It takes an interconnected network of components and interfaces to deliver seamless audio experiences. Audio interfaces such as MIPI SoundWire and SoundWire I3S (SWI3S) play a critical role in integrating compact audio peripherals into modern system designs. Technologies like microphone arrays, stereo and surround sound, and low-latency multichannel audio transfer all rely on SoundWire for efficient, high-quality performance.

To help you implement SoundWire or SWI3S in your own designs, Introspect Technology has created all-inclusive solutions for SoundWire and SWI3S development and test, providing the most advanced testing. As an all-in-one protocol analyzer, protocol exerciser, and real-time oscilloscope, our ultra-portable module replaces racks of equipment that are typically required for I/O testing and validation. Use the SV6E-X Mid-Frequency Digital Test Module to perform low-latency multichannel audio transfers, test multiple SoundWire or SWI3S peripherals, and develop advanced protocol features like bulk payload transport.
