Compliance and Characterization Solution for Sampling Scopes
IEEE 802.3bj (100GBASE-KR4/100GBASE-CR4) and IEEE 802.3bm (CAUI-4) Electrical Equivalent Time Transmitter Compliance and Characterization Solution
The Tektronix Equivalent Time Instrument based 100GBASE-KR4/100GBASE-CR4 or CAUI-4 Transmitter Characterization automation system provides turnkey testing and debug of three of the 100G Ethernet industries most common electrical interfaces. As silicon designers need to perform 100GBASE-KR4 and 100GBASE-CR4 validation of their silicon, and system designers need to perform 100GBASE-CR4 and CAUI-4 validation, these three tools are brought together in a single 100G-TXE (Electrical Transmitter Validation) package.
100G-TXE application package is an automated compliance and characterization solution for IEEE 100GBASE-KR4, 100GBASE-CR4, and IEEE CAUI-4 users. This package operates on DSA8300 sampling instrument with 80E09B or 80E10B electrical acquisition modules and 82A04B Phase Reference module. The 100G-TXE loads the required Bessel Thomson roll-off filter which constrains the channel requirements to IEEE mandated 33 GHz, 3 dB point. The unique lower noise levels of the DSA8300 sampling architecture supports key signal to noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) measurement, the result of which is attained with the highest possible margin on the DSA8300 system. The 100G-TXE solution is also available on Real Time Scope (DPO70KSX and 70KDX series).
Key features
- 100G-TXE offers streamlined and fully automated transmitter characterization of 802.3bj’s 100GBASE-KR4/100GBASE-CR4 electrical transmitter specifications, as well as 802.3bm CAUI-4 specification.
-
Extends 80SJNB for analysis and debug into 100GBASE-KR4/100GBASE-CR4 and CAUI-4 1.
1CAUI-4 is also known as CAUI.
Applications
- Measurements of electrical transmitter on 25+ Gb/s PAM2 NRZ lanes
- Validation of 100GBASE-KR4/100GBASE-CR4 and CAUI-4

Transmitter test fixture and test points
Host Control Board (HCB) and Module Control Board (MCB) are for test point TP1a and TP4 respectively.
1DC common mode voltage is generated by the host. Specification includes effects of ground offset voltage.
Electrical System Interconnect Setup
Direct electrical connections via a precision fixture or 2.92mm interconnects are the preferred method to access the backplane and cabled signals. The QSFP28 module interconnect point found on 100GBASE-CR4 and CAUI-4 designs is the most typical signal access point.

100GBASE-KR4/100GBASE-CR4 Measurement Selection
The setup and test execution are simple with the 100G-TXE software. The oscilloscope acquisition and analysis are all controlled through the 100G-TXE automation solution. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides an intuitive and easily repeatable workflow for setup and testing.
TekExpress ® 100GBASE-KR4 measurement setup
Design characterization is supported beyond 100GBASE-KR4/100GBASE-CR4/CAUI-4 compliance requirements for all measurements. TekExpress 100G-TXE offers flexible control over test configurations such as analysis windows and other parameters. User defined mode lets customers make changes to the test limits, and perform marginal testing beyond compliance.
User Defined mode
Users can configure global parameters, test specific parameters, measurement repeat parameters, and notification parameters in user defined mode. This supports characterization measurements rather than developing custom lab setups, reducing testing time and complexity.
