Simplifying Digital Protocol Analysis
Semiconductor validation engineers face a challenging job with digital communication validation, which includes analyzing the digital protocols, interpreting the message, and verifying that it meets the needs using a logic analyzer or an oscilloscope. In addition to the manual work, it also requires a very strong understanding of the digital protocol. These tasks can become very time consuming and prone to human analysis error. To be more efficient and accurate, we need:
Simplified solution to interpret digital protocol waveforms and messages
Automated electrical parameters measurement to help validate signal quality and reliability
Easy-to-use interface for interactive tasks and automation
Ability to perform analysis without having to use a specialized, expensive oscilloscope
Protocol Analyzer and Decoder
Easily verify semiconductor device communication in a system with Protocol Analyzer Software for MIPI I3C and Protocol Analyzer Software for I2C, run with InstrumentStudio software
Leverage NI’s high-performance PXI Oscilloscope to measure electrical parameters
Quickly decode and annotate the captured protocol waveform
Seamlessly integrate with Semiconductor Device Control for interactive register read and write operations
Automation with APIs using TestStand sequencing
