter operates in two modes—High-speed mode and Low-power mode. In Highspeed mode, MIPI CSI-2 supports the transport of image data using short and long packets. Short packets provide frame synchronization and line synchronization information. Long packet provides the pixel information.
