Deep insight to help you win the race to M-PHY
The MIPI™ M-PHY standards are the backbone of next-generation
mobile computing designs. Because these designs are replacing
desktop PCs in many applications, these architectures are much
faster and more complex than in the past. The increasing demand for
bandwidth has driven the expansion of the M-PHY specification to
include four-lane, 6.0-Gbs options. The U4431A offers up to 16 GB of
analysis memory on each lane, allowing designers to capture tens of
seconds of system traffic, even at these high speeds.
In addition, the Agilent U4431A offers “Raw Mode,” a feature
that lets designers see the time-correlated 8b/10b data that
underlies each protocol. These states can be displayed as a
waveform or listing, providing insight into how a packet is
formed at the physical layer.
