The MIPI Alliance announced C-Phy Version 3.0 which introduces support for an 18-Wirestate mode encoding option, increasing the maximum performance of a C-PHY lane by approximately 30 to 35%. This enhancement delivers up to 75Gbps over a short channel. The encoding option, 32b9s, transports 32 bits over nine symbols. For camera applications, the new mode enables the use of lower symbol rates or lane counts for existing use cases, or higher throughput with current lane counts to support new use cases.
