USB Type-C ENGINEERING CHANGE NOTICE

Title: Cable Electrical requirement


Applied to: USB Type-C Specification Release 1.0, August 11,
2014
Brief description of the functional changes:
Test data of Type-C to Type-C cables indicate the electrical requirements are too tight in the specification. The
changes relax the electrical requirements without significant impact on the system.
The changes are applied to Type-C to Type-C cable and to Type-C to legacy cable.
For Type-C to Type-C cable, the changes include relaxed IMR, relaxed IRL and reduced fMAX. For Type-C to legacy
cable, the changes include relaxed IMR and relaxed IRL.

Benefits as a result of the changes:


As the result of the changes, well designed cables should be able to comply with the electrical requirements, while bad-
designed cables will fail to meet the electrical requirements.

An assessment of the impact to the existing revision and systems that currently conform to
the USB specification:
8 Type-C to Type-C cables from 7 different companies were used in the assessment. None of 8 cables passed the
requirements in the existing revision of the specification.
Checked with the change, 6 out of 8 cables met IMR requirement and 6 out of 8 cables meet IRL requirement.

An analysis of the hardware implications:


N/A

An analysis of the software implications:


N/A

An analysis of the compliance testing implications:


Measurement was done to evaluate the change using the compliance test fixture. Test criteria will need to be updated
to reflect the new requirements.
