Packet-Master PDT-EPR Power Delivery Compliance Tester (PDT-EPR)

The Packet-Master PDT-EPR is a USB Power Delivery Compliance Tester and development tool. It is based on our extremely successful USB-PDT model but has been enhanced to address the new requirements of EPR (Extended Power Range).

The PDT-EPR comes complete with our Windows application GraphicUSB for driving and reporting on the Compliance Tests and capturing and displaying every detail of the PD interactions.

Power Delivery

Power Delivery is a specification allowing USB to provide power in a more flexible and adaptable way. It uses two-way signalling on the CC wire of a USB C-cable.

Power Delivery Compliance Tester

The Packet-Master PDT-EPR behaves as one end of a PD link. It can emulate the behaviour of an initial Source or Sink in controlled ways, and assuch is able to confirm the responses of the connected Unit Under Test (UUT).

Cable Marker Compliance Tester

It is also designed to perform all the required protocol and PHY Compliance Tests on Electronic Cable Markers. Nothing extra is required for these tests.

Analyser

Analyser functionality is always available. An additional Analyser Pod is required to allow analysis of PD between two external PD devices.

Background

PDT-EPR has been designed in conjunction with the USB-IF PD CTS Compliance Specification. Virtually any non-compliance with the protocol, timings, signal quality, or power control will be revealed, and a detailed description of the problem displayed.
