Online Technical Seminar USB Type-C® & PCI Express®

Title: "USB Type-C ® , Power Delivery Free Online Seminar"

In October 2022, the EU decided to unify the charging terminals of mobile devices to USB Type-C®, and USB Type-C® and USB PD are expected to become more popular in the future. Host and Device sides have the same shape, and there is no front and back. In addition, it has become difficult to pass the certification test in one go, and analysis of Fails has become essential.

In this seminar, we will provide an overview of USB Type-C® and USB PD, explain the VIF necessary for conducting the test, and introduce what kind of events actually occur and are analyzed in the test by featuring fail cases.

We look forward to your participation.

Program:
・Overview of USB Type-C®
・Overview of USB PD
・About VIF
・About USB logo certification test
・Introduction of fail cases

Speaker: Naoe Nakamaru, Engineering Manager
She has deep expertise in testing high-speed digital interfaces, especially USB and USB-PD, and is a certified test engineer for the USB-IF.

Title: "PCI-Express® Free Online Seminar"

PCI- Express®, which is used as an internal interface for equipment that processes data in recent years, has seen remarkable increases in data speed and capacity . A typical PC is equipped with a 16-lane CEM connector, and the speed of each of those lanes has been significantly faster, as shown below.
・32Gbps for Gen5 on the latest chipsets,
・64Gbps for Gen6, whose specifications have been finalized and
・128 Gbps for Gen7, which is now under discussion.
It is also used not only as an expansion interface, but also as an interface between LSIs these days, and is positioned as the core of next-generation embedded technology.

This seminar will provide an overview of PCI-Express® and introduce PCI-Express® compliance testing at our company.

We look forward to your participation.

Program :
・Base spec vs. CEM spec
・Definition of components, links and lanes
・Architecture: Topology
・Architecture: Layer structure
