Overview

USB2HDBT offers an advanced HDBaseT interface via a USB 3.1 (Type B) connection.

Developed by Valens Semiconductor, HDBaseT Automotive technology enables the transmission of audio, data, USB, and Ethernet over a single twisted-pair (UTP) cable, delivering high bandwidth and low latency for distances of up to 15 meters.

This solution features the Valens VA6000 with extended NIC capabilities, allowing for quick integration using a Gigabit Network Interface Card (NIC) over USB 3.1.

Conectors

  • MATEnet interface: HDBaseT connection
  • USB 3.1 network card interface: USB 3.1 connection for Gigabit NIC.
  • USB 2.0 Type-A (port 1): Connected to VA6000 USB interface; NIC data may be multiplexed with HDBaseT data as per product design.
  • USB 2.0 Type-A (port 2): Exposes a virtual serial interface (CDC-ACM) for configuration via ValUE (Valens software).

Main Applications

USB2HDBT is primarily used in automated test equipment (ATE) for electronic components that employ HDBaseT automotive interfaces, enabling thorough validation of high-speed audio, and data transmission.

Beyond ATE, it can also support design verification setups for R&D teams developing next-generation automotive infotainment systems, production end-of-line testers to guarantee consistent product performance, and quality assurance labs for compliance and interoperability testing.
