PX2816B Protocol Exerciser — Protocol Exerciser
SKU: PX2816B
Base unit only — additional accessories required (see configurator below).
About the PX2816B Protocol Exerciser
The PX2816B is a multi-protocol exerciser that generates stimulus traffic on I3C, I2C, and UART buses for device validation, register verification, and compliance testing. SPI exerciser support is in development and will be delivered as a free software update.
Key Highlights
- Generate protocol traffic on MIPI I3C, I2C, and UART from a single XP-I3C pod
- SPI support in development — free software update for existing XP-I3C pods
- Error injection for fault testing and compliance validation
- Automation API for production test integration
- USB 3.0 interface, Windows 10/11
| Supported Protocols | MIPI I3C, I2C, UART (SPI in development) |
| Throughput | Up to 5 Gbps |
| Error Injection | Yes |
| Compliance Test | Yes |
| Automation | API for Python / C++ / LabVIEW |
| Interface | USB 3.0 |
Build Your Solution
The PX2816B requires the XP-I3C pod to connect to your target device. Optionally add the LA-POD(V) for logic analysis alongside the exerciser.

Your Configuration
A protocol pod is required — the PX2816B base unit cannot drive a bus without one.
