Micro-USB ECN for Cable R3实用学习资料.pdf

USB ENGINEERING CHANGE NOTICE Title: Quad type cable additional for Micro USB Applies to: Universal Serial Bus Micro-USB Cables and Connectors Specification, Revision 1.01 Summary of ECN The current Micro-USB specification in Section 4.5.1 specifies “The cables allowed by the Micro-USB specification are shown in Figure 4-1, Figure 4-2, Figure 4-3. …… and meet all other requirements of a USB cable” that a typical USB cable construction consist of non-twisted power pair, twisted signal pair, drain wire, aluminum shield, braiding and cable jacket. This ECN allows a Micro-USB cable to be constructed with the data and power lines twisted together and to not have a drain wire as is currently required in the Micro-USB specification Revision 1.01. Such a Micro-USB cable is referred to as a Quad Type Micro-USB cable. Reasons for ECN The benefits of this ECN are that a Quad Type Micro-USB cable can be produced that has a smaller diameter, is more flexible and has good bending performance. In addition, the cost of these cables will be less than standard Micro-USB cables, due the fact that these cables require reduced amount of material, less material for packaging due to smaller bundle shape, and reduced transportation costs. Impact on Existing Peripherals and Systems: This ECN meets all the electrical requirements for Micro-USB cables. So there is no impact on the existing peripherals and systems. (Ref. XV-4687C ECN Proposal for Micro USB (080815).pdf) (Ref. XV-4687C_Supplement Quad cable R1 (091202).pdf) Hardware Implications: There is no implication and impact. Software Implications: There is no implication and impact. Compliance Testing Implications: The Cable Assemblies Test must be updated to state that a Micro-USB cable that has data and power lines that are twisted together without a drain wire is an acceptable Micro-USB cable when visua
