Technical Documents Document Type ReleaseDate Stress Calibration for Jitter >1UI
While measuring the amount of jitter present on a signal is relatively straight forward conceptually; when the levels of jitter are small, amounts above a bit period (1 unit interval or UI) can be more difficult. This has practical consequences for …Application Note Characterizing an SFP+ Transceiver at the 16G Fibre Channel Rate
Figure 1. An example Fibre Channel topology. Abstract The Fibre Channel standard is evolving to include the next generation "16G" data rate. Specifications show a line rate of 14 …Primer Stressed Eye Primer
Figure 1. Conceptual picture of an ideal receiver. Figure 2. Simplified Receiver Block Diagram. Abstract Many high-speed serial …Primer PCI Express® Transmitter PLL Testing — A Comparison of Methods
Abstract The electrical compliance test specification drafted by PCISIG requires testing loop response of the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) used in add-in cards to generate a local transmitter clock from a 100 MHz reference oscillator …Primer Stressed Eye: “Know What You’re Really Testing With”
BER-based measurements can provide a better view of the stress eye opening down at the deep BER levels that the receiver will be expected to operate at when it is tested.Primer Clock Recovery Primer, Part 2
Abstract Clock recovery is a common part of many measurements, whether as part of the test setup or part of the device under test. We’re going to look at clock recovery from a practical point of view, with emphasis on how it affects …Primer Clock Recovery Primer, Part 1
Figure 1. If clock and data were to move in time by the same amount at the same time, a decision circuit could remove the effect of jitter. Abstract Clock recovery is a common part …Primer Dual-Dirac+ Scope Histograms and BERTScan Measurements
Figure 1.1. Using an eye diagram to set a window around the crossing point and plot edge positions. Abstract Much has been written about the strengths and weaknesses of dual-Dirac …Primer Evaluating Stress Components using BER-Based Jitter Measurements
Figure 1.1. Self-verification stress setup - connections to a BERTScope S or BERTScope with option SE (left). Stress user interface (right) showing the addition of individual impairments …Primer BERTScope® Bit Error Rate Testers Jitter Map “Under the Hood”
Abstract Jitter Map is a capability on the BERTScope that uses BER measurements tomeasure Total Jitter as well as decompose jitter beyond basic Random and Deterministic Jitter. This paper introduces the reader to the methodologies …Application Note Comparing Jitter Using a BERTScope® Bit Error Rate Testing
Introduction In most systems, it is desirable to have each data bit have the same duration (see Figures 1(a) and 2(d)). When bits vary in length, either randomly or systematically, this is known as jitter. One traditional form of …Application Note Six Sigma’ Mask Testing with a BERTScope® Bit Error Rate Tester
Introduction Mask testing is a common method of estimating whether a transmitted waveform is of sufficient quality to meet system requirements. In most systems the requirement is to pass bits error free, or at least at better than 1 …Application Note Bridging the Gap Between BER and Eye Diagrams — A BER Contour Tutorial
Abstract This paper provides an introduction to the BER Contour measurement - what it is, how it is constructed, and why it is a valuable way of viewing parametric performance at gigabit speeds. It also provides illustrative examples …Application Note Clock Recovery’s Impact on Test and Measurement
Introduction Clock recovery plays a significant role in making accurate test measurements, whether incorporated into the test setup or as part of the device under test. As most gigabit communication systems are synchronous, the data …Application Note Anatomy of an Eye Diagram: How to Construct & Trigger
Abstract This paper describes what an eye diagram is, how it is constructed, and common methods of triggering used to generate one. It then describes different ways that information from an eye diagram can be sliced to gain more insight. It …Application Note BERTScope™ CR125A+ 175A+ & 286A Clock Recovery Fact Sheet

FAQS FAQ ID On the PCIe PLL Bandwidth Tester Windows application that's used with the CR286A, there is a drop down under "Options" called "Enhanced Measurement" and has the options of "Standard", "Sensitive", and "Disabled".What does each option do?
In 8G mode only, some DUT’s are sensitive to the initialization routine, which involves forcing a re-lock of the DUT PLL several times to optimize the peaking measurement.The “Standard” selection uses a method that toggles the CR divider reset to …72106 How do I use TekExpress to perform a USB 3.0 Device Transmitter Test?
