SV6E-X: SoundWire

The SV6E-X SoundWire Multi-Purpose Protocol Exerciser from Introspect Technology is a comprehensive solution designed for developing and testing mid-frequency digital interfaces, with a focus on the MIPI SoundWire® protocol commonly used in microphone arrays, stereophonic, and surround sound systems. This compact tool combines three powerful instruments into one: a protocol exerciser, a high-resolution protocol analyzer, and a real-time oscilloscope. This integration eliminates the need for bulky test racks, enabling efficient validation and debugging of SoundWire-enabled devices and systems.

The SV6E-X offers future-proof testing by supporting multiple product generations with a single hardware investment. It also provides flexible, programmable voltage levels and I/O timing configurations to support functional stress testing and detailed characterization. Additionally, its robust scripting capabilities streamline automated verification and production screening, making it an ideal tool for both design engineers and production teams.

  • Future proof: Use a single investment in hardware to evolve protocol testing over multiple generations of product development.
  • Flexible: Programmable voltage levels and input/output timings offer true functional stress testing and characterization capabilities.
  • Automated: Scripting capability is ideal for debug tasks, verification and full‐fledged production screening of devices and system boards.

The SV6E-X is an all-inclusive solution for mid-frequency digital interface development and test. Featuring support for MIPI SoundWire®, a protocol commonly used in microphone arrays and stereophonic and surround sound, the SV6E-X module replaces racks of equipment that are typically required for I/O testing and design validation. The SV6E-X contains three instruments in one: a protocol exerciser, a protocol analyzer with fine-resolution timing analysis, and a real-time oscilloscope. As a result, the SV6E-X enables high-performance testing of SoundWire.
