Product Details
MIPI I3C® is a scalable, medium-speed, utility, and control bus interface for connecting peripherals to an application processor, streamlining integration, and improving cost efficiencies. It gives developers unprecedented opportunities to craft innovative designs for any mobile product—from smartphones to wearables, to systems in automobiles.
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 I3C 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 I3C protocol. The tool can also validate the device’s tolerance to and recovery from a variety of I3C faults & exceptions and provides a comprehensive set of reports. Users have claimed that using this automated solution for I3C Validation has brought down the test time/ validation time from a few weeks to a couple of days.
Peek and Poke GUI for interactive debug of the I3C interface. This helps to exercise and debug the I3C communication manually. User can configure any allowed timing/voltage parameters to debug the transactions.
