The Keysight U4421A MIPI D-PHY Protocol Analyzer/Exerciser is an AXIe-based module for testing, analysis, and debugging of MIPI D-PHY interfaces used in CSI-2 and DSI applications. It combines protocol analysis and traffic generation in a single instrument, supporting real-time data capture, protocol-level triggering, error injection, and multi-lane signal characterization. Engineers gain insight into complex multi-bus MIPI systems, resolving challenges from high-speed data bursts, multi-lane integration, and HS/LP signal switching.
– Technical Specifications
• Data Rates: Up to 1.5 Gbps per lane (2.5 Gbps per lane available)
• Trace Memory: 1 GB standard; 4 GB and 16 GB options available. User-allocable across Exerciser, Analyzer, and Raw Mode
• Channel Configuration: 1, 2, or 4 data channels plus clock lane
• Dual Mode Operation: Functions as analyzer, exerciser, or both simultaneously
