Typical (Recommended) Configuration

QualiPHY software can be executed from the oscilloscope or a host computer. The first step is to install QualiPHY. Please refer to the QualiPHY Operator’s Manual for installation instructions.

LeCroy recommends running QualiPHY on an oscilloscope equipped with Dual Monitor Display capability (Option DMD-1 for oscilloscopes where this is not standard). This allows the waveform and measurements to be shown on the oscilloscope LCD display while the QualiPHY application and test results are displayed on a second monitor.

By default, the oscilloscope appears as a local host when QualiPHY is executed in the oscilloscope. Follow the steps under Oscilloscope Selection (as follows) and check that the IP address is 127.0.0.1.

Remote (Network) Configuration

It is also possible to install and run QualiPHY on a host computer, controlling the oscilloscope with a Network/LAN Connection.

The oscilloscope must already be configured, and an IP address (fixed or network-assigned) must already be established.

Oscilloscope Selection

Set up the oscilloscope using QualiPHY over a LAN (Local Area Network) by doing the following:

1. Make sure the host computer is connected to the same LAN as the oscilloscope. If unsure, contact

your system administrator.

2. From the oscilloscope menu, select Utilities  Utilities Setup…

3. Select the Remote tab.

4. Verify the oscilloscope has an IP address and the control is set to TCP/IP.

5. Run QualiPHY in the host computer and click the General Setup button.

6. Select the Connection tab.

7. Enter the IP address from step 4 (previous).

8. Click the Close button.

QualiPHY is now ready to control the oscilloscope.

QPHY-USB Operator’s Manual Rev F

QPHY-USB Software Option

QualiPHY tests the oscilloscope connection after clicking the Start button. The system prompts you if there is a connection problem. QualiPHY’s Scope Selector function can also be used to verify the connection. Please refer to the QualiPHY Operator’s Manual for explanations on how to use Scope Selector and other QualiPHY functions.

Accessing the QPHY-USB Software using QualiPHY

This topic provides a basic overview of QualiPHY’s capabilities. Please refer to the QualiPHY Operator’s Manual for detailed information.

Access the QPHY-USB software using the following steps:

1. Wait for the oscilloscope to start and have its main application running.

2. Launch QualiPHY from the Analysis menu if installed on the oscilloscope or from the desktop icon if installed on a host computer.

3. From the QualiPHY main window (as follows), select Standard, then USB from the pop-up menu (if not already selected). If you check the Pause on Failure box (circled) QualiPHY prompts to retry the measure whenever a test fails.

Figure 12. Example of pop-up message box

Figure 13. Example of pop-up connection diagram and dialog box

QPHY-USB Operator’s Manual Rev F

USB-IF Test Scripts

The test package uses USB-IF written test scripts specifically made to analyze test data acquired by the oscilloscope. These scripts are also released by the USB-IF as a stand-alone program called the USB Electrical Analysis Tool (USBET).

Test Bed Computer

A host computer with a USB2.0 controller card is required to place the device under test (DUT) into the necessary test modes. This computer must be running Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP, and have the USB-IF High-Speed Electrical Test Toolkit (USBHSET) installed. The instructions in the LeCroy test package prompt to execute specific functions within the USB High-Speed Electrical Test Toolkit on the host computer for various tests. Best practice is to use an external host computer, separate from the oscilloscope, as the test bed computer.

Both the USBET and the USBHSET can be downloaded from the USB-IF Web site at the following address:

http://www.usb.org/developers/tools/UU

The test package has been validated with version 1.1.0.4 of the USBHSET.

Open the HS Electrical Test Tool as follows: Windows Start Menu  Programs  USB-IF Test Suite  USB HS Electrical Toolkit  HSElectricalTestTool.

The main menu is then shown as follows.

Figure 14. USB-IF HS Electrical Test Tool main menu

Note: All USB devices are disabled when the HS Electrical Test Toolkit is started. Functionality is restored upon exiting the Test Tool menu.

This means that during this process, a USB mouse and/or keyboard are disabled.

If a USB 2.0 host is found, it appears on the list box control. If no host is found either there is no USB 2.0 host or the driver is not functioning correctly.

Note: If the USB-IF supplied HS Electrical Test Tool stops working and does not exit normally, open the Device Manager and remove all the USB hosts, devices, and hubs, and then reboot the computer.

