How to debug a USB 3 connection?
(1/5) > >>
Jackster:
Hi all

I have a circuit board that I freelanced out the design of.
Had it made and got a pro to solder the USB type C plug and socket on for me (0.5mm pitch I wont touch xD)

The board extends the USB Type C socket about an inch from the plug.

I can get it to work in USB 2 mode but not USB 3.
Sometimes I can get the board I soldered to work in USB 3 but this is very rare.

What are my options here to debug this and find out what is going wrong?

Thank you
Jack

Seems you have signal integrity problems. If you can - show schematics (at least part in question) and photos of PCB, both sides. Provide links to info/docs of chip used. If you copied (part) of some existing board like devboard of USB chip - mention it as well.

USB 3 will work even is there is a few cm of wiring on 2 layer board without any impedance matching. Although in such case it will become a radio transmitter killing bluetooth, wifi and wireless mouses nearby. So without giving specifics of that board, it's hard to say why it does not work.

USB Socket top of board Würth Elektronik 632723300021
USB Plug bottom of board Würth Elektronik 632712000021

Board is 4 layer, the middle 2 are ground only.


Also to note, if I flip the cable from the socket to my PC, nothing works at all. No USB 2.

There might be other errors but on first glance I found this. Those are simply not connected.
