80SJARB-80SJNB-Analysis-Software-For-DSA8300-Oscilloscope-Datasheet
Software for DSA8300 Sampling Oscilloscopes- Datasheet

High-speed serial data link measurements and analysis are supported with three software solutions. 80SJARB is a basic jitter measurement tool capable of measuring jitter on any waveform – arbitrary or very long patterns. 80SJNB Essentials (80SJNB) offers complete analysis of jitter, noise, and BER, with decomposition of components for a clear understanding of a signal’s problems and margins. 80SJNB Advanced (80SJNB02) adds Serial Data Link Analysis Visualizer (SDLA) functions to 80SJNB Essentials, including test fixture de-embedding, channel emulation, FFE/DFE equalization, and pre-emphasis/de-emphasis. The latest release of 80SJNB, PAM4, supports comprehensive analysis of multi-level signaling, including Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM-4) coded data.

Note: Tektronix updates the software periodically. Please consult the latest data sheet from www.tek.com for up-to-date product feature information

1Available from the TekExpress® RIN application which is distributed with any version of 80SJNB applications

2JNB01 adds insertion loss emulation and FFE/DFE. JNB02 further adds SDLA Visualizer for additional CTLE and full and multi-stage de-embed and channel emulation. Only JNB01 and JNB02 can be further enhanced by option PAM4.

80SJNB PAM-4 signal analysis

The PAM4 option for 80SJNB adds full jitter, noise and BER analysis on PAM-4 modulated signals to support 100-400 Gbps electrical and optical communication links.

Signal impairment sources for PAM-4 are categorized in similar ways as those for NRZ systems: uncorrelated jitter and noise sources, crosstalk, bounded, and unbounded types. 80SJNB PAM4 performs the full analysis on each PAM eye, and also performs a set of global PAM-specific measurements.

Plots show different aspects of the signal: pattern, eye diagrams, horizontal and vertical bathtub curves, BER eyes and contours are all reflecting the three stacked eyes for a PAM-4 signal.

 

80SJARB-80SJNB-Analysis-Software-For-DSA8300-Oscilloscope-Datasheet-EN_US-13-L

 

A key feature of the PAM-4 tool is to optimize the eye center reflecting a receiver with maximum horizontal and vertical margins. You have the option to lock the vertical slicer to a single phase for all three eyes.

 

80SJARB-80SJNB-Analysis-Software-For-DSA8300-Oscilloscope-Datasheet-EN_US-14-L

 

The PAM-4 analysis has full signal path emulation tools that support Continuous Time Linear Equalizer (CTLE), channel emulators described by S-parameters or TDR waveforms, and receiver equalizers Feed Forward (FFE) and Decision Feedback (DFE).

80SJNB analysis tools

The advanced techniques employed by the designs call for advanced tools in the measurement solutions. The concerns begin with acquisition: capturing the data signal through physical fixture distorts signal shape; 80SJNB provides you with a fixture de-embedding feature1which allows you to remove the effects of the fixture from the measurement. The accuracy improvement might well mean the difference between a passing design and a failing one, because the impact of the fixtures on the signal fidelity today is large.

And what is the shape of the transmitter signal you are capturing? The signal from the transmitter is no longer a simple NRZ square-wave pattern. Transmitter designers alleviate high-frequency loss in the media with transmitter equalization features, for example with preemphasis or de-emphasis of the transmitter waveform. Correspondingly, transmitter signals today need to be evaluated for this transmitter equalization; your 80SJNB quickly provides equalizing tap weight results to give you insight into the quality of your transmitter for both single- and multi-tap transmitter equalization designs.

1The tool for de-embedding filter creation is available free of charge from your Tektronix sales office.

Measure jitter and noise

80SJNB revolutionized jitter analysis by adding noise analysis, critical to noise- and eye-closure-limited high-speed designs both for NRZ (PAM-2) and PAM-4 signals. Complete characterization of both jitter and noise allows 80SJNB to offer capability new for oscilloscopes – BER contours, found on BERT instruments like the Tektronix BERTScope Series.

80SJNB offers analysis that is aware of bounded uncorrelated disturbers (BUJ etc.). Bounded uncorrelated disturbers are a growing problem in fast, densely packed designs at 8 Gb/s and above, where they arise mostly from increased crosstalk. In older jitter and noise analysis tools they are typically mistaken for random, unbound components; classifying these components as unbound leads to inappropriate increase in random component breakdown (RJ) and total (TJ, TN) result. 80SJNB answers the challenge with a jitter and noise breakdown extended to properly classify the bounded uncorrelated disturbers in their own category, increasing the accuracy of the jitter/noise result.

Unique among jitter tools, 80SJNB breaks down the contribution of noise to jitter with RJ(v) and PJ(v). The breakdown quickly pinpoints the cause of jitter problems.

Beyond measurements at the transmitter

An important part of today’s evaluation of serial data links is the complicated interaction between the shape of the measured waveform and the complex behavior of the interconnect channel. It is no longer possible to assume that if transmitter output meets the eye diagram mask it will work against all channels up to a given loss. Instead, advanced link test methods acquire the true transmitter waveform shape, and test against several corner-case channels.