QPHY-USB Operator’s Manual Rev F

QPHY-USB Software Option

MATLAB

Effective with X-Stream version 4.3.1, the LeCroy USB2.0 test suite requires the installation of the MATLAB Component Runtime even if there is a full installation of the MATLAB software already on the machine. The MATLAB Component Runtime can be downloaded from:

http://www.lecroy.com/goto/MatlabInstaller/UU

Note: MATLAB scripts are used to perform signal quality and inrush tests. If the MATLAB Component Runtime is not properly installed on the oscilloscope the tests requiring these scripts are disabled.

USB Test Wizard

The LeCroy USB test software (USB2) provides a test wizard which directs users through the compliance test procedure for hosts, hubs, and devices. The USB Test Wizard is activated by selecting USB2 from the Analysis menu of the oscilloscope:

The following wizard dialog page asks for Mode and Test control setup information, and then guides the user through the test. The Mode refers to the type of product being tested: Host, Hub or Device. Tests must be followed step by step. Following the instructions closely guarantees the correct operation of the test. Once a test is selected from the Test field, the instruction resets to Step 1.

• Use the Next button to proceed to the next step.

• Use the Back button to return to the previous step.

• Use the Reset button to start the selected test over again from Step 1.

In the Result File Name field, the directory in which the result file is stored can be changed by using the Browse button. The default directory is D:\Applications\USB2\Results\.

A Probe selection must be made to perform certain tests. Select the measurement method in the Probe field between Differential (to use a differential probe) and 2 Cables (to use 2 SMA cables). The 2 Cables method should be used for measuring signal quality with the TF-USB-B fixture (please refer to the Deskewing topic of this manual for more details). The Differential probe method is to support old fixtures that do not have SMA connectors. Some tests do not offer a probe selection and must use a differential probe. For those tests which use the Signal Quality sections of the test fixture with a differential probe the SMA connectors must be terminated.

Step 1 - Hooking up the USB device, host, and cables to the USB test fixture:

The captured waveform should appear as follows (shown for the device test). Cursors (dashed vertical lines in the image) must appear on either side of the packet, as shown. Use the Cursors knobs on the oscilloscope’s front panel to adjust the position of the cursors (if necessary). The waveform between the cursors is processed by the USB-IF signal quality test script to obtain an eye pattern and jitter measurements.

Note: After the device or hub upstream signal quality test is completed, the power to the device or hub must be cycled in order to stop the transmission of the test packets. The device or hub does not respond to further test commands until the power is cycled. Cycle the power by unplugging and re-plugging the USB connector and the power cord for a self-powered device or hub.

HIGH-SPEED PACKET PARAMETERS

Packet parameters represent timing measurements of the communications between host, hub, and device. USB

2.0 transmits data in bi-directional packets. The timing of these packets is critical for proper communication. The sync field at the start of the packet, the width of the EOP (end of packet), and the inter-packet timing is measured in this test.

Select Host, Hub, or Device in the Mode control and HS Packet Param in the Test control of the USB Test Wizard.

Follow the instructions in the USB Test Wizard menu to setup the test and acquire the waveform. The captured trace should look like the following image. The waveform in the center of the upper display contains three packets. The test measures the sync field and EOP width of the center packet, and two time intervals between the three packets.

HOST HIGH-SPEED CHIRP TIMING

A High-Speed USB port must also be compatible with Full-Speed operation (12 Mb/s). High-Speed operation is detected using the K and J chirp sequences. Full-Speed operation uses a higher impedance load. When a HS capable host asserts a reset, an HS capable device must respond with the Chirp K to signal HS support. The Host then responds with a Chirp J/K sequence to also signal HS support. This test measures the timing and voltages of the HS handshake. The SQ Device section of the Test Fixture is used for chirp timing measurements.

Device or Hub High-Speed Suspend Resume Reset Timing

The Suspend Resume Reset test measures the timing of the Suspend Resume and Reset actions as well as the operating voltage of the device. The voltage upon resuming high-speed operation should be between 360 mV and 440 mV. The voltage measurement is intended to verify entering High-Speed mode. The test conditions are not optimal for measuring the resume voltage, and therefore it is possible for a compliant device to have a peak-topeak voltage slightly outside this range.

