Getting Started

To begin evaluation, connect the board between a USB host and a peripheral device using standard Type-C cables. Engineers can use an oscilloscope to measure clamping voltages during transient events or a network analyzer to verify that the 10 Gbps data paths meet eye diagram requirements. Refer to the 824045810 TVS diode datasheet for specific electrical characteristics and DFN1610-2L land pattern recommendations.
