Edo Cohen, Co-Chair of the MIPI A-PHY Working Group, Valens Semiconductor
Raj Kumar Nagpal, Chair, MIPI D-PHY Working Group, Synopsys, Inc.
George Wiley, Chair, MIPI C-PHY Working Group
Kirill Dimitrov, Chair, MIPI M-PHY Working Group, Western Digital Technologies Inc.
MIPI's family of physical interfaces – A-PHY®, C-PHYSM, D-PHYSM, and M-PHY® – serve as the backbone of MIPI's protocol solutions, particularly those for camera, display and flash storage applications in a wide array of platforms. In this session, working group chairs share what makes each PHY distinct, provide an overview of the latest features and enhancements, and offer a glimpse at what's on the roadmap for future versions.
