百佳泰於2023年6月9日獲得USB-IF協會授權，正式取得USB Power Delivery EPR認證資格。相關認證要求的測試項目以及測試設備如下：
目前可取證的USB Power Delivery EPR產品種類尚有限制，USB-IF要求認證產品只能夠有一個USB Type-C® port為EPR capable source port。以下兩項目前無法取證的產品為例：
- 產品上除了有EPR capable source port也有EPR capable sink port
- 產品上除了有EPR capable source port也有SPR capable source port
除了上述限制外，另一點須留意的是：因為EPR的AVS為必需要支援的功能, 所以不允許不支援AVS的EPR capable source port取證。
最新USB-IF compliance updates如下：
㊀ Deprecation of EHCI Testing. USB2CV and EHCI IOP
㊁ Decrease to One Test Equipment Solution for SPR Products
注意事項：EX-350只支援Protocol相關測項, 故需要另外用其他設備補測Physical & Power相關測項
注意事項：The temporary waiver can be granted by USB-IF until February, Y2024
㊃ FRS & USB4 should be run in the latest USB Power Delivery CTS for informational purpose
㊄ TEST.PD.PROT.ALL3.8 in the latest USB Power Delivery CTS
注意事項：
Respond with the correct revision: Pass
Respond with Not Supported: Temporary Waiver
Respond with nothing: Fail
㊅ COMMON.CHECK.PD.9 in the latest USB Power Delivery CTS
PD CTS update 詳細資訊：
PD Spec. update詳細資訊：
注意事項：The CTS will always be testing against the most current version of the base CTS. Any failures relating to previous versions will go through the waiver process
㊆ Define Vbus slew rate measurements in the latest USB Power Delivery CTS
詳細資訊：
◈ Affected Test item
➱ PD.PS.SRC.1 Multiple Request Load Test
➱ PD.PS.SRC.2 PDO Transitions
➱ PD.PS.SNK.3 Multiple Request Load Test Post PR Swap
◈ Vbus slew rate measurements (Appendix E)
➱ Turn all filtering and sample averaging off and work only with the raw signal samples
➱ Collect data samples with rate at least 20uS/Sample
➱ Start collecting signal samples after receiving Accept Message and before sending the last bit of GoodCRC Message. Record the Voltage Level as V1
➱ Stop collecting signal samples upon receiving PS_RDY Message. Record the Voltage Level as V2. – Calculate the difference ΔV = |V2 – V1|
➱ If ΔV < 3.5V, the slew rate measurement could not be accurately calculated, and the measurement disregarded.
➱ Find the first sample that exceeds V1 + 0.1*ΔV for the Positive Transition (V2>V1) or getting below V2 + 0.9*ΔV + for the Negative Transitions (V2< V1) and corresponding sample number Sn_A from the last bit of GoodCRC– point A
➱ Find the first sample that exceeds V1 + 0.9* ΔV + for the Positive Transitions or getting below V2 + 0.1*ΔV + for the Negative Transitions and corresponding sample number Sn_B from the last bit of GoodCRC – point B
➱ Find SR = (Vpoint_B – Vpoint_A)/(Sn_B – Sn_A)*R
㊇ Remove the monotonicity requirement
詳細資訊：
• Affected Test item
SPT.1 Load Test in USB Type-C and PD Source Power Requirements CTS
• If USB-IF QuadraMax reports the monotonicity issue, the vendors can ignore it and no waiver is required
㊈ Update to PPS Requirements
詳細資訊：
• Affected Test item
SPT.6 PPS Voltage Step Test in USB Type-C and PD Source Power Requirements CTS
• If USB-IF QuadraMax reports the min voltage issue (3.3V), the vendors can request a wavier
