TAIPEI, Taiwan – Test and measurement specialists at Granite River Labs (GRL) in Taipei, Taiwan, needed electrical bench testing for USB4, DisplayPort 2.1, and Thunderbolt evaluation. They found their solution from Teledyne LeCroy in Chestnut Ridge, N.Y.
GRL experts are choosing the LabMaster 10 Zi-A oscilloscopes from Teledyne LeCroy for bench-testing USB4, DisplayPort 2.1 and Thunderbolt computer interconnect and networking technologies.
The DisplayPort 2.1 specification supports 80 gigabit-per-second link speeds, while the USB4 Version 2.0 specification supports 120 gigabits per second using PAM3 signaling for fast data transfer in next-generation devices over the USB Type-C connector.
The high speeds and novel signaling introduce high complexity into the test process, requiring test labs to increase capacity, Teledyne LeCroy officials say.
The LabMaster 10 Zi-A oscilloscopes provides fast and efficient testing and calibration of physical layer transmitters and receivers by using the Anritsu MP1900A BERT.
The LabMaster 10 Zi-A oscilloscope contains an Intel Xeon Gold 6240R 24-core server-class CPU with as much as 192 gigabytes of RAM. The processing power in the oscilloscope enables engineers to perform the required compliance tests more quickly than by using a separate computer, Teledyne LeCroy officials say.
"We are pleased to add the LabMaster 10 Zi-A to support USB4, DisplayPort 2.1 and Thunderbolt compliance testing,” says Quintin Anderson, GRL's co-founder and chief operating officer. “The LabMaster has helped us to immediately expand capacity in our Taiwan lab, as additional testing will be required for the latest revisions to these standards.”
