USB 2.0 Compliance Testing Basics
USB 2.0 is a serial bus that utilizes a 4-wire system — V
BUS
,
D-, D+ and Ground. D- and D+ are the prime carriers of the
information. V
BUS
supplies power to devices that derive their
primary power from the host or hub.
USB 2.0 describes the following speed selections and rise
times:
USB 2.0 devices can be either self-powered (having their own
power supply) or bus-powered (drawing power through the
host). It is imperative for the self-powered devices to draw
as little power as possible. Tests are outlined in the USB 2.0
specifications for this aspect.
USB 2.0 Electrical Tests
USB 2.0 electrical tests include signal quality, in-rush current
check, and drop and droop tests.
Signal Quality Test
Maintenance of signal quality is one of the keys to ensure that
a USB 2.0 device is compliant and will be awarded the USB
2.0 certified logo.
The signal quality test includes:
Eye Diagram testing
Signal rate
End of Packet (EOP) width
Cross-over voltage range
Paired JK Jitter
Paired KJ Jitter
Consecutive jitter
Rise time
Fall time
The eye diagram test is unique and the first of its kind for serial
data applications.
The test set-ups for signal quality testing vary for upstream
and downstream testing. In the case of upstream testing,
signals transmitted from the device to the host are
captured, whereas in the case of downstream testing,
signals transmitted from the host are captured for testing.
Downstream testing is usually performed on ports of a hub.