RECEIVER SENSITIVITY

The receiver sensitivity is measured for devices and the upstream ports of hubs. Receiver sensitivity is measured by applying a signal from a data generator to the input of the device or hub and observing the response of the device or hub. The data generator is setup to transmit IN packets to be acknowledged by the device or hub. The sensitivity is determined by reducing the level of the signal from the data generator and observing when the DUT no longer responds. The data generator can be an arbitrary waveform generator or a pattern generator. The test procedure is as follows:

1. Make sure the TEST/INIT switch on the Test Fixture is in the INIT position. Connect the “B” socket (J10) of the “Sensitivity Receiver” section of the fixture to a High-Speed port on the Test Bed Computer. Connect the “A” socket (J11) of the “Sensitivity Receiver” section of the Test Fixture to the device under test.

2. Start the USB-IF HS Electrical Test Tool, select Device and then click Test. Click the Enumerate Bus button once to force enumeration of the newly connected device. The device under test should be enumerated with the device’s VID shown.

3. Load the “MIN_ADD1” waveform into the generator (see Appendix A for details on creating this waveform). This generates “IN” packets (of compliant amplitude) with a 12-bit SYNC field. Connect the generator to the “Sensitivity Receiver” section of the Test Fixture, using the supplied SMA cables. When connecting the outputs of the generator make sure to connect the first channel to the D+ SMA (J9) and the second channel to the D- SMA (J15).

4. Connect the differential probe from channel 1 of the oscilloscope to the differential probe header J12 of the “Sensitivity Receiver” section of the Test Fixture. Recall the HSRcvrSensitivity.lss panel file on the oscilloscope, using the File  Recall Setup menu. Use the Browse button in the “Recall Panel From File” control to select the file from the D:\Applications\USB2\Setups directory. Press the Recall Now button to select this setup file.

5. From the HS Electrical Test Tool - Device Command menu, select TEST_SE0_NAK from the Device Command drop down menu. Click EXECUTE once to place the device into TEST_SE0_NAK test mode.

Figure 46. Use Device Command drop down list of HS Electrical Test Tool

6. Place the TEST/INIT on the Test Fixture to the TEST position. This switches in the data generator in place of the host controller. The data generator emulates the “IN” packets from the host controller.

7. Verify that there is a response packet (NAK) for all packets sent from the data generator. This should appear as a sequence of two packets with a small gap between them followed by a larger gap as shown in the figure below. The first packet is the data generator output and the second packet is the NAK from the device or hub under test. If there is a response for every packet sent by the generator than the device or hub passes EL_18.

Figure 47. Response to IN tokens with 12-bit sync - all packets NAK’d

QPHY-USB Operator’s Manual Rev F

8. Now load the “IN_ADD1” waveform into the generator (see Appendix A for details). The generator amplitude should be set to the 400 mV. This generates IN tokens with a full 32 bit sync and nominal amplitude.

9. Verify that there is a response packet (NAK) for all packets sent from the data generator, as in step 7.

10. Reduce the amplitude of the data generator packets in small steps while monitoring the response from the device on the oscilloscope. The adjustment should be made to both generator outputs such that the level is set to the same value for both outputs. Reduce the amplitude until the NAK response packet begins to become intermittent, as shown in the figure below. At this point, increase the amplitude such that the NAK packet is not intermittent. This is just above the minimum receiver sensitivity levels before squelch.

Figure 48. Intermittent Response to IN tokens at low amplitude

11. Measure the zero-to-positive peak of the packet from the data generator using the cursors in the lower (zoom) window of the oscilloscope display. Use the upper cursor position knob to position cursor 1 on the zero level of the waveform and the lower cursor control knob to position cursor 2 on the positive peak of the waveform. The cursor should be positioned on the plateaus of the wider pulses to avoid inflating the reading due to overshoots. The difference voltage is indicated in the F1 waveform box, “zoom(C1)”, at the lower left corner of the oscilloscope screen. Record this value as EL_17 positive threshold.

12. Move cursor 2 to the negative peak of the waveform in the lower window of the oscilloscope screen, using the lower cursor control knob again, and position the cursor on the wider plateaus to avoid overshoots. Read the difference voltage in the waveform information box at the bottom left of the oscilloscope display. Record this value as EL_17 negative threshold. The receiver must continue to NAK packets above +/150 mV to pass EL_17.

QPHY-USB Operator’s Manual Rev F

QPHY-USB Software Option

13. Now further reduce the amplitude of the packet from the data generator in small steps, still maintaining balance between the outputs until the receiver just ceases to respond with NAK. This is the squelch level of the receiver.

14. Measure the Zero-to-Positive Peak and Negative Peak of the packet from the data generator, using the method described in steps 11 and 12. As long as the receiver ceases to NAK the data generator packet below +/- 100 mV, it is considered to have passed EL_16.

