Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device includes first to sixth external connection terminals, a first receiver connected to the first and second external connection terminals, a second receiver connected to the third and fourth external connection terminals, a third receiver connected to the fifth and sixth external connection terminals, a C-PHY block, a D-PHY block and a main processing section. The C-PHY block is configured to generate first reception data by performing signal processing on signals received from the first, second and third receivers in accordance with the MIPI C-PHY specification. The D-PHY block is configured to generate second reception data by performing signal processing on signals received from the first, second and third receivers in accordance with the MIPI D-PHY specification. The main processing section is configured to selectively receive the first and second reception data and perform desired processing on the received data.
