COMPREHENSIVE DEBUG AND COMPLIANCE
Successful development of new USB 3.1 products requires a coordinated end-to-end test program to cover all aspects
of the USB 3.1 design. For transmitter testing it is essential to verify eye diagrams, jitter, and other performance
measurements. Receiver testing plays a vital role in ensuring reliable data transfer. When designing reliable channels,
cables and connectors it is critical to perform S-parameter and TDR testing. Finally, no design is complete without
verifying the protocol layer to ensure functionality and compliance to USB 3.1 requirements.
