This document discusses the design of an automotive system-on-chip that includes a high-speed MIPI interface meeting ISO 26262 ASIL-B safety standards. It outlines the challenges of designing for safety-critical applications with stringent reliability requirements. These include implementing error detection and correction mechanisms to address high transient failure rates, achieving tight timing control for sensor interfaces, and integrating third-party intellectual property while ensuring functional safety. The document also compares approaches for standard and automotive-grade MIPI IP cores in terms of reliability, safety, testability and performance considerations.
