MIPI CSI-2 RX Subsystem needs Tclk-POST to be a minimum of 18 rxbyteclkhs. MIPI D-PHY v2.0 recommends the minimum value of Tclk-POST as 60 ns + 52 UI. For non-Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 and Versal Prime Series Gen 2 devices, consider the maximum of these two Tclk-POST values for the MIPI source.

For example:

  1. For a line rate of 896 Mb/s, rxbyteclkhs is 8.9285 ns. The required Tclk-POST is 18*8.9285 ns = 160 ns
  2. The following tables show examples for specific line rates.
    Table 1. Line Rate Specific Example
    Line Rate EQ1: Tclk-POST minimum per D-PHY 2.0 specification (60 ns + 52 UI) EQ2: Required Tclk-POST minimum by MIPI CSI-2 RX Subsystem Final Tclk-POST MAX (EQ1, EQ2)
    896 118 ns 160 ns 160 ns
    1440 96 ns 100 ns 100 ns
    2000 86 ns 72 ns 86 ns

Tclk-POST is the Transmitter (D-PHY or CSI-2) setting you need to set based on the receiver requirements.
