Meeting USB performance requirements is essential to ensure that your product will operate successfully with other USB devices. If adherence to USB standards is not achieved during conformance testing, design modifications or complete redesigns are likely required. The best way to avoid this time-consuming and costly process of identifying problems, modifying the design, and retesting the PCB, is to employ a targeted and effective software simulation solution to analyze USB performance during the PCB design.
The Engineer’s Guide to USB will answers the following questions about USB performance requirements:
- What are the requirements for USB performance?
- What is the difference in USB performance requirements for USB Superspeed and USB Superspeed Plus?
- What are the key metrics that can be tested during PCB layout design to gauge your board’s ability to operate successfully with other USB devices?
- How can you measure and compare your PCB simulation results against USB performance standards?
- How do you use signal integrity simulation software to verify your design’s performance and ensure that you will achieve first-pass success for your USB compliance testing?
