Keep Up with the Latest Standards
The new Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 standards were designed to take advantage of the higher bandwidth, larger storage, and faster data rates of next generation product designs. But these technical improvements create a number of validation and compliance testing challenges:
- Complex jitter decomposition
- Backward compatibility
- Debugging physical and protocol layers
Keeping pace with the next generation of data rates and upcoming standards requires end-to-end solutions that can help engineers design, validate and debug their products.
Tektronix’s Thunderbolt testing solution is designed to be both comprehensive and adaptable to your unique projects. Our hardware enables accurate, repeatable measurements you can rely on, and our automated software reduces test time and complexity by handling setup and calibration.
