Introduction

Serial buses are pervasive in today’s digital designs and are used for a variety of purposes including on-

board chip-to-chip communication, CPU to peripheral control, as well as for remote sensor data transfer

and control.

Without intelligent oscilloscope serial bus triggering and protocol decode, it can be difficult to debug

these buses and correlate data transfers with other mixed signal interactions in your system. Keysight

Technologies, Inc. InfiniiVision X-Series oscilloscopes (DSOs) and mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs) offer

optional integrated serial bus triggering and hardware-based protocol decoding solutions that give you the

tools you need to accelerate debug of your designs that include serial bus communication.
