USB-C Control Module Model A223807

The following specification is preliminary and is subject to change without notice.
Chroma A223807 supports the USB-C PD 3.1 (Power Delivery 3.1) protocol, with a maximum power output of 240W (48V/5A) (Extended Power Range, EPR), supporting up to 7 sets of SPR (Standard Power Range) and 6 sets of EPR. With the Programmable Power Supply (PPS) function, users can set the voltage anywhere between 5V and 48V in increments as small as 1 mV, allowing for precise adjustment of voltage and current.(Example with Chroma A223808)

The A223807 module comes with a built-in USB Pass-Through test function and supports USB-C compliant with USB 3.2 Gen 2 specifications, with transmission speeds of up to 10Gbps / 5Gbps / 480Mbps. Its 2 USB-C ports enable it to simultaneously measure the voltage and current of 2 different DUTs, as well as provide USB Simulator (USB 3.0 / USB 2.0) functionality, USB version information interpretation, and USB read/write file transfer rate information.

The Power Delivery (PD) protocol enables automatic reading of the role of the DUT, and the automatic/manual Power and Data Role Swap function allows users to conveniently confirm the role status, suitable for a variety of USB-C power products.

The supported Power Role monitoring function (Source/Sink) can automatically read the power role of the DUT through the Power Delivery protocol and carry out automatic/manual Power Role Swapping, helping users to confirm whether the DUT is supplying power or receiving power.

When the A223807 is used as a Power Sink when testing, it can read the PDO (Power Data Object) of the DUT (as a Power Source) through the PD protocol, supporting up to 13 modes (7 SPR + 6 EPR). In automatic mode, the most suitable PDO can be selected automatically according to the PDO profile setup; in manual mode, the PDO parameters to be selected can be switched manually for testing.

When used as a Power Source, four types of settings are supported: Fixed, Battery, Variable, and PPS. In Fixed mode, the parameters of the maximum current and percentage of peak current can be set; in Battery mode, the parameters of maximum wattage and upper and lower voltage limits can be set; in Variable and PPS mode, parameters of maximum current and upper and lower voltage limits can be set. In this way, the module enables comprehensive functional verification of the DUT.

The A223807 supports USB-C PD 3.1 with a maximum power output of 48V/5A. It has the ability to switch and control VBUS voltage and current detection, allowing users to confirm the voltage and current loss of the DUT.

The Data Role Swap function can swap and display the Data Role as UFP (Upstream Facing Port) or DFP (Downstream Facing Port) mode in real time.

The A223807 is equipped with a Sink test function, allowing users to input the load current value (based on the maximum current value limited by PDO). Users can manually switch between voltage and current test through the PDO Index and display the verification results, enabling R&D and quality assurance to easily confirm the PDO power supply capability of the DUT. (Example with Chroma A223808)

In the past, USB-A/B connectors were divided into positive and negative sides, and could only be inserted into the interface in one specific way. The introduction of the reversible USB-C connector solved this inconvenience.
The A223807's built-in automated control software can determine the USB-C connector's orientation based on the circuit, and its Cable Flip function can virtually switch between the positive and negative side. Physically flipping the cable is no longer necessary, which saves test time and reduces connector wear and tear.

Chroma A223807 provides voltage and power measurement of the Configuration Channel (CC) and VCONN pins. During the automated test, users can set the upper and lower voltage judgment range of CC and VCONN to check whether their power supply is functioning normally.

The USB-C cable information reading (E-Mark) function reads cable power transmission capability, data transmission capability, and ID information, providing users with the ability to quickly confirm the status of the DUT during the testing process for USB-C interface test applications.

Fast Role Swap (FRS) effectively ensures that devices requiring power are always powered and are not affected by other devices in the vicinity. The A223807 supports FRS through the USB-C hub, and displays the results on the screen in real time so that users can easily confirm whether the FRS function of the DUT is working as it should.

The A223807 is a reliable and impartial signal module that delivers best-in-class picture quality inspections and stringent signal integrity tests.

High conductivity beryllium copper improves the conductivity between components and reduces electromagnetic radiation leakage interfering with the DUT, in compliance with CE/EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards.
