This chapter introduces the Keysight Type-C connectivity test fixtures and describes how these function

together to allow you to perform integrated testing for various interfaces supported over Type-C.

The details of each of these test fixtures and the hardware and software setup information are included in

the subsequent chapters.

8Keysight Type-C Connectivity Solution User Guide

Introduction to the Type-C Test Fixtures

The N7015A, N7016A, N7017A, and N7018A Type-C test fixtures provide a comprehensive and

complete testing solution for automated compliance testing, characterization, validation, and

debugging of your Type-C host/device including various Type-C interfaces such as USB, DisplayPort,

and ThunderboltTM. The following picture highlights the broad role that each of these Type-C test

fixtures play in the Type-C testing scenario.

NOTE

The N7018A is a superset of most of the features of the N7016A and additionally provides

power delivery controller capabilities and integrated testing over Type-C interfaces

through a single connection. This makes the N7018A a full replacement of the N7016A.

Type-C Connectivity Solution - Overview 1

Usage Scenarios for the Type-C Test Fixtures

You can use the Type-C test fixtures described in this guide in the following scenarios.

• USB 2.0 Tx and Rx testing

• USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbs) and Gen 2 (10Gbs) Tx and Rx testing

• Thunderbolt 3 over Type-C Tx and Rx testing

• DisplayPort 1.3 over Type-C testing including:

•2+2 mode: Two DisplayPort differential lanes + two simultaneous USB 3.1 differential

lanes

•Four DisplayPort differential lanes

• DisplayPort AUX Channel testing

• USB-Power Delivery over Type-C (Provider and Consumer and ALT Modes Control testing)

Sample setups and specific notes for these scenarios are included in the chapter “Sample Setups for

Type-C Testing" on page 55.

How the Type-C Test Fixtures Work Together

A high level overview of how these Type-C test fixtures work together is provided below. For details,

refer to the individual chapters in this guide dedicated to these fixtures.

The N7015A test fixture connects to a DUT and a compatible oscilloscope to break out four

differential lanes of Type-C high-speed signals from the DUT to the oscilloscope. These high-speed

signals can be monitored and analyzed using the Keysight Infiniium software installed on the

oscilloscope.

For low-speed power and control signals access, the N7015A test fixture connects to the N7018A

test controller or the N7016A test fixture and passes the Vbus, SBU, and CC lines to the N7018A /

N7016A via a USB Type-C (plug style) cable. There are probe points for Vbus, SBU, and CC lines on

the N7018A or N7016A to allow you to probe these low-speed signals at these fixtures.

The USB Type-C cable that connects the N7015A to the N7018A also serves as the connection

mechanism between the N7018A and DUT with the N7015A test fixture in between. Using this cable,

the N7018A establishes a Type-C connection and a standard 5V PD contract with DUT and

advertises the user-selected mode of operation (ALT Mode) and power delivery role to the DUT.

Once the connection is established, the N7018A can negotiate a new PD contract with the DUT on

the selected CC line using the USB PD protocol. This PD contract is as per the settings that you

configured for the N7018A.

When USB PD negotiations are complete, the N7018A enables the appropriate power path and

negotiates and enters the user-selected ALT Mode. It enables, discovers, configures, and

enters/exits the selected Alt Mode with the DUT via a USB PD protocol handshake.

All these configurations and control of the N7018A test controller including connection, power role,

ALT modes, and power delivery contract settings are done using the N7018A software (see page 72).

To provide power to the N7016A / N7018A test fixtures and control and configure these fixtures

using their software, you connect these to an oscilloscope or a host computer via the supplied USB

cable. An external power supply is needed if the N7018A / N7016A is acting as a power delivery

provider to DUT.

If you are using the N7016A, a power delivery controller is also needed. If you are using the N7018A,

then you do not need a power delivery controller as the N7018A acts as a power delivery controller

as well.

Besides signals monitoring and analysis, characterization, and debugging, these test fixtures also

allow you to run various compliance tests. The N7018A / N7016A test fixtures are integrated with a

number of Keysight compliance applications software to allow you to do automated compliance

testing when using these test fixtures.
