Used in autonomous driving systems and in-vehicle infotainment fields
Extending to solutions such as AWG and BERTScope for receiver measurements

Tektronix announced a receiver test solution that supports D-PHY v.2.0 and C-PHY v1.1 receiver test standards.

Tektronix stated that, as a result, it is now able to simplify PHY receiver test setups for MIPI designers in fields such as autonomous driving systems or in-vehicle infotainment and further increase test execution speed through comprehensive measurement capabilities for signal quality, debugging, and margin testing.

He added that through this solution, it has become possible to expand from real-time oscilloscopes for existing transmitter measurements at the MIPI PHY stage to solutions such as AWGs (arbitrary waveform generators) and BERTScopes (bit error testers) for receiver measurements.



The MIPI Alliance standards presented challenges for developers in the receiver testing section due to complexity, increased signal speeds, various data rates and communication state modes (HS, LP, HS-LP), and compatibility requirements with older versions.

The Tektronix MIPI receiver test solution consists of DPHYXpress and CPHXpress software packages running on the AWG70000 series arbitrary waveform generator, providing quality with a maximum sampling rate of 50 GS/s and 10-bit vertical resolution.It provides.

Brian Reich, Executive Vice President of High Performance Oscilloscopes at Tektronix, stated, “In highly competitive sectors such as automotive and vehicle, engineering teams face unique challenges in launching highly differentiated solutions while meeting standards of increasing complexity. Through industry-leading signal generators and oscilloscopes supporting the latest MIPI standards, along with advanced software support, Tektronix is providing customers with the compliance testing and debugging tools necessary to meet these challenges.”
