I2S Electrical Validation, Audio and Protocol Decode Software

I2S Electrical Validation, Audio and Protocol Decode Software

I2S Electrical Validation and Protocol Decode Software offers electrical measurements compliance testing and protocol decoding as specified in the I2S specification. PGY-I2S Electrical validation and Protocol decode software runs in Tektronix Oscilloscope and provides electrical measurements and protocol decode at the click of a button. This allows engineers quickly check for I2S compliance and flexibility to debug the failure. In addition to this engineers can decode the command and response of I2S to debug the communication. PGY-I2S takes advantage of digital channels of MSO and provides the decoding of I2S data lines.

Compliance with a wide range of automated electrical measurements to the I2S standard helps you to address the physical layer interoperability problems.

The industry’s first and best Penta Monitor (Spectrogram monitor, Audio monitor, Signal monitor, Protocol monitor, and Eye diagram monitor) offers a single window to examine and analyze the I2S data in different domains.

I2S Electrical Validation, Audio and Protocol Decode Software

Spectral Monitor provides a deep insight into the transient audio behaviors in the design which are very hard to find in time-domain audio waveforms.

Audio Monitor provides a way to visually inspect the transmitted audio and play the sound.

The Protocol Monitor provides the left and right channel data listing and timing concerning trigger position.

The Signal Monitor provides insight into the transmitted I2S signals along with bus diagrams and overlaid decoded data.

Eye Diagram Monitor helps to understand the system performance, channel imperfections, and clock-to-data skew.

Penta Monitor along with the system utilities such as zoom, pan, un-do, fit to screen, cursors, and audio play provides flexibility to the design and debug engineers to identify the problem areas quicker.

PGY-I2S software’s in-built automated report generator offers a very flexible report generation capability that helps to communicate the test reports effectively between fellow team members and management.

PGY-I2S Electrical, Audio, and Protocol Testing software combined with a Tektronix oscilloscope provide a single tool to debug and validate the I2S digital audio physical and protocol layers.

There are no standard measurement limits defined for SPI Bus for pass/fail tests. The limits are varying in nature depending on the SPI Bus speed. In order to characterize and validate SPI signals PGYSPI software provides a graphical measurement reference level setup to set the measurement reference level of SPI signals. These limits are automatically applied while making selected SPI measurements in PGY-SPI software and reduce test time by offering reliable measurements.
