Testmetrix will demonstrate its HDK in Arasan's booth during the Demo Day event 
at the MIPI Member Meeting this week in Vancouver, British Columbia. Arasan 
will also display its C-PHY v2.0 and D-PHY v2.5 ASIC.

Arasan's C-PHY 2.0, D-PHY v2.5, CSI-2 and DSI-2 IP join Arasan's illustrious 
line of IP previously used for Compliance Testing like its SDIO Device IP, 
SD/SDIO Host IP, UFS 2.1, 3.0 & 4.0 IP, M-PHY DFE and the MIPI CSI-2, DSI, 
C-PHY v1.1 and D-PHY v1.2 IP that were used in the industry's first C-PHY 
compliance tester. That product was based on Arasan's C/D-PHY combo ASIC 
supporting 2.5gsps.

"As a Contributor member of MIPI Alliance since 2006, Arasan has been a 
longtime partner in promoting the adoption of MIPI specifications," said Sanjiv 
Desai, chair of MIPI Alliance. "We are happy to see this HDK and Compliance 
Test Platform from Testmetrix based on Arasan's ASIC, which will support 
compliance efforts within the MIPI ecosystem and help further accelerate the 
adoption of MIPI specifications." 

"Arasan is extremely proud of the launch of the Testmetrix HDK and Compliance 
Test Platform using Arasan's C/D-PHY Combo ASIC. Use of our IP in a compliance 
tester demonstrates the quality of our IP while also ensuring our IPs are 
compliant, and stay compliant as the standards evolve," said Prakash Kamath, 
CTO at Arasan.

"Testmetrix is pleased to announce the release of the C-PHY v2.0 / D-PHY v2.5 
Combo HDK and Compliance Test Platform in partnership with Arasan Chip Systems, 
which will contribute to the acceleration of the acceptance of the new MIPI 
standards," said Christian Cojocneanu, CEO of Testmetrix.
