Protocol Validation Suite

MIPI SoundWire® Protocol Validation Suite & Services

Simple. Fast. Reliable.

Product Details

The SoundWire® interface is used to transport data related to audio functions. The SoundWire® interface addresses a wide range of system scenarios where up to eleven peripheral interfaces share the common bus. SoundWire® also facilitates the development of low-cost, efficient, and high-performance systems. ​

As a part of product validation, it is essential to validate the product’s conformance against the protocol specification to ensure its interoperability. 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 traditionally requires a lot of time and effort.  ​

Soliton’s SoundWire® Protocol Validation Tool is an off-the-shelf validation tool using NI’s PXI Platform, which helps to validate the device’s compliance with the timing and electrical specifications of the SoundWire® protocol. The tool SoundWire® also validates the device’s tolerance to and recovery from a variety of SoundWire® faults & exceptions and provides a comprehensive set of reports. ​
