Industry’s Highest Signal Integrity Type-C Fixture

Get the most accurate measurements with the best signal integrity

The N7015A Type-C high-speed test fixture provides best-in-class performance up to 30 GHz of de- embeddable bandwidth, enabling signal verification and debug of USB 3.1 Gen 2 designs and other high- speed signal standards to support the Type-C connector.

The N7015A Type-C high-speed test fixture breaks out four differential lanes of high- speed protocol signals to an oscilloscope, and passes low-speed power and control lines to a secondary fixture. The flexible fixture combination enables signal accessibility and probing to a Type-C design that has a receptacle (for example, a USB 3.1 upstream or downstream facing port).

As data rates increase, the effects of test fixtures and cabling during testing become a significant source of signal loss and impair accurate measurement of device performance. So, for accurate signal characterization in many high-speed compliance tests, de-embedding techniques are used to removing the effects of a test fixture from measurements to obtain the actual performance of the DUT. Best performance in overcoming the losses is achieved when the channel (in this case, the test fixture) is designed with minimum loss and care is taken in the characterization of the fixture through measurement of S-parameters. The N7015A is designed for the best signal integrity, and S-parameter models are available from Keysight that can be used in Keysight’s Infiniium baseline software and industry’s broadest portfolio of compliance test applications, including USB, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt.

Protect your investment with a robust and usable solution

The N7015A fixture is reversible, when used in conjunction with the N7016A, meaning the plug can be flipped 180 degrees and will still allow testing, without any damage or error. Its unique design allows two fixtures to be used side-by-side and/or top-to-bottom.

Whether connected side-by-side or stacked, the fixtures meet the minimum spacing allowed for in the specification. Durable fixture design ensures multiple connections and disconnections without failure in an active test environment.

Reduce test time with a configurable system

The N7015A Type-C fixture solution can be a fully automated power delivery management system with a third-party power delivery controller.
