GRL Jointly Organizes USB Type-C/PD Compliance Seminar with EAGLETEK and Rohde & Schwarz

June 19, 2025 | 1:00 PM | South China International Convention Center, Taipei

Power supply design has become a critical aspect of consumer electronics R&D. As fast charging, high-load demands, and multifunctionality become standard, engineers face increasingly complex compliance and performance challenges.

To address these issues, Granite River Labs, EAGLETEK Technology, and Rohde & Schwarz will jointly host a seminar titled “From Compliance to Performance: Analysis of Consumer Electronics Power Supply Design and Testing Practices” on 19 June 2025, 1:00 PM, at the South China International Convention Center, Taipei.

This seminar will explore practical strategies for USB Type-C and Power Delivery compliance, as well as testing methodologies for high-performance SoC power design. Topics will span the full design and testing cycle—from regulatory standards to architecture, measurement, and debugging—with a focus on the intersection of compliance and innovation. Key technologies covered include interface protocols, power architectures, and test verification techniques.

Professionals involved in USB development, SoC power design, and test engineering are encouraged to attend. Stay ahead of the curve in regulatory trends such as the EU RED directive and IEC 62368-1, while learning how to optimize power integrity and adopt new design methodologies for next-generation products.

Who should attend?

• SoC/PMIC Design Engineers: Learn how to optimize multi-voltage architectures and ensure power integrity.
• PD IC and Power Module Developers: Understand the latest in USB PD chip/module design, PPS/EPR applications, and compliance.
• Power Module Designers: Improve system-level Type-C/PD architecture for fast charging and high-power applications.
• Test & Validation Engineers, Lab Staff: Master techniques for ripple noise, PSRR, Bode plots, EMI, and other key tests.
• Compliance & QA Professionals: Keep up with evolving standards like IEC 62368-1 and EU RED to accelerate market entry.

Event highlights

• USB Type-C/PD Compliance Analysis – Mastering International Standards. GRL experts break down compliance testing for fixed voltage, PPS, and AVS modes under USB Type-C®/PD power specs. The session covers IEC 62368-1, the EU RED directive, and GRL's verification solutions for USB Type-C Shared Capacity Interoperability Software to enhance functional safety.
• High-Power USB PD Design – Compliance Challenges and Solutions. Understand power supply levels PS1–PS3 under IEC 62368-1 and how to design for safety and compliance—especially when addressing fire risks in EPR (Extended Power Range) devices exceeding 100W.
• SoC Power Design Pain Points – Testing for High-Speed Operation. Rohde & Schwarz presents test strategies for managing low voltage, high current, and ultra-short state times in high-performance SoCs. Learn to build stable power architectures with multi-phase buck converters, dynamic voltage scaling, and power sequencing.
• MXO5 Oscilloscope Introduction – Power Quality & Stability Testing. Explore how R&S high-end oscilloscopes handle ripple noise, load step testing, PSRR, Bode plots, and more. Simultaneous time- and frequency-domain analysis enables deeper insight into power optimization for parallel multiplexing.
• Practical Case Study – Verifying SoC Power Stability from Data. See a real-world R&S demonstration on testing high-current SoC modules: transient response, voltage regulation, startup timing, and cross-rail interference debugging. Learn structured test methods to ensure system-wide power stability.
