Pixel Output Interfaces
High Speed Serial Pixel Data Interface
The High Speed Serial Pixel (HiSPi) interface uses four data lanes and one clock as
output.

The HiSPi interface supports three protocols, Streaming-S, Streaming-SP, and Packetized
SP. The streaming protocols conform to a standard video application where each line of
active or intra-frame blanking provided by the sensor is transmitted at the same length.
The Packetized SP protocol will transmit only the active data ignoring line-to-line and
frame-to-frame blanking data.
These protocols are further described in the High-Speed Serial Pixel (HiSPi) Interface
Protocol Specification V1.50.00.
The HiSPi interface building block is a unidirectional differential serial interface with
four data and one double data rate (DDR) clock lanes. One clock for every four serial
data lanes is provided for phase alignment across multiple lanes. Figure 9 shows the
configuration between the HiSPi transmitter and the receiver.
