D9020USBC USB 3.2 Transmitter Compliance Test Application Software

Data Sheets

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. USB 3.2 compliance test application provides a fast and easy way to test, debug and characterize your USB 3.2 Gen 1, Gen 2, x1, and x2 designs. The tests performed by the D9020USBC software is based on the USB-IF Compliance Test Specifications (CTS). In addition, the application features Characterization mode, which goes beyond compliance and enables capabilities like embedding your own loss channels and using custom equalization. The test application offers a user-friendly setup wizard and a comprehensive report that includes margin analysis. In addition to the automated compliance testing, there is also a Configuration menu that allows customized setups including different LFPS levels and jitter setups.

Features

  • Setup wizard for quick setup, configuration and test selection
  • Gen 1 (5 Gbps)) or Gen 2 (10 Gbps) testing, including x2 mode
  • Tests for component/embedded retimers, redrivers, and active cables
  • Results consistent with USB-IF SigTest software utility
  • USB Type-C interface control with N7018A Type-C Test Controller
  • Automated scope measurement setup
  • Test results report generation
  • Pass/fail margin analysis
  • Test framework that reports multi trial results with full array of statistics for each measurement with worst case measurement result.

Comprehensive Test Coverage

The USB 3.2 compliance test application automatically configures the oscilloscope for each test and provides results which includes margin and statistical analysis. The test coverage includes electrical, timing and eye diagram tests as stated in the USB 3.2 specification and the CTS. The signal is optimized for most accurate test result and measurement repeatability. If you discover a problem with your device, the Characterization mode features are available to aid in root-cause analysis.

Determining the proper compliance loss channel can be complicated. The USB 3.2 compliance test application automatically embeds the compliant channel depending on your test configuration.

One of the biggest challenges with testing USB 3.2 is getting the product to output the correct compliance test pattern. The Keysight automated test framework allows you to pick from a variety of generators that are automatically controlled by the application to output the precise compliance pattern.

Easy Test Definition

The test application enhances the usability of Keysight Infiniium oscilloscopes for testing USB 3.2 products. The Keysight automated test framework guides you quickly through the steps required to define the setup, perform the tests and view the test results. You can select a category of tests or select an individual test. The user interface is designed to minimize unnecessary reconnections, which will help save test time and minimize potential operator error. You can save the tests and configurations as project files and recall them for quick testing and review previous results. You can also run the compliance test with saved waveform files from the oscilloscope or the ADS simulation tool on your PC, freeing the oscilloscope for other data acquisition purposes.

Configurability and Guided Connection

The USB 3.2 compliance test application provides flexibility in your test setup. Once you have configured the tests, the connection page will display the connection diagram for the test you have selected.

You can also specify the number of test trials and only stop running selected tests when the stop condition is met. The application will save the worst-case test result to help you track down the anomalies in your signals.

The configuration menu allow customized test setups specific to your product.

Comprehensive Result Analysis

In addition to providing you with measurement results, the compliance test application reports how close your test results are to the specified test limit. You can specify the level at which warnings are to be issued. You are provided a full array of statistics for each measurement.

Thorough Performance Reporting

The USB 3.2 compliance test application generates HTML reports that captures the performance, status and margins of your device under test. It also captures screenshots of critical measurements of your reference and documentation. This report is suitable for printing and sharing with your test vendors, customers and suppliers.
