Abstract
A Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) physical layer (D-PHY) serial communication link and a method of reducing clock-data skew in a MIPI D-PHY serial communication link include apparatus including a clock transmitting circuit for transmitting a clock signal on a first lane of the MIPI D-PHY serial link, a data transmitting circuit for transmitting a data signal on a second lane of the MIPI D-PHY serial link, a clock receiving circuit for receiving the clock signal on the first lane of the MIPI D-PHY serial link, and a data receiving circuit for receiving the data signal on the second lane of the MIPI D-PHY serial link. The clock transmitting circuit and the data transmitting circuit transmit the clock signal and the data signal in phase during a calibration mode and out of phase during a normal operation mode.
