Embedded DisplayPort Test Adapter User Manual Introduction This user’s guide documents the Embedded DisplayPort Test Adapter (EDP-TPA) and Calibration Module. The test adapter, shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, tests Embedded DisplayPort Interface (eDP) cables, devices, or displays against the VESA DisplayPort™ PHY Compliance Test Specification.

The low-speed 20-position receptacle connector is keyed and latching (Molex part number 43025-2000). The mating plug connector housing and contact pins for 26-30awg wire are provided with each eDP-TPA assembly (Molex part numbers 43020-2001 for the 20-position housing and 43031-0011 for the 26-30awg pin contacts). Replacement plug parts can be purchased through Molex distributors.
While individual high-speed coaxial cables within the test adapter have some rotational freedom, twisting the EDP-TPA as a unit, with one end held stationary, in excess of +/- 90° may damage or severely degrade performance. Adherence to Caution 5 (below) helps to avoid exceeding twist limits.

The EDP-TPA female SMA connectors have flats that accept an open-end 1/4-inch or 6.5mm wrench. (Male SMA connectors have flats that accept an open-end 5/16- inch or 8mm wrench.) When attaching instrument cables to the EDP-TPA, it is recommended that the EDP-TPA connectors be mechanically held and the instrument cable SMA connectors be tightened to the equipment manufacturer’s...
Before each use of the EDP-TPA, ensure that all connectors are clean. Handle all cables carefully and store the EDP-TPA in the foam-lined instrument case when not in use, if possible. Do not set connectors contact end down. Install the SMA protective end caps when the EDP- TPA is not in use.
Electrostatic Discharge Information Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while connecting, inspecting, or cleaning the EDP-TPA test adapter and connectors attached to a static-sensitive circuit (such as those found in test sets). Electrostatic discharge can damage or destroy electronic components. Be sure to perform all work on electronic assemblies at a static-safe workstation, using two types of ESD protection: ...
The EDP-TPA’s have Touchstone S4P files for de-embedding the electrical length and losses within the TPA up to the EDP-TPA connector interface pads. (Contact Wilder Technologies, support@wilder-tech.com, to obtain a copy of the S4P files.) The Touchstone S4P...
-40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F) (Characteristic) EDP-TPA Cable Pinout The EDP-TPA cables provide six or ten SMA connectors (Main Link and Auxiliary signals) and two low-speed connectors. Labels clearly mark each cable or connector. The following figure refers to pin-description tables for each of the two connector types.
