METHOD TO ENHANCE MIPI D-PHY LINK RATE WITH MINIMAL PHY CHANGES AND NO PROTOCOL CHANGES

摘要

System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. A first transition may be detected in a signal carried on a data lane of a data communications link or carried on a timing lane of the data communications link and an edge may be generated on a receiver clock signal based on the first transition. Data may be captured from the data lane using the receiver clock signal. The timing lane may carry a clock signal, a strobe signal or another signal providing timing information. The strobe signal may transition between signaling states when no state transition occurs on any of a plurality of data lanes at a boundary between consecutive data periods.

1. A method of data communications, comprising:
detecting a first transition in a signal carried on a data lane of a data communications link or carried on a timing lane of the data communications link, wherein the transition occurs at a boundary between a first data period and a second data period; generating an edge on a receiver clock signal based on the first transition; and capturing data received from the data lane using the receiver clock signal.
