High-speed digital interface testing, USB testing

USB – universal serial bus

System verification and debugging of USB designs

The USB interface is used to connect computers and peripheral devices. The demand for higher data rates and faster charging speed as well as the integration of Thunderbolt and DisplayPort technologies are driving standardization efforts in the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF).

Rohde & Schwarz is working closely with USB-IF to provide powerful test solutions for interface testing, PCB, cable and connector testing, and also power delivery testing. Our test solutions help you efficiently verify and debug system level designs and get your products to market faster.

Conformance Test failed

Conformance Test failed. What now?

Conformance tests are performed on serial data interfaces such as USB, HDMI and PCI Express to ensure interoperability between electronic devices and accessories. In cases where signal integrity problems are encountered, the R&S®RTP oscilloscope supports root cause analysis by providing powerful tools such as eye diagrams, jitter and noise separation as well as time domain reflectometry.
