Why is the PHY specification independent of the camera and display specifications?
MIPI determined that this separation of tasks was the most optimal use of MIPI resources and MIPI member company resources. For MIPI, this enabled efficient use of expert participants’ time and produced a single PHY specification which would be re-used by multiple interface specifications. For member companies, much of their investment in PHY implementation can be re-used for camera, display and future interface implementations .