Figure 49. Receiver squelch level – no response to IN tokens

Note: With certain devices, making an accurate zero-to-peak measurement of the IN packet from the data generator may be difficult due to

excessive reflection artifacts. Also, on devices with captive cable, the measured zero-to-peak amplitudes of the IN packet at the test fixture could be considerably higher than that seen by the device receiver. In these situations, it is advisable to make the measurement near the device receiver pins on the PCB.

FULL AND LOW-SPEED TESTS

All HS-capable devices, hosts, and hubs must support Full-Speed (12 Mb/s) data rates. Compliance testing requires this rate be tested along with the High-Speed (480 Mb/s) rate. Full-Speed compliance requires both interoperability and electrical tests. The LeCroy USB 2.0 test solution addresses the electrical test requirements for Full-Speed operation. These tests include signal quality, inrush current, and droop/drop. The package also supports Low-Speed electrical tests, which apply only to hub/host downstream ports and Low-Speed devices. The following topics provide detailed descriptions of the Full and Low-Speed electrical tests for hosts, hubs and devices.

Test Criteria

Section 7.2.2 of the USB 2.0 specification requires self-powered downstream USB ports to provide a V between 4.75 and 5.25 V while bus-powered hubs must maintain V V

under both no-load and full-load (100 or 500 mA, as appropriate) conditions. Self-powered hubs, systems,

BUS

at 4.40 V or greater. Drop testing evaluates

and laptops must provide a voltage between 4.75 and 5.25 V under all load conditions. Bus-powered hubs must have a V

<= 100 mV between their upstream and downstream ports when 100 mA loads are present on all

DROP

downstream ports. This ensures they supply 4.4 V to a downstream device, given a 4.75 V upstream supply, minus 100 mV drop through the hub and 250 mV drop through the upstream cable. If the hub does not use a captive cable (the USB cable has a B plug), the voltage drop is the difference between the measured upstream voltage level and the lowest measured downstream value. Bus-powered hubs with captive cables (the USB cable does not have a B plug) must have V

less than or equal to 350 mV between the upstream connector and their

DROP

downstream ports. This includes the drop through the cable. Special consideration should be made for laptops unable to provide compliant voltages with 500 mA loads while running on battery power, provided they can meet the required voltages with one or more of the loads reduced to 100 mA. However, the end user may experience confusion and difficulty in this situation, unless the operating system or laptop vendor provides a warning message window alerting the user that a high-power device cannot be used under battery power.

2. Connect port 1 (port under test) of the hub or host under test to the Trigger section B socket (J25) of the Test Fixture using a short cable. Connect the A socket (J27) of the Trigger section to load 1 (J8) of the fixture using a 1 meter (3 ft.) USB cable. Connect port 2 of the hub or host under test to the droop section of the Test Fixture (J1) using a 1 meter (3 ft.) USB cable. Connect the remaining ports of the hub or host under test to the any of the remaining loads of the Test Fixture using 1 meter (3 ft.) USB cables. All hub/host ports should have a load attached. Make sure all of the switches are in the center (OFF) position before connecting the cables.

3. Connect channel 2 of the oscilloscope to J3 in the droop section of the fixture. Connect channel 3 of the oscilloscope to J28 in the Trigger section of the fixture.

4. Switch all test loads to the appropriate current level (100 mA or 500 mA) as indicated in the table in the Test Results section as follows.

Test Criteria

Section 7.2.4.1 of the USB 1.1 specification allows a maximum droop of 330 mV in the V

supplied to a USB

3. Use the SQ Device section of the Test Fixture as the SQiDD in the following figure. Ensure the TEST/INIT switch is in the INIT position. The best method to capture and analyze Low-Speed downstream signal quality is to capture both a keep-alive (Low-Speed EOP) and a packet. The root hub is required to either generate a keep-alive or send Low-Speed traffic once per frame whenever a Low-Speed device is directly attached. Capture downstream traffic with Low-Speed devices with a trigger on the rising edge of D-.

Inrush current

Inrush current is generated by devices when they are connected to a hub or host. Self-powered devices should have negligible inrush current. So, this test normally does not indicate any inrush current for such devices. Inrush is measured using the Inrush section of the test fixture.

The arrow on the current probe must point in the same direction as the arrow on the Test Fixture. The current probe (a LeCroy CP030, or equivalent) is attached to channel 4 of the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope is set to trigger on the rising edge of the current pulse measured on channel 4. Problems associated with switch bounce are avoided when initiating the inrush measurement by plugging the device under test into the Inrush section of the Test Fixture.

