World's first HSIC compliance test software for real time oscilloscopes

1 min read

Agilent Technologies has released what it claims to be the industry's first High Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) compliance test software for real time oscilloscopes.

According to Agilent, the U7248A software automatically tests HSIC signals according to HSIC specifications, the first electrical compliance test solution of its kind. And, says the company, in conjunction with Agilent's N5464B USB protocol triggering and decoding software, the new software provides industry leading debug and test capabilities that enable HSIC product developers to validate HSIC electrical and protocol compliance. HSIC digital buses enable designers to use USB technology for low power, chip to chip interconnects at speeds up to 480MB/sec. The technology is designed to reduce the complexity, cost and power consumption of electronic devices and lower manufacturing risks. The compliance test software includes a full suite of HSIC physical layer tests, including: Data eye and mask testing; Rise and fall time measurements; Packet parameters; and Bus state timing measurements. It is compatible with Agilent's 90000X, 90000 and 9000 Series Infiniium oscilloscopes with operating software revision 3.10 or higher.
