Effortless Digital Interface Compliance Testing

Watch the on-demand session of our webinar on "Effortless Digital Interface Compliance Testing"

Overview

With a growing market, semiconductor chips are becoming more intelligent—which also seeds the evolution of digital communication interfaces. MIPI is driving the initiatives on defining industry interface specifications to create a state-of-the-art, innovative, connected device. With continuous evolution, the digital interfaces are becoming more and more complex, equivalently increasing the cost of validating the digital interface compliance.

Typically, validation teams must go far beyond functional digital interface compliance checks and validate against full parametric, functional, voltage, and timing characteristics, even in worst-case scenarios. Researching the protocol standards, designing appropriate measurement IP to test them, developing an appropriate user interface, and reporting require a lot of effort. As a result, many in-house protocol validation tools often end up being slow, expensive, and difficult to maintain.

Join our free, one-hour webinar on January 12, 2022, to explore how our Protocol Validation solution on ATE-class high-performance PXI digital instrumentation helps in validating MIPI I3C®, I2C, MIPI SPMI℠, MIPI RFFE℠, SPI, and other digital protocols. Watch a live demonstration of the I3C Target Validation Tool, which follows the same workflow and steps as other protocols.
