SAN FRANCISCO, July 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Truechip, today announced that it has shipped early adoption version of USB4v2 Verification IP.

On this occasion, Nitin Kishore, CEO, Truechip, said, "Today we possess a phenomenal range of proven Verification IPs, NoC Silicon IPs, GUI, and Automated solutions. Our Philosophy of P3 - Prompt Support, Proven Solution and Perfect Integration differentiates us from others. We are flexible towards varied customer requirements in terms of aggressive support, customization, enhancements along with ease of integration."

"With introduction of PAM3 signaling, USB4v2 not only increases the speed from 40Gbps (in USB4v1) to 80Gbps but also adds multiple additional features for flexibility and efficiency like Dynamic data-rate change based on requirement (Symmetric/ Asymmetric Links). Additionally with the changes in RSFEC, the skews are lesser and skew management is easier. While maintaining compatibility with Thunderbolt 3 products, USB4v2 goes beyond the data rate for Thunderbolt 3 and 4 (40Gbps)," added Kishore.
