Overview

The MIPI System Power Management Interface, MIPI SPMI, specifies the hardware interface between baseband or application processors and peripheral components to support advanced power management techniques. The specification also reduces design costs and shortens the time to market of mobile devices by simplifying the interconnection of devices from different manufacturers. It is used in smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices.

As a part of product validation, it’s important to validate the product’s conformance against the protocol specification to ensure the interoperability of the product. As the complexity of the protocol and product increases, the validation time of the protocol interfaces also increases which in turn reduces the RTM. Performing the protocol conformance testing in the traditional way needs a lot of time and effort.  

Soliton’s SPMI Validation Suite is an off-the-shelf validation tool using NI’s PXI platform, which helps to validate the devices’ compliance with the timing and electrical specifications of the MIPI SPMI protocol. The tool can also validate the tolerance of the device to and recovery from a variety of SPMI faults & exceptions and provides a comprehensive set of reports. Users have claimed that using this automated solution for SPMI Validation has brought down the test time/ validation time from few weeks to a couple of days.
