D9110MPLP LowSpeed MIPI Protocol Decode/Trigger Software (RFFE, I3C, SPMI) for Infiniium Oscilloscopes

Protocol Decode and Trigger Benefits

• Set up your oscilloscope to show MIPI RFFE, I3C, and SMPI protocol decodes in less than 30 seconds
• Get access to a rich set of integrated software-based protocol-level triggers
• Use time-correlated views to quickly troubleshoot serial protocol problems back to their timing or signal integrity root cause

D9110MPLP Specific Capabilities

• Supports RFEE specification v1.10, v2.0, and v2.1
• Supports I3C SDR, HDR-DDR, and legacy I2C standard, fast, and fast+ modes
• Supports SPMI specification v1.0 and v2.0, as well as 8 GSID sets

MIPI RFFE Protocol Decode

The MIPI Alliance Specification for RF Front-End Control Interface (RFFE) was developed to offer a common and widespread method for controlling RF front-end devices. There are a variety of front-end devices, including Power Amplifiers (PA), Low-Noise Amplifiers (LNA), filters, switches, power management modules, antenna tuners, and sensors. RFFE is mainly an RF front-end-dedicated control interface. RFFE supports point-to-multipoint connectivity RF front-end control. RFFE utilizes a relatively high bus clock frequency of 26 MHz, and by the introduction of time-accurate triggering mechanisms, allows control of timing-critical functions in multiple devices.
The RFFE protocol decoder enables faster and better development of wireless mobile products that employ the RFFE technology. The protocol analysis application lets teams quickly move from the physical layer to protocol layer measurements and includes software-based triggering.

I3C and SMPI Protocol triggering and decode for Infiniium Series oscilloscopes

One of many specifications defined by MIPI Alliance, I3C (Improved Inter-Integrated Circuit) is an interface that improves upon I2C and provides backward compatibility with legacy I2C devices. I3C is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus, optimized for multiple sensor slave devices and controlled by only one I3C master device at a time. I3C supports higher speeds than I2C (12.5MHz) and supports several new high data rate (HDR) modes: HDR-DDR (Double Data Rate), HDR-TSL (Ternary Symbol Legacy), and HDR-TSL (Ternary Symbol for Pure bus). Keysight’s D9110MPLP protocol triggering and decode software application will help you see both the protocol information and waveform at the time with time-correlation between the waveform and protocol window so you can easily find issues on the protocol or physical layer.
