MIPI UniPro 1.x Controller IP

Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s MIPI UniPro 1.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 v1.8 and MIPI M-PHY v4.1 specifications and backward compatible with UniPro v1.6 and M-PHY v3.0, it delivers high-speed, low-latency communication between chipsets and peripheral components at up to 11.6 Gbps per lane. Designed as the interconnect backbone for UFS 3.x and UFS 2.x storage subsystems, it provides a proven, robust foundation for demanding storage interface designs.

For SoC teams building on established UFS 3.x and 2.x platforms, a silicon-proven UniPro 1.x controller removes one of the most critical integration risks in the storage subsystem design cycle. SmartDV’s UniPro 1.x Controller IP has been validated across multiple real customer designs, giving teams the assurance of a mature, production-tested implementation that performs reliably from first bring-up through mass production.

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 full HS and PWM gear coverage make it a complete, low-risk interconnect solution for mobile and automotive UFS 3.x and 2.x storage designs.
