11 | Keysight | U7238C and U7238D MIPI D-PHY Conformance Test Software - Data Sheet
Measurement Requirements
To use the D-PHY conformance software you will need a Keysight Infiniium Series oscilloscope
with at least 4 GHz of analog, real-time bandwidth. In order to use the D-PHY conformance
test software, your product will need to be able to source the necessary low-power (LP) to
high-speed (HS) data transitions needed to perform the testing.
Tests Performed
The D-PHY conformance software performs the following tests as per MIPI Alliance
Specification for D-PHY v1.2, section 9 and D-PHY CTS v1.2, section 1.
