Overcoming USB Type-C Verification Challenges
In mid-2014, the USB Type-C standard was announced, which provided a thinner, reversible connector and ever evolving ecosystem of new platforms like MHL, DisplayPort, HDMI, and Thunderbolt over Type-C. USB Type-C is quickly being integrated into most high end and newly-released mid-range smart phones offering the reversible Type-C connector. It is also becoming the connector of choice for IoT, display, gaming, and other emerging applications. Synopsys’ Subsystem Verification Solution for USB Type-C™ is rapidly being adopted by customers.

Type-C is compliant with Power Delivery specifications, and a Type-C cable can be used to charge or power up a device. Using alternate mode, Type-C cables can connect to other third party peripherals besides USB. Some of the peripherals supported are Display Port, MHL, Thunderbolt 3, and most recently HDMI. The latest specification, USB 3.2, further enables new hosts and devices with USB Type-C to be designed as multi-lane solutions. The data rate over the existing USB Type-C cables is doubled, with up to two lanes of 5 Gbps or two lanes of 10 Gbps operation.
