Redriver boosts automotive camera link reliability
Diodes’ PI2MEQX2505Q MIPI D-PHY ReDriver supports data rates up to 2.5 Gbps, making it well suited for ADAS and automotive camera monitoring systems. It provides one clock lane and four differential data lanes. Each data lane features programmable receiver equalization, output swing, and pre-emphasis, configurable via I²C or pin-strap. This helps optimize performance and reduce intersymbol interference across different physical media.
Compliant with MIPI D-PHY 1.2, the device regenerates D-PHY signals for CSI-2 and DSI interfaces over PCB traces, connectors, and cables. This extends trace lengths while minimizing power consumption and maintaining low latency. Activity-detection circuitry allows the redriver to enter a lower-power mode during Ultra-Low Power State (ULPS) and low-power (LP) states.
The PI2MEQX2505Q is AEC-Q100, Grade 2 qualified and operates from a 1.8 V supply over a temperature range of –40 °C to +105 °C. It comes in a compact 3.5 × 5.5 mm W-QFN3555-28/SWP package, supporting high-density channel routing.
Available now, the PI2MEQX2505Q is priced at $0.88 each in lots of 3500 units.
