Tektronix Adds MIPI Support to DPO7000 Series Oscilloscopes

(Product News, 30 Oct 2009)

Tektronix Inc. has announced a series of enhancements to its popular DPO7000 Series Oscilloscopes, including support for the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) D-PHY standard and UART/RS-232 protocol analysis software. Additionally, the DPO7000 Series now includes four passive probes and three analysis tools as part of standard configurations.

The MIPI D-PHY specification is gaining in use by manufacturers of wireless mobile devices as the communications bus across main components such as embedded controllers, cameras and displays. The specification helps device manufacturers reduce time-to-market and device integration costs while taking advantage of richer feature sets with higher bit rates. By offering D-PHY characterization, compliance testing and debug in the DPO7000 Series, Tektronix delivers new and expanded test solutions for more efficiently implementing designs that include this important bus.
