SV3C-CPTX MIPI C-PHY Generator

The SV3C-CPTX MIPI C-PHY Generator from Introspect Technology is a compact, high-performance tool designed to provide comprehensive test capabilities for MIPI C-PHY receiver ports. With support for any-rate operation, it enables precise control of high-speed and low-power signal parameters, including per-lane voltage, common-mode levels, jitter, and skew (with <1 ps resolution).

Integrated with Introspect’s intuitive Python-based Pinetree software, the SV3C-CPTX facilitates automated physical layer testing, MIPI CTS compliance, and pattern generation for DSI and CSI-2 packets like color bars and video frames—making it ideal for stress testing and system-level validation.

  • Any-rate operation
  • Per-lane HS voltage level and common-mode control
  • Per-lane LP voltage level control
  • Per-wire skew injection with < 1 ps resolution
  • Per-lane multi-source jitter injection
  • State-of-the-art programming environment based on the highly intuitive Python language

The SV3C-CPTX MIPI C-PHY Generator is an ultra-portable, high-performance instrument that provides the most comprehensive C-PHY receiver test capabilities available on the market.

The instrument operates at a continuous range of data rates and includes analog parameter controls that enable deep insights into receiver voltage sensitivity, receiver skew and jitter tolerance for receiver stress-testing. The C-PHY Generator operates with Introspect’s easy-to-use, highly versatile software environment, Pinetree, for automated physical layer compliance test, including the MIPI CTS. Pinetree also includes pattern compiler tools that enable the generation of complete DSI or CSI-2 packets such as color bars and active image frames for system-level test.
