Silvaco Group, Inc., a provider of AI-enabled TCAD and EDA solutions, announced the immediate availability of Mixel, its MIPI 'Production Ready Offerings' or Mixel MIPI 'PRO IP'. This announcement reinforces Silvaco's commitment to providing silicon-proven, high-performance connectivity solutions with outstanding customer service, building on its reputation for "Mixed-Signal Excellence."

Why it matters

The availability of the Mixel MIPI IP portfolio strengthens Silvaco's broader IP offerings with high-performance interface solutions. By combining Mixel's mixed-signal IP leadership with Silvaco's extensive IP ecosystem, Silvaco is advancing a larger strategy to lead the semiconductor IP market by expanding IP coverage at the most advanced process nodes and supporting a wider range of high-growth applications.

The details

The Mixel MIPI IP portfolio includes MIPI PHY (MIPI D-PHY, MIPI C-PHY, and MIPI M-PHY) and multi-standard SerDes IP including MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY combo IP and LVDS/D-PHY combo IP. Mixel also announced support for the Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA) Motion Link IP last year. Mixel's MIPI PHY IP are silicon-proven in multiple MIPI-compliant configurations including proprietary topologies such as MIPI D-PHY RX+, which allows for full-speed production testing without requiring a full D-PHY Universal configuration, resulting in a substantial reduction of 35% in area and 50% reduction in leakage power.

  • Mixel was the first pure-play silicon IP provider to announce availability of the ASA Motion Link SerDes IP in 2025.
  • Mixel's patented MIPI D-PHY RX+ implementation was first announced in 2015 and is in production at many of the world's largest semiconductor and system companies in mission-critical applications.
