Clarius Compliance USB4v2 Tx Test and Debug Solution

The Tektronix USB4v2 Compliance and Debug Solution provides an easy way to validate and characterize the emerging USB4 Router-Host, USB4 Router-Device, and USB4 Hubs as per the USB4 Electrical Compliance Test Specification v2.0. Tektronix DPO70000SX ATI Oscilloscopes supports the Tektronix USB4v2 Compliance and Debug solution.

The Clarius compliance is a new-generation compliance test automation software platform that offers a range of features and benefits

• Higher asset utilization and faster test times - Disaggregated architecture to offload analysis from the oscilloscope.
• Easy workflow integration – Leverage REST API’s and SDK for faster automation.
• Integrated data management for results, reports, and waveforms in the UI, along with a dashboard view.

Key features

• Comprehensive toolset for the USB4 Gen4 (40 Gbps) verification, characterization, debugging, and compliance testing.
• The USB4v2 application is compliant with the latest USB4v2 compliance test specification.
• Tektronix PAMJET-USB4v2 plug-in assists in root cause analysis.
• Measurements use the latest sigtest tool.
• Supports de-embedding, embedding, and custom channel characterizations.
• Signal validation feature validates the compliance pattern to ensure the accuracy of the results.
• Pre-recorded mode supports the offline analysis and baseline for future specification changes.
• DUT Automation supports the Wilder Technologies USB4v2 Controller and USB4v2 Electrical Test Tool (ETT).

USB4 transmitter test applications

• USB4v2 Silicon Testing: Host, Device, and Hub
• USB4v2 Peripheral Testing: Host, Device, and Hub
• Manufacturing testing

USB4v2 Gen4 enables data transfer rates of up to 40 Gbps through PAM3 signaling, which transmits 11 bits for every seven symbols at a symbol rate of 25.6 GBaud/sec. USB4v2 has the following modes.

PAMJET for USB4v2

Tektronix created a next-generation PAM tool named PAMJET, which is used for USB4v2 measurement. The PAMJET tool can configure the measurement and perform Bessel Thompson filtering, configure clock recovery, configure CTLE, and report the results. These built-in functions are specifically designed to aid USB4v2 testing.
