PX2816B Protocol Exerciser

Acute PX2816B Protocol Exerciser

Protocol Exercising. Advanced I3C Validation.

The Acute PX2816B Protocol Exerciser is a powerful platform for protocol simulation, generation, analysis and validation. It supports configurable Controller and Target devices, allowing engineers to reproduce real-world communication scenarios and perform detailed MIPI I3C and I²C testing.

Key Features
  • Controller & Target Simulation: Configure protocol nodes as Controller, MIPI I3C Target, I²C Legacy Target or Stress-Test Node for flexible protocol validation.
  • Advanced I3C Protocol Testing: Supports I3C Controller/Target operation, HDR-DDR, Hot-Join, IBI, custom packets, CCC commands and multi-step packet scripts.
  • Error Injection & Python Automation: Inject I3C protocol errors including CRC, Preamble and abnormal SDR packets, while the Python Automation API enables automated test development and topology configuration.
