3 N7018A Type-C Test Controller28 Keysight Type-C Connectivity Solution User GuideFeaturesThe table below lists some of the key features of the N7018A in the context of various emulation roles andfunctions that it can perform.NOTE For the ALT modes supported, the N7018A can support and maintain aUSB2.0 and a USB Power Delivery connection.As a Power Delivery Provider, the N7018A:• advertises an initial 5V/3A PDO which is used to establish a basic 5V PD contract between the N7018A and consumer DUT. Afterthe initial 5V PD contract is established, the N7018A can provide for any advertised consumer PDO ranging from 5-20V and up to5A (@ 20V) using the N6701A external power supply.• advertises a maximum current limit that it guarantees to be able to supply to the DUT.• displays the sink PDOs that the DUT advertised for its power operating requirements.• allows you to select a sink PDO from the DUT’s advertised PDOs to set up a new PD contract with the DUT.• allows you to configure its source PDO (fixed only) to advertise its power delivery capabilities to the consumer DUT.• negotiates and sets up new PD contracts with the DUT,As a Power Delivery Consumer, the N7018A:• advertises an initial 5V/1A PDO request which is used to establish a basic 5V PD contract between the N7018A and provider DUT.After the initial 5V PD contract is established, the N7018A can operate at any provider PDOs advertised by the DUT ranging from5-20V.• advertises a maximum current limit that the provider DUT has to guarantee to be able to supply.• displays the source PDOs that the DUT advertised for its power providing capabilities.• allows you to select a source PDO from the DUT’s advertised PDOs to set up a new PD contract with the DUT.• allows you to configure its sink PDO (fixed only) to advertise its power requirements to the provider DUT.• negotiates and sets up new PD contracts with the DUT,• can sink up to 5A in the consumer role when connected to the N6701A external power supply (set to Sink mode).For these PD negotiations, the N7018A uses the USB Type-C CC line that you selected as the communication channel and managesthe connection to the link partner DUT via the Type-C cable connection to the N7015A test fixture.See Also“Power Delivery Contract Setup - Flow of Steps" on page 78As a Power Delivery Controller, the N7018A:• supports USB PD negotiations and ALT modes.• control the active Type-C connection (Normal or Flipped).• control the power role (as a provider or a consumer)• control (swap) the data role. As a DFP, it can control the entry and exit of the modes in the sink DUT.• control the ALT modes to be tested.• control the power delivery (as a Power Delivery Controller)As a UFP / DFP, the N7018A:• can handle either of the two data roles - Upstream Facing Port (UFP) or Downstream Facing Port (DFP).• can accept a default data role based on the power role that you configured for the N7018A.• can accept a data role swap when initiated by the DUT.• can initiate a data role swap itself when configured by the user to do so.
