Eclipse X34 MIPI M-PHY Protocol Analyzer
The M-PHY specification from the MIPI Alliance provides flexibility and speed for developers in the mobile computing market. The technology is aimed at next generation smart phones, tablets and other low power mobile computing devices. The M-PHY currently runs at GEARs 1/2/3 per lane in each direction, providing asymmetrical lane operation for up to 4-lane device configurations.
The Eclipse X34 can monitor, capture, decode and analyze multiple transmission modes with different bit-signaling, clocking schemes and rates that support bandwidth ranges (M-PHY Gears 1 to 3). The analyzer is gear 4 upgradable. Two independent reference clocks, Rate A and B operate at 19.2 and 26 MHz with 8B/10B, encoding can be tracked and displayed. All PMW Modes G0 to G7 are supported and displayed in the trace view. The application display is highly configurable and can be modified to most users debugging styles. A customizable multi-state trigger makes it easy to discover protocol issues on the bus. Features such as multiple local, global timers and counters allow the user advanced control to create sophisticated trigger sequences. The Eclipse can time correlate its traces to other Teledyne LeCroy supported protocols and buses. This multi-protocol support will make it useful to help debug DDR memory and other serial protocols on low power devices.
The Eclipse X34 features up to 4 lanes of traffic capture and up to 32 GB trace depth. Teledyne LeCroy will also provide a wide variety of probing connectivity options, including SMA, multi-lead solder-down tapping, a M.2 form factor interposer and a special Mid-bus probe designed for M-PHY. The M-PHY Mid-bus probe has been defined by Teledyne LeCroy and will build on the existing footprint for PCI Express giving developers another method to get probing access to M-PHY signals.
The Eclipse x34 can be connected to the host by either USB 2.0/3.0 or Ethernet 10/100/1000 LAN as standard features. By connecting over a LAN, engineers can operate the system remotely (e.g., control an analyzer operating in a remote lab). Also, engineers working collaboratively can time-share use of a single analyzer, reducing the need for multiple systems, and increasing the cost effectiveness of the product.
The Eclipse X34 is licensable to accommodate different lane, memory and gear configurations to match user requirements with available budgets. The upward compatibility and 13 month warranty of the Eclipse also provides investment protection for current Gear 1/2/3 users who plan to upgrade to Gear 4 devices in the future.
