System Design Overview
In order to cover the wide range of expected application, two compliance channels are defined for electric
compliance testing. And, these two compliance channels (back channel and front channel) are used to check
the channel loss and reflection effect of Device or Upstream port of HUB. The figure below shows the
compliance channel designs for hosts, devices and cables. The host and cable compliance channels are used in
testing of device/HUB (UP) designs. The device and cable compliance channels are used for testing of
host/HUB (DP) designs.
