Tektronix Delivers Automated USB Type-C Compliance and Debugging Solutions

As manufacturers intensify their efforts to meet consumer demand for ever faster data downloads, from live streaming videos to global videoconferences, multiple industries are now accelerating adoption of the latest USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 specifications over USB Type-C connectors. Tektronix announced three new testing solutions to help drive these efforts, which can easily be integrated into test environments, enabling higher speed data transfers.

The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) announced the DisplayPort 2.0 video standard, the first major update to the DisplayPort standard since March 2016, increasing data bandwidth performance up to three times more than the previous version of DisplayPort 1.4a. Utilizing the Thunderbolt 3 physical interface layer and USB Type-C connector, DisplayPort 2.0 boosts the data and video bandwidth to a maximum payload of 77.37 Gbps, while new built-in features enable improved user experience, provide greater flexibility and improve power efficiency.
