A very specific and technical topic!
Alex checks the spec: (in HS mode).
The most significant "top" feature of D-PHY 2.0 is the jump in data rates. While previous versions (v1.2) topped out around 2.5 Gbps per lane, .
With v2.0, each lane operates at up to . Thus, a 4-lane D-PHY v2.0 delivers a raw aggregate of 18 Gbps. Factoring in 8b/10b encoding is not used (D-PHY relies on its own 8b/9b-like encoding for DC balance), the effective payload exceeds 16 Gbps—enough for 8K at 30 fps with room for error correction.
It is common to confuse D-PHY v2.0 with MIPI C-PHY. Here is the distinction for the "top" decision maker:
