JEDEC UFS, MIPI UniPro and MIPI M-PHY Webinar

Presented on 15 February 2024, this webinar focuses on how JEDEC UFS leverages MIPI M-PHY® and MIPI UniPro® to provide its interconnect layer, and how its most advanced release, UFS 4.0, leverages the recent versions of these MIPI specifications to double its interface bandwidth. 

Learn more about:

  • How the latest M-PHY v5.0 physical-layer specification addresses increasing data rate requirements and provides engineers with design flexibility for advanced applications. This part of the presentation will detail how a new speed gear — "High Speed Gear 5" (HS-G5) at 23.32 Gigabits per second (Gbps) — doubles the potential data rate per lane compared with the previous specification.
  • How the latest UniPro v2.0 transport layer specification for interprocessor communication (IPC) supports a doubling of the physical-layer data rate by increasing packet payload length and decreasing communication latency through the addition of high-speed linkup.
  • How the latest, and most advanced interaction of UFS, 4.0, leverages M-PHY v5.0 and UniPro v2.0 to double the UFS interface bandwidth and enable up to ~4.2 GB/s for read and write traffic. This part of the presentation will detail key enhancements delivered within both UFS 4.0 and UFS 3.1.