The sequence of operations is:

1. Move the switch in the Inrush section from the ON position to the Discharge position.

2. Unplug the device under test.

3. Move the switch back to the ON position. The oscilloscope may trigger and capture a waveform.

4. Plug the device under test into the Inrush port. The oscilloscope triggers again and captures a current waveform as follows:

Figure 59. Inrush Current Pulse

5. If the waveform’s vertical amplitude is too small or too large (off the screen), adjust the vertical scale of channel 4 and repeat steps 1 through 4 (previous). The inrush current is measured for a minimum of 100ms after attach. Repeat the steps until a good current trace is captured.

The inrush test measures regions where the current exceeds 100mA for at least 100µs. The region containing the most charge is used to determine pass or fail. The inrush test integrates the current in each region to obtain the total charge for each. The USB specification requires the total charge in each region be less than 50µC.

6. The software then generates an HTML report on the inrush.

The upstream portion corresponds to the part of the differential signal (channels 2 and 3) after the last bit in the trigger channel (channel 1). Use the cursors to select the downstream portion of the data packet (as the following figure shows). The cursors are set to 1 UI before the first bit in the sync field on the left and 1 UI after the end of the EOP on the right.

TF-USB-B TEST AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURES

This topic describes the procedures to deskew, or calibrate the TF-USB-B connection cables.

Cable Deskewing

The following procedure demonstrates how to deskew two oscilloscope channels and cables using the differential data signal, with no need for any “T” connector or adapters.

This can be done once the temperature of the oscilloscope is stable. The oscilloscope must be warmed up for at least a half-hour before proceeding. This procedure should be run again if the temperature of the oscilloscope changes by more than a few degree.

1. Connect a differential data signal to C2 and C3 using two approximately matching cables. Set up the oscilloscope to use the maximum sample rate (e.g. for WaveRunner 204Xi: two channel mode; on the Smart Memory menu set Fixed Sample Rate 10GS/s). Set the timebase for a few repetitions of the pattern (at least a few dozen edges).

2. On the C3 menu, check Invert. Now C2 and C3 should look the same.

3. Using the Measure Setup, set P1 to measure the Skew of C2, C3. Turn on Statistics (Measure menu). Write down the mean skew value after it stabilizes. This mean skew value is the addition of Data skew + cable skew + channel skew.

4. Swap the cable connections on the Data source side (on the test fixture), and then press the Clear Sweeps button on the oscilloscope (to clear the accumulated statistics; since we changed the input).

5. Write down the mean skew value after it stabilizes. This mean skew value is the addition of (-Data skew) + cable skew + channel skew.

6. Add the two mean skew values and divide the sum in half:

[Data skew + cable skew + channel skew] + [ (-Data skew) + cable skew + channel skew]UU

7. The above formula simplifies to:

[cable skew + channel skew]

8. Set the resulting value as the Deskew value in C2 menu.

9. Restore the cable connections to their Step 1 settings (previous). Press the Clear Sweeps button on the oscilloscope. The mean skew value should be approximately zero - that is the data skew. Typically, results are <1ps given a test fixture meant to minimize skew on the differential pair.

10. On the C3 menu, un-check the Invert checkbox and turn off the parameters.

In the previous procedure, we used the default setup of the Skew parameter (which is detecting positive edges on both signals at 50%). We also inverted C3 in order to make C2 and C3 both have positive edges at the same time.

Alternately, we clearly could have not inverted C3 and instead selected the Skew clock 2 tab in the P1 parameter menu and set the oscilloscope to look for negative edges on the second input (C3). However, it is somewhat agreed that the previous procedure looks much more aesthetically pleasing from the display as it shows C2 and C3 with the same polarity.

APPENDIX A

Receiver Sensitivity Test Waveform Setup

This section describes the characteristics of the required waveforms used for device or hub receiver sensitivity testing. Either a two channel pattern generator, such as the Agilent 81130A, or a two channel arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) can be used. Two Tabor WW1281A one channel AWG can also be used with a specific synchronization cable. The specific steps used to create the waveforms will vary depending on the model of generator being used. Please consult the documentation for details.

Note: If the minimum voltage step on the generator is greater than or equal to 50 mV, 6dB attenuators should be used to get a finer minimum voltage step. These attenuators will reduce the output voltage by approximately half, so the voltage levels on the generator should be doubled.
