42.6.2 Supported Resolutions and Frame Rates

The table below presents some predefined and supported camera settings, assuming the following:

  • D-PHY: clock lane frequency is in the range of 250 MHz to 500 MHz, which results in a bandwidth of 500 Mbps to 1 Gbps for each data lane.
  • No significant control/reserved traffic is present on the link when pixel data is being transmitted.

Note: The CSI does not perform data decompression. For example, if a camera transmits the compressed data according to the Annex E of the CSI-2 Specification (data compression for raw data types), the CSI decodes the data as normal non-compressed raw data. The decompression is performed by the CSI2DC block.
