INTRODUCTION

M-PHY enables faster data transfer rates with the help of an embedded clock, and is capable of transmitting signals both in the burst mode and in the differential mode of data transfer. Different data rates gave flexibility to operate at low speed as well as high speed and speed ranges defined in different gears enable it suit for many application . M-PHY works either with an independent clock embedded at the Transmitter and the Receiver and also supported reference clock configuration
The interface is electrical but also optical friendly and enable optical data transport inside the interconnect module. The interface can be single lane or multiple lanes gave flexibility to configure and support multiple protocol
A block diagram of a typical link is as shown below [1]:
Multiple lanes in each direction are incorporated at both Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX), which results in a link achieving the required data rate.
A LANE consists of a Single TX, RX and line that connect TX and RX using a differential wire corresponding to two signaling wires DP and DN.
M-PHY Test Specifications are defined at the PINS of the M-TX and M-RX. The transmission lines between the two points are called TX lines. A line may contain a converter for other media such as Optical fiber.

An interface based on M-PHY technology shall contain at least one LANE in each direction; there is no symmetry requirement from an M-PHY prospective.
All lanes in a signal link are called SUB links. Two sub links of opposite directions provide bi­directional transport and additional LANE management called LINK. A set of M-TX and M-RX in a device that composes one interface port is denoted as M-Port.
LINE state
Positive differential voltage driven by M-TX is denoted by LINE state DIF-P, a negative differential voltage driven by M-TX is denoted by LINE state DIF-N, and a weak zero differential voltage is maintained by M-RX.
Table1: Line State
M-TX terminates both wires with characteristic impedance during any DIF-P or DIF-N state. M­RX does not terminate the LINE and does so optionally. In case of M-RX, the option of Terminating or not terminating with characteristic impedance is interchangeable.
M-TX supports two drive strengths. When configured for Large Amplitudes (LA), it supports 400 mv PK NT (roughly 200 mVPKRT), while when configured for Small Amplitudes (SA) it will be 240 mV_NT (120mVPK-RT), Default will be large amplitude.

1. Accessing the DPOJET M-PHY Essentials Measurements

Figure 1-1: TekScope Analyze Menu
On a supported Tektronix oscilloscope TekScope menu, go to Analyze -> MIPI M-PHY Essentials, and click on it to invoke (see Figure 1-1)the M-PHY setup library in DPOJET standards tab. Figure 1-2 shows the DPOJET standards menu.
