UFS 3.0, UniPro 1.8 and M-PHY 4.1 Now Supported with the Protocol Insight Falcon G400 Analyzer and G450 Exerciser/Analyzer
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (PRWEB) April 05, 2018 -- Protocol Insight is now shipping the Falcon G400 UFS 3.0/UniPro 1.8 protocol Analyzer and the G450 Exerciser/Analyzer. The G400 protocol analyzer can capture and analyze JEDEC UFS 3.0 traffic on MIPI UniPro 1.8 and MIPI M-PHY HS-G4B x2 links, and the G450 exerciser/analyzer also generates UFS 3.0 traffic on UniPro 1.8 and HS-G4B x2 links.
The Falcon G400 series supports MIPI M-PHY events including Burst, Hibern8, Line-Reset, Prepare, Sleep, and Stall. It also supports MIPI UniPro L1.5 PA Layer events including skips and fillers, SoB and EoB, TRGs and PACPs, and L2 Data Link Layer and JEDEC UFS events.
“Initial UFS 3.0 silicon incorporating UniPro 1.8 is being turned on now by industry leaders,” said Ross Nelson, general manager, Protocol Insight. “With the availability of the Falcon G400 series, the ecosystem is now fully equipped with the critical tools needed to debug and characterize UFS 3.0 and UniPro 1.8.”
Protocol Insight’s unique Trace Validation expert system included with the Falcon series automatically analyzes UFS 3.0 and UniPro 1.8 link traffic for common debug issues such as UniPro Link Startup Sequence and Power Mode Change failures. The G450 Exerciser/Analyzer also supports stress testing, margin and corner case testing, and compliance testing of both UFS and UniPro.
“Designers implementing the latest JEDEC UFS 3.0 flash storage interface into advanced SoCs require a full-featured protocol test system,” said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP at Synopsys. “The combination of Synopsys’ DesignWare® MIPI M-PHY 4.1 IP and Protocol Insight’s Falcon G400 analyzer enables customers to test and debug their silicon thoroughly so they can bring their products to the market quickly and with less risk.”
