MSDL™ 20G – Dual-Port 10 Gbps MIPI D-PHY SerDes for Next-Generation High-Speed Connectivity

MSDL™ 20G is Silicon Line's next-generation dual-port MIPI D-PHY SerDes solution, delivering up to 20 Gbps bandwidth. Designed for both optical and electrical links, it enables compact, low-power connectivity between high-resolution cameras, displays, and processors.

Ultra-Low Power
<100 mW per link in both optical and electrical modes, minimizing thermal load and extending system efficiency.
Higher Max. Speed
Two 10 Gbps MIPI D-PHY ports enable high-resolution, high-frame-rate camera and display connectivity.
Optical & Electrical Flexibility
It can be used to transport over optical or electrical links, providing utmost design flexibility.
Longer Reach, Smaller Footprint
Extend MIPI connectivity to tens of meters while replacing bulky copper cabling with thin, lightweight, EMI-immune optical links.
Compliant with MIPI Alliance USB Implementers Forum ISO HDMI DisplayPort
