• The MIPI Alliance has released two major updates to its UniPro and M-PHY specifications, targeting JEDEC Universal Flash Storage (UFS 5.0) for edge AI in mobile, PC, and automotive applications. • The new MIPI UniPro v3.0 and MIPI M-PHY v6.0 versions offer performance, latency, and power-efficiency improvements for JEDEC UFS 5.0 solutions to support edge AI workloads in smartphones, tablets, PCs, gaming consoles, automotive, and industrial applications. • These latest releases will enable emerging edge AI workloads that require low-latency, high-bandwidth, and power-efficient data access, processing, and storage, according to the MIPI Alliance. • The latest version of the physical layer interface, MIPI M-PHY v6.0, introduces three new improvements. • It adds a high-speed gear (HS-G6) using PAM4 signaling scheme, a new 1b1b line encoding for HS-G6, and an optional link equalization and training feature for greater performance margin and enhanced interoperability HS-G6 doubles the bandwidth of the interface to a maximum of 46.694 Gbits/s per lane, while the 1b1b line encoding improves throughput efficiency by reducing PHY coding overhead. • The specification is backward compatible with M-PHY v5.0.
