Clock line does not transition to the LP11 state at lop temperatures

Thread Summary

The user encountered an issue with the ADV7281 where the clock line does not transition to the LP11 state when enabling CSI Tx at temperatures below -10°C. The solution involves adding a delay between MIPI D-PHY power-up and CSI Tx power-up. The ADI-recommended writes to registers D2, D8, E0, and 2C are necessary but not sufficient without the delay. The user confirmed receiving the necessary information.

We are encountering an issue with the ADV7281 where the clock line does not transition to the LP11 state when enabling CSI Tx at low temperatures (below -10°C).

init_driver():
...

start_video_stream():

// Power up MIPI D-phy
CSI MAP DPHY_PWDN_CTL 0x02


// ADI Required Write
CSI map D2 0xF7
CSI map D8 0x65
CSI map E0 0x09
CSI map 2C 0x00


// CSI Tx power-up
CSI MAP CSITX_PWRDN 0x00

stop_video_stream():

// Power up MIPI D-phy
CSI MAP DPHY_PWDN_CTL 0x03


// CSI Tx power-up
CSI MAP CSITX_PWRDN 0x80


At normal temperatures, the above sequence works as expected(adv7281_working_case.png). In this case, the CSI Rx detects the clock start, and the scope shows proper transitions: CLK inactive -> CLK LP -> CLK HS.



At temperatures below -10°C, the same sequence fails. The CSI Rx does not detect the clock start and The scope shows a transition from CLK inactive -> CLK HS but skips the CLK LP state. (adv7281_error_case.png)



Then we have discovered that the following sequence works even if low temperature.

init_driver():
...
// Power up MIPI D-phy
CSI MAP DPHY_PWDN_CTL 0x02


// ADI Required Write
CSI map D2 0xF7
CSI map D8 0x65
CSI map E0 0x09
CSI map 2C 0x00

start_video_stream():
// CSI Tx power-up
CSI MAP CSITX_PWRDN 0x00

stop_video_stream():
// CSI Tx power-up
CSI MAP CSITX_PWRDN 0x80

The key difference here is that there is a delay between init_driver() and start_video_stream().

During this delay, the scope shows the clock transitioning from CLK inactive -> CLK LP. When start_video_stream() is executed, the CSI Rx detects the clock start, and the scope shows the transition from CLK LP -> CLK HS.

Questions:

1) Is there a required time delay between MIPI D-PHY power-up and CSI Tx power-up to ensure proper clock signal transitions?
2) Could you please help us understand why this issue becomes visible at lower temperatures?
3) We have performed the following ADI-recommended writes after MIPI D-PHY power-up:


CSI MAP D2 0xF7
CSI MAP D8 0x65
CSI MAP E0 0x09
CSI MAP 2C 0x00


Unfortunately, the "ADV7281 Hardware Reference Manual UG-637" does not provide details on these registers. Could you provide information on their purpose and functionality?
