The MIPI Alliance is a non-profit corporation developing interface specifications that drive consistency in processor and peripheral interfaces. Their efforts have led to strong MIPI CSI-2 interest, across all computing and consumer electronic devices with an image sensor. According to In-Stat, penetration of CSI-2 in these devices will exceed 70% by 2016.ç
“Proprietary interfaces prevent devices from different manufacturers from working together and result in industry fragmentation,” says Jim McGregor, Chief Technology Strategist. “MIPI’s CSI-2 and CSI-3 provide the entire electronics industry, not just mobile devices, with a standard that is high-speed, low-power, cost-effective, and scalable.”
Applications that directly manipulate image sensor data are forcing a migration of many devices away from using image sensors with integrated image signal processors (ISPs). According to the report, Smartphones and handsets will account for the largest percentage and highest growth rate of CSI-2 and CSI-3 penetration. Game consoles are expected to be the primary use of image sensors (and cameras) in the living room.
