Current flow is limited by compliance setting. Current compliance values are limited to the supported current range values. For example, if the available current ranges are 2uA, 20uA, 200uA, 2mA and 25mA, then the available compliance settings are 2uA, 20uA, 200uA, 2mA and 25mA. Figure 5: Typical Operation AEMULUS...

MIPI uses two signal lines, a clock signal (SCLK) controlled by the master, a unidirectional/bidirectional data signal (SDATA), and an I/O supply/reference voltage (VIO). The choice of SDATA attribute is based on whether a slave device is write-only, or whether it supports read/write capability. AEMULUS...
