USB 3.0 is a new revision of the standard driven by USB Implementers Forum Inc (USB-IF).
Computer and consumer electronics companies are competing to produce and launch faster and more-advanced devices to meet consumers’ demands. Without meeting the latest USB, DDR, PCI Express or SATA requirements, they will not succeed. Agilent is enabling these companies to comply with measurement standards as they design the latest and greatest life-style electronics.
Agilent offers a USB 3.0 test solution for transmitter and receiver test, comprised of a DSA91304A Infiniium oscilloscope, a pattern checker and pattern generator based on the J-BERT N4903A/B high-performance serial BERT, an N5181A MXG RF analog signal generator, 81150A pulse function arbitrary noise generator and the N5990A test automation software platform.
Our USB transmitter and receiver test products provide the most flexible, comprehensive solution for design, characterization and debug, as well as compliance testing, said Jim Choate, USB program manager with Agilent’s Digital Test Division. It’s important to provide not only the tools for USB 3.0 compliance test, but the test capability to support the design engineer through the entire USB development cycle, including margin test and characterization. Without automated USB pattern generator calibration, the latter are not possible.
Benefits of Agilent’s USB transmitter and receiver test solution include:
Comprehensive transmitter and receiver design and characterization test capability;
Investment protection due to signal generation and analysis capability for the bus standards USB, PCI Express, SATA and DisplayPort testing; and
Easy, fast compliance testing.
In March and April 2009, Agilent is holding a series of USB seminars in Asia, including Taipei and Hsinchu, Taiwan, and Seoul, Korea.
Agilent is a US-based provider of bio-analytical and electronic measurement solutions.
