Agilent Technologies Inc has
announced the industry's first
MIPI M-PHY compliance test
software package for transmitter
validation.
Agilent's U7249A software, designed
to run on the company's Infiniium
90000 Series oscilloscopes, provides a
wide range of tests to meet the physicallayer
requirements of the MIPI
Alliance's M-PHY Specification v1.00
and M-PHY Conformance Test Suite
v0.65. The software supports M-PHY
speeds of up to 5.8 Gbps and will enable
R&D design teams to address their
start-up debug and validation needs.
The new compliance test software
provides design and validation
engineers with a fast, easy way to
validate and debug embedded M-PHY
data links. The software supports:
- A wide range of tests to meet MIPI
Alliance's M-PHY Specification v1.00
and M-PHY Conformance Test Suite
v0.65
- M-PHY testing for Gear 1, 2 and 3
speeds of up to 5.8 Gbps
- Electrical tests for DigRF v4, UniPro
and LLI protocols, which runs M-PHY
physical layer.
- Automated scope measurement setup
and programming for increased
accuracy and repeatability in test
results
- Automated margin analysis and
pass/fail conformance reporting
Agilent's U7249A MIPI M-PHY runs
on the Infiniium 90000 X-Series
oscilloscope, which delivers industryleading,
real-time bandwidth of up to 33
GHz with the only available 30-GHz
probing system. With the lowest noise
and lowest jitter measurement floor
performance, the scope ensures superior
measurement accuracy. Used together
with N2809A PrecisionProbe software,
the 90000 X-Series oscilloscope gives
engineers increased confidence in their
MIPI M-PHY product performance and
increases design margins.
Accurate and automated MIPI MPHY
receiver testing is also supported
by Agilent's high-performance BERTs
ParBERT 81250A for multi-lane and JBERT
N4903B for single-lane testing.
Although the MIPI M-PHY receiver test
specifications are not yet final, both
BERTs will be usable for accurate
receiver tolerance testing together with
N5181/2A, E4438C, 81150A signal
generators.
Agilent's N5990A-165 MIPI M-PHY/
DigRF v4 receiver test automation
software saves significant R&D
engineering time by automatically
calibrating stress conditions and
performing automated receiver
tolerance tests by controlling all test
equipment in the setup.
