MIPI UniPro 2.x Controller IP

Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s MIPI UniPro 2.x Controller IP is a silicon-proven interconnect solution engineered for SoC applications in mobile, automotive, and high-performance embedded systems. Fully compliant with MIPI UniPro v2.0 and MIPI M-PHY v5.0 specifications and backward compatible with UniPro v1.8, v1.6 and M-PHY v4.1 and v3.0, it delivers high-speed, low-latency communication between chipsets and peripheral components at up to 23.3 Gbps per lane. With a proven track record in production silicon, it provides a reliable and mature interconnect foundation for UFS 4.x and UFS 3.x storage subsystems.

UniPro v2.0 introduced significant advances over earlier versions including HS-G5 gear support, DME Reset Mode, L2 buffer extension, and RMMI bus width extension that together deliver a meaningful step up in interconnect performance and flexibility. SmartDV’s silicon-proven implementation of these advances gives SoC teams a production-validated UniPro v2.0 controller that has been tested in real customer silicon, removing one of the most complex integration challenges in UFS-based storage subsystem design.

Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization, power management, and peak performance. Combined with its silicon-proven status, its parameterized architecture and broad backward compatibility across UniPro and M-PHY versions make it a complete, low-risk interconnect solution for mobile and automotive UFS storage designs.
