The NSX20 is a universal USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 test platform powered by Infineon’s EZ-USB™ FX20 controller. It provides both a USB-C plug and a USB-C receptacle, supporting all USB 3.2 configurations up to 20 Gbps. Each port operates independently, making the NSX20 ideal for validating host/device interoperability, link training, and protocol behavior.

A slide switch enables flexible power sourcing from either USB bus, while a PMODE button supports fast firmware updates and can be repurposed as a GPIO input after initialization.

Engineered for durability, the CNC-milled anodized aluminum enclosure is built to ±0.01 mm tolerance. All mechanical parts are supplied by Alps Alpine (Japan), with the slider rated for 10,000 cycles and tact switches for 600,000 cycles. Both USB ports incorporate Infineon’s advanced ESD protection (±12 kV IEC 61000-4-2).

Manufacturing, assembly, and test are performed in Taiwan to ensure quality consistency. The NSX20 ships with Infineon’s FX20 eye monitor reference code and supports the FX20 DVK schematic (KIT_FX20_FMC_001), making it directly compatible with existing BSPs and firmware examples for rapid evaluation and system integration.

The NSX20 is more than a reference design—it’s a purpose-built engineering test tool for USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 development. Unlike standard DVKs, it combines 20 Gbps performance, flexible plug-and-receptacle configurations, and field-ready durability in a CNC-milled aluminum chassis. With built-in power domain switching, firmware update support, and robust ESD protection, NSX20 gives hardware and validation engineers a ready-to-deploy platform that accelerates bring-up, compliance testing, and system integration without the compromises of generic evaluation kits.
