1 DPhy v1.2 Decoder MIPI 2.5Gb/s Protocol Decoder Hardware DataSheet User Manual June 2015 - Rev 1.0 2 MIPI DPhy Decoder 1.0 General: The MIPI DPhy v1.2 Decoder (DPhyDkd) is the hardware probe that supports MIPI DPhy signal acquisition with protocol decode occuring on a host Windows PC. Users familiar with the predecessor product “DphyDecoder” will note a nearly complete overlap of function and look and feel. The DPhyDkd supports: ? sophisticated real-time triggering ? “Rx” mode and “Sniff” mode ? real-time status monitoring ? activity statistics ? status LED indicators ? “Sniff” mode: active probes, solder-down, for minimal loading of the device under test. ? “Rx” mode includes internal active termination and SMA connectors ? USB 3.0 for fast data transfer The control and decode software that is provided with DPhyDkd (DPhyDecoderCtl) interfaces to the hardware and provides the following features: ? Configuration control ? Disassembly of the captured information in a logic analyzer-like format. ? Reassembly and display of any video information captured ? Storage of captured video frame(s) to a file(s). Refer to the DPhyDecoderCtl document for a detailed treatment of all the software features. DPhyDkd support up to 4 data lanes and 1 clock lane. Data rate operation up to 2.5 Gb/s per lane is supported. Connection to the DUT is via 5 active solder-down probes (supplied), one per lane or via SMA for Rx mode. Power for the DPhyDkd comes from an external desktop universal power supply. It also features a “Trigger” output on an SMA connector that can drive into a 50 ohm termination. Configuration and control and PC acquisition of the captured data from the DPhyDkd is via a USB 3.0 connection to the PC-based software application DPhyDecoderCtl. Refer to the DPhyDecoderCtl manual for the details of operating this software. 3 2.0 Requirements: ? The DPhyDkd must be connecte
