USB4 Receiver Test Application Help 9

Welcome

The USB4 Rx application performs the test as per the Gen 2 / Gen 3 USB4 Electrical CTS Revision 1.02.

Welcome

Figure 1: TekRxTest - USB4 Gen 2 / Gen 3 Rx application

Key features and benefits

• Calibration and Compliance Testing comes as a part of the receiver solution.

• Automated Calibration procedure is handy along with the ability to reload and rerun older Calibration files.

• Receiver BER, Signal Frequency Variations Training (SFVT), Jitter Tolerance (JTOL), and Sensitivity test for the DUT using the Electrical Testing Tool (ETT) from USB-IF.

• Jointly with Anritsu BERT MP1900A series, the receiver solution provides the tools and flexibility required to visualize and control the impairments, observe real-time eye performance for USB4 devices at 10 and 20 Gbps .

• The solution showcases the eye diagram at TP3’ and TP3 endpoints.

• Reliable and accurate results reduce the test execution time and minimize the skillset required to perform calibration and testing.

• Available tests can be run at TP3’ (Case 1) and TP3 (Case 2) test points and come with crosstalk feature.

• Detailed reports are at one’s disposal for all calibration and test modules.

Getting started

USB4 Receiver Test Application Help 13

Operating basics

Launch the application

To launch the USB4 Gen 2 / Gen 3 TekRxTest application, click the shortcut icon TekRxTest on the desktop and select USB4 Gen 2 / Gen 3 in the application window.

Close the application

To exit the application, click on the application title bar. Follow on-screen instructions to save the unsaved session or test setup.

Using other methods to exit the application may result in abnormal termination of the application.

Note:

Launch Real-Time Oscilloscope

The TekVISA Socket Server application on the oscilloscope provides the necessary connectivity between the TekRxTest application and scope. Although it is launched in the background when the scope boots up and the socket is initialized for communication, it is recommended to verify the status by clicking on the Desktop Tray ―› TekVISA LAN Server Control as shown in the image below. If it is ready to exchange data, then a wizard would appear as in the below image.

USB4 Receiver Test Application Help 14

Figure 2: Launch Real-Time Oscilloscope

Note: In the unlikely event when the socket is not initialized, the process can be started by clicking on “Start Socket Server” which gets enabled during such a scenario.

Operating basics

Launch TekRxService

The USB4 Gen 2 / Gen 3 TekRxTest application interfaces with the oscilloscope for data acquisition, analysis, and data retrieval utilizing TekRxService application. TekRxService should be launched from the oscilloscope before initiating a connection between the oscilloscope and TekRxTest application.

2 or Gen 3) , the run calibration reports for the selected generation will be populated in the results table. When you click on wizard will be launched for the selected generation. This wizard will guide you through the sequential procedure to perform the calibration.

During this process, the TekRxTest application calibrates the following items:

1. AC-DC Balance: The subsequent calibration modules assume the high and low frequency portions of the waveform to be of equal amplitude which is accomplished through AC – DC Balance.

2. Eye Height Calibration: A nominal differential amplitude of 700 mV is calibrated to be used in other calibration modules.

3. Preset Calibration: The various predefined Preshoot and De-emphasis levels are required to be calibrated within a tolerance.

4. DDJ Calibration: The preset with the least data dependent jitter is found and used in further modules.

5. ACCM Calibration: The AC Common Mode Interference is required to be calibrated to 100 mVp-p at a frequency of 400 MHz.

6. RJ Calibration: The Random Jitter is to be calibrated to a nominal value of 0.14 UI p-p.

7. PJ Calibration: The periodic jitter at frequencies of 1, 2, 10, 50 and 100 MHz is calibrated to a nominal value of 0.17 UI p-p.

8. TJ Calibration: The Total Jitter at the predefined frequencies of 1, 2, 10, 50 and 100 MHz is calibrated be in the range of 0.3375 –

0.3625 UI p-p (Gen2 – 10 Gbps) and 0.355 – 0.405 UI p-p (Gen3 – 20 Gbps) .

9. Input Eye Diagram: In this step of calibration, it is ensured that the signal, with all the calibrated stresses, meets the Eye Height (700 mV for both Gen2 and Gen3) and Eye Width (0.175-0.825 UI for Gen2 and 0.19-0.81 UI for Gen3) requirements for 1, 2, 10, 50 and 100 MHz with the help of a predefined mask, ensuring that there are no mask hits.

TP3 Calibration

The TP3 Calibration panel allows you to perform calibration at the TP3 endpoint for Gen 2 and Gen 3 and save the results.

TP3 Calibration Procedure

Click on TP3 under the Calibrations tab to view the previously run calibration reports. At this stage, you can choose the generation (Gen

2 or Gen 3), the run calibration reports for the selected generation will be populated in the results table. When you click on , the TP3 wizard will be launched for the selected generation. This wizard will guide you through the sequential procedure to perform the calibration.

During this process, the TekRxTest application calibrates the following items:

1. Insertion Loss: In this step, the channel loss between the BERT and Receptacle Fixture-2 is computed to be within the range of 18-19 dB (Gen 2) and 16-17 dB (Gen 3). The right ISI pair needs to be connected along with de-embedding the loss incurred for the phase matched cables to get the loss in the specified range.

2. CTLE Selection: The process is carried out for the frequencies of 1, 2, 10, 50 and 100 MHz where the user can choose between the CTLE indices (CTLE 0-9) and preset to be used. The optimum CTLE is chosen to give the maximum eye area. The user needs to take note that the choice of CTLE indices and number of acquisitions is only available when the configured Analysis Tool is DPOJET.

3. Stressed Eye: In the case where CTLE selection provides the eye parameters to be in range, this step can be skipped. As a part of this method, the jitter (Random Jitter for frequencies of 1, 2, 10 and 50 MHz and Periodic Jitter for 100 MHz), and amplitude are swept to attain the Eye Width of 0.555-0.605 UI (Gen 2 - ) or 0.49-0.59 UI (Gen 3 - ) and an Eye Height of 110-130 mV (Gen 2 - ) or 88-108 mV (Gen 3 - ).
