The C-PHY configuration consists of up to three lane modules and is based on 3-Phase symbol encoding technology, delivering 2.28 bits per symbol over three-wire trios and targeting a maximum rate of 2.5 Gsps, 5.7Gbps. The C-PHY is partitioned into a digital module – CIL (Control and Interface Logic) and a mixed-signal module. The PHY IP is provided as a combination of soft IP views (RTL, and STA Constraints) for the digital module, and hard IP views (GDSII/CDL/LEF/LIB) for the mixed-signal module.
