Key features
The board has been designed with the following features:
- Specially designed to provide a low cost, high accuracy method of introducing controlled amounts of Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) for stress testing and general lab use
- Matched Differential Lines of the following nine lengths:
2.42", 5", 6.75", 9", 12", 17," 24", 31", 40"
- Matched 3 dB attenuators for easy amplitude adjustment in compliance testing for standards such as Serial ATA
- Flexible and easy to use around the lab with many different pieces of test equipment
- Connector pairs aligned for easy cascade of lines for added length
- Individually characterized s parameter data optionally available
- Correctly exhibits skin effect losses
