PRODUCTION DATA
During normal operation, CSI-2 transmitter output bandwidth is reduced as it needs to transition between Low-Power and High-Speed modes. The minimum CSI-2 High-Speed data transmission overhead consists of TLPX, THS-PREPARE, THS-ZERO, THS-SYNC, THS-TRAIL, and THS-EXIT as shown in Figure 6-6 . The bandwidth is further reduced when operating in Discontinuous CSI-2 Clock mode as the CSI-2 clock requires additional overhead time to transition between Low-Power and Clock Transmission modes. The minimum CSI-2 Discontinuous Clock timing overhead consists of TCLK-POST, TCLK-TRAIL, TCLK-PREPARE, TCLK-ZERO, and TCLK-PRE as shown in Figure 6-7 . The typical CSI-2 timing overhead is given in Table 7-15.
CSI-2 TX Data Rate | CSI-2 TX Overhead, tCSI_Overhead [µs] | |

1.664 Gbps | 0.73 | 1.68 |
1.6 Gbps | 0.76 | 1.74 |
1.472 Gbps | 0.83 | 1.89 |
1.2 Gbps | 0.91 | 1.92 |
800 Mbps | 0.93 | 2.06 |
400 Mbps | 1.30 | 2.65 |
For Best-Effort Round Robin, Basic Synchronized or Line-Interleaved CSI-2 Forwarding, the maximum CSI-2 bandwidth for each CSI-2 port is defined in Equation 2.
For Line-Concatenated CSI-2 Forwarding, the maximum CSI-2 output bandwidth for each CSI-2 port is defined in Equation 3.

Equations (2) and (3) only apply when all aggregated sensors have identical video parameters, including pixels, lines, and frame rates. For aggregation BW calculation in mixed-sensor aggregation applications, contact TI for additional calculator tools.
