Tektronix Installed Option; Power management serial triggering and analysis (SPMI)
The Tektronix 5-SRPM is an installed option for the 5 Series MSO Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes, enabling advanced power management serial triggering and analysis for the System Power Management Interface (SPMI) protocol. This option allows users to trigger on and decode SPMI bus signals, providing detailed insight into communication between power management ICs and processors. The 5-SRPM option supports comprehensive protocol analysis, including error detection, bus activity monitoring, and event searching, which streamlines debugging and validation of SPMI-based designs. It integrates seamlessly with the oscilloscope's user interface, offering color-coded overlays and tabular data views for efficient analysis. This option is essential for engineers working with power management systems that utilize the SPMI protocol.
