MIPI Transmitter Settings

The MIPI transmitter utility helps you determine a combination of TX interface settings that will work for your application. The following tables describe the settings and choices.
Note: The MIPI transmitter utility assumes that you are using general frame mode, that is, you are not sending line start and line end packets.
Table 1. MIPI Transmitter Utility Video Settings (Required)
Setting Choices Description
Data Type RAW6, RAW7, RAW8, RAW10, RAW12, RAW14, RGB444, RGB555, RGB565, RGB666, RGB888, YUV420 8-bit, YUV420 8-bit (legacy), YUV420 10-bit, YUV422 8-bit, YUV422 10-bit, User defined Choose the data type for the pixel color code.
# of data pixels per line Positive integer Number of horizontal data pixels per line. The number must be less than or equal to the maximum number of lines supported by the data type you choose. See T35 MIPI TX Video Data TYPE[5:0] Settings for the maximums.
# of data lines per frame Positive integer Include the number of data lines only, do not include blanking lines.
# of blanking lines per frame Positive integer greater than or equal to 3 Specify the number of blanking lines. The minimum is 3.
# of frames per second (Hz) Positive integer Number of video frame per second.
Horizontal blanking per line (μs) Positive integer Enter the horizontal blanking duration of each line in microseconds. For YUV420 data types, enter the blanking duration of the even lines.
Pixel clock frequency (MHz) Positive integer Synchronizes the transfer of pixel data from the FPGA fabric to the MIPI controller. The requirements for this number are dependent on the data type.
Table 2. MIPI Transmitter Utility MIPI TX Interface Settings (Required)
Settings Choices Description
Data rate (Mbps) 80 - 1500 Data rate in Mbps.
# of lanes 1, 2, or 4 Number of data lanes.
Clock mode Continuous or Non-Continuous Indicate the clock mode.
Table 3. MIPI Transmitter Utility MIPI TX Timing Settings (Optional)Turn off the Use Default Values option to enable the timing parameter settings

THS-ZERO (ns) Positive integer
THS-TRAIL (ns) Positive integer
TCLK-POST (ns) Positive integer
TCLK-TRAIL (ns) Positive integer
TCLK-PREPARE (ns) Positive integer
TCLK-ZERO (ns) Positive integer
TCLK-PRE (ns) Positive integer
