The MIPI A-PHY interface offers an innovative asymmetric data link layer optimized for long-reach automotive applications. Supporting a daisy-chain or point-to-point topology, it can extend up to 15 meters and accommodate both high-speed data and control data on the same wiring. This interface stands out for its ultra-low packet error rate, enhancing reliability throughout the vehicle's life. The capability to handle multiple speed gears makes it adaptable across various use cases, reducing both cost and complexity in vehicle architecture.
