Scopes decode MIPI UniPro and LLI protocols

Staff - December 4, 2012

Two software applications for Agilent’s Infiniium 90000 Q-Series of oscilloscopes enable design engineers to validate and debug their embedded MIPI UniPro (Unified Protocol) and LLI (Low Latency Interface) connections. Both of the MIPI protocols are high-speed interfaces for connecting integrated circuits and other electronic components in mobile devices.

The N8808A and N8809A applications decode the MIPI Alliance’s UniPro v1.41 and LLI v1.0 specifications, respectively. They support MIPI M-PHY Gear-3 speeds of up to 5.8 Gbps, which these protocols use for their electrical layers. Software features include:

• Protocol-decoding information correlated with the analog waveforms;
• Symbol, packet, frame, and payload details of each protocol;
• High-speed (HS-Burst) and low-speed pulse width modulation (PWM-Burst) transmission modes;
• Cyclical redundancy check on packets; and
• Search capability for frames, sequences, and errors.

Used together with Agilent’s N2809A PrecisionProbe software for the 90000 Q-Series oscilloscope, these two new decoders give engineers greater confidence in their MIPI UniPro and LLI product performance, while increasing their design margins. The company’s U7249A transmitter conformance software package is also available for electrical validation of the MIPI M-PHY physical layer.

The N8808A UniPro and N8809A LLI protocol-decoding applications are each available now for $2,500.
