: Features like Continuous-Time Linear Equalizer (CTLE) and Alternate Low Power (ALP) have been added to maintain signal integrity and reduce power over longer interconnects (up to 4 meters). Primary Use Cases
D-PHY v2.0 remains the dominant topology for mainstream mobile sensors due to its simpler logic controller and lower latency for short bursts.
The genius of the D-PHY specification lies in its duality. The spec mandates a hybrid architecture that feels almost contradictory on paper, yet works seamlessly in silicon.
