The MIPI Interface Challenge

 

Accurate, Repeatable MIPI Measurements

MIPI interfaces continue to transform the user experience in mobile devices
with increased resolution in video, display and camera applications.

The specifications for Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) continue to scale
higher data rates at low power and low electromagnetic interference (EMI), bringing
a revolution in mobile devices, automotive, health care wearables, IoT etc.

Our solutions are designed for conformance to specifications from MIPI.org.
The automated software qualifies your DUT accurately, reliably and with
repeatable measurements at reduced test times.

MIPI M-PHY Transmitter Conformance Testing

M-PHY provides a rich experience on mobile devices enabling chip-to-chip processor communications at very high speeds.

M-PHY conformance requires testing various parameters including the complex jitter
inherent to high-speed interfaces. The TekExpress M-PHY conformance solution
supports automated testing based on the latest M-PHY specification for Gear1 to Gear5.

Tektronix TekExpress M-PHY TX Gear5 solution works on DPO70000 DX and SX
oscilloscopes having a bandwidth greater than or equal to 33 GHz.

  • Supports up to 23.296 Gbps
  • 100% test coverage of M-PHY TX G1 to G5
  • Automated execution of transmitter tests for faster time to market
  • UFS4.0 reference clock measurements
  • Embed/De-embed filter files for mid bus probing

MIPI Protocol Decoders

DSI/CSI – Display Serial Interface (DSI)/ Camera Serial Interface (CSI) decodes the
protocol on the data interface between a host processor and peripheral such as a display module in a mobile device.

SPMI – Decodes the data between the application processors and peripheral components
to support advanced power management techniques.

I3C – Decoder for the protocol running on sensor communication channels in mobile devices. The protocol decoders make for a must-have on the oscilloscope to debug the MIPI
protocol layer.
