Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods using the apparatuses. Some of the apparatuses include a circuit structure that can be configured to operate in either the C-PHY mode or the D-PHY mode of the MIPI specification. In one device, the circuit structure can be included in a receiver of the device and configured to operate in the C-PHY mode. In another device, the circuit structure can be included in a receiver of the device and configured to operate in the D-PHY mode.

Reconfigurable camera serial interface

A system for measuring timing margins in an interface between a core and an input/output device on a chipset. In order to measure the amount of available variation in data and strobe signals, delay lines are introduced so that the data and strobe signals may be varied in relation to each other. By incrementally changing the delay and hence the time difference between the two signals, it is possible to determine the allowable variation when the device fails to operate. By providing delays on both sides, it is possible to determine the timing margin on both the setup and hold of the signals.
