Keysight Delivers USB4 Test Solutions to Optimize Design Performance and Ensure Standard Compliance

Quickly and accurately validates USB interfaces to test, debug, and characterize USB4 designs

SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 13, 2020 – Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced new USB4™ solutions that maximize the performance of USB designs and ensure compliance with the USB standard to deliver accuracy and high signal fidelity.

Keysight is active in next-generation USB4 specifications implemented by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). A wide range of products, including smartphones, laptops, desktop computers, tablets and digital cameras, rely on next-generation high-speed digital standards. USB4, a plug and play interface for inter-digital communication, is based on the Thunderbolt™ protocol specification and offers significant advantages in bandwidth, power and data delivery.

“Billions of devices worldwide rely on Synopsys DesignWare® USB IP for connectivity, demonstrating our commitment to providing designers with high-quality IP for the most advanced protocol standards,” said John Koeter, senior vice president of marketing and strategy for IP at Synopsys. “As the industry’s only provider of a complete USB4 IP solution, Synopsys utilizes Keysight’s comprehensive USB4 test and debug solution to help ensure that our IP adheres to the USB-IF specifications, enabling designers to deliver compliant, interoperable products to the market faster and with significantly less risk.”

To enable customers to design debug and test, Keysight offers the following USB4 solutions:

“With the proliferation of 5G and billions of connected devices, data center operators and device makers must find ways to ensure data throughput demands meet cost, performance and power targets,” said Joachim Peerlings, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s network and data center solutions group. “To enable the end-to-end communications ecosystem, we’re proud to deliver test and measurement solutions that accelerate the development of designs like USB4.”

In accordance with the USB standard and to ensure the interoperability of USB4 devices, Keysight offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-speed digital instrumentation including:

  • Keysight’s UXR real-time oscilloscope, which provides accuracy in waveform representation across a wide frequency range;
  • Keysight’s Vector Network Analyzers, which use a generated signal to analyze a network or device to deliver the accuracy needed to perform both linear and nonlinear device characterization;
  • Keysight’s highly integrated Bit Error Ratio Testers (BERTs), which identify errors introduced into the system when data is received, a critical capability in physical layer characterization, validation and compliance testing.