Is the solution of emulating the channels based on their network description, for example, S-parameters? Such compliance tests are becoming a part of new standards. Now the measurement suite on your transmitter under test simply involves acquisition of the transmitter signal. Then you connect the captured signal to all required channels, one channel at a time – in emulation, rather than physically. 80SJNB supports this methodology; you can view the candidate channels without the need to reacquire the transmitter waveform. And unlike bare-bones evaluation scripts often used for pass/fail decisions the 80SJNB offers a rich set of views of the signal, starting with complete waveform, oversampled for high signal fidelity.

And of course the complete set of 80SJNB jitter and noise measurements is available to support your analysis of what problems, if any, your device might have. At the same time the BER eye offers a view of the link performance that matters most to the end user – in terms of BER performance and its margins. At the end of the test, save the waveform description data set for evidence or for future experiments; then recall and reanalyze whenever is needed without the need to reacquire.

80SJNB BER

Perhaps the single most important result of serial data link test is the BER; uniquely, the 80SJNB brings you the BER eye plot. While measurements on narrow parts of the signal are now common (jitter at the crossing, noise at the cursor), 80SJNB captures the whole signal, and then truthfully presents the accumulation of all impairments. Measurement results at a different decision threshold or timing point are just a click away, as the 80SJNB always keeps the whole 3-D shape and all waveforms behind it.

Mask testing

The communication industry (e.g. IEEE 802.3 100GBASE-LR4) has evolved mask testing from a basic test done on acquired data to a statistical-based methodology. In the past, testing was done by measuring the hit-ratio on the acquired eye and thus was done at a shallow BER. Statistical-based methods improve the repeatability and efficiency of the mask test on a larger population of data and as a direct result improve the ability to separate good and bad transmitters.

80SJNB Essentials adds support for the hit-ratio mask test and includes masks for common standards. Mask testing can be done on the waveform data or after de-embedding, channel emulation or equalization (requires 80SJNB02).

The 80SJNB Mask test goes beyond the standards’ methodology and adds two new concepts:

First, you are not limited to measuring the eye diagram at the probability given by the acquired data, but can also measure at other probabilities calculated in the PDF space. For example, the hit ratio for a standard mask test may be one hit in 20,000 samples. This is supportable by the traditional mask testing available in an oscilloscope. However, for a hit ratio of one hit in 10 million samples, traditional mask testing would require an excessively long acquisition time; 80SJNB quickly calculates both of these hit ratios.

Second, since 80SJNB also calculates the BER eye surface, you can apply the mask test to a target Bit Error Ratio (such as the BER contour space). In other words, you can find the Bit Error Ratio for a given mask (a BER mask test). This approach provides a different insight into the overall system quality.

The PDF mask test is the traditional industry approach to assess the quality of a transmitter. The BER Mask test provides a test of the BER that the signal supports for the given mask. When a custom mask shape is needed, for example, based on a change in requirements, the shape can be easily modified in an ASCII file and used in either of the PDF or BER space.

De-embed, embed, and equalize

SDLA Visualizer and JNB Signal Path

JNB's Signal Path is now complemented with the advanced features of SDLA Visualizer. SDLA Visualizer extends the de-embedding and channel emulation capabilities of JNB signal path by offering a complete 4-port de-embed that models not only the effects of insertion loss, but also models the effects of return loss and cross-coupling. SDLA Visualizer also complements the DFE/FFE receiver equalization support in JNB and adds the ability to model CTLE equalization.

SDLA Visualizer works with the Signal Path function built into JNB Advanced. After configuring SDLA Visualizer, selecting the desired test point, and applying the model, the filter for the selected test point will automatically be loaded into the Signal Path filter block.

If DFE or FFE equalization are required, those parameters can be quickly entered in the JNB Signal Path and then the final measurements can be done.

These are just a few examples of the many features available from SDLA Visualizer, for more details see the SDLA Visualizer datasheet available onwww.tektronix.com.

Transmitter equalization measurements

Serial data transmitters employing pre-emphasis/de-emphasis can be evaluated and measured using the FFE equalization feature. The package can autoset the tap values on the received PRBS pattern, enabling evaluation of the value of taps that counter-equalize the transmitter pre-emphasis/de-emphasis.

Fixture removal, arbitrary filter

At high speeds the test fixture often significantly distorts the acquired signal. The Advanced package supports a filter block which can be used for the fixture removal. But the processing block is flexible, not dedicated; it can perform as an arbitrary filter instead, for example for simulation of pre-emphasis/de-emphasis schemes or for the use of filters created with SDLA Visualizer.

Channel emulation

The interaction between the true transmitter signal shape and the channel (interconnect) parameters is complex and not easily predictable from separate measurements. A reliable way to observe the performance of the whole serial link is by connecting the true transmitter waveform to the channel. The channel doesn’t have to be physically present: the Advanced 80SJNB package offers channel emulation based on network measurements of the channel. In this situation a transmitter signal with or without pre-emphasis/de-emphasis can be captured; the channel can be emulated through its S-parameters or time-domain network description, such as the TDR/TDT traces, and the signal at the end of the emulated channel can be measured.

Equalize, then equalize again

The equalization in the transmitter is one tool in the arsenal of tricks for fighting the loss and dispersion in the interconnect: another one is the equalization at the receiver. Receiver equalization in most NRZ systems falls under either FFE (Feed Forward Equalization; also known as LFE – Linear Feedback Equalization), or DFE – Decision Feedback Equalization. A receiver equipped with equalization can decode signals that, when viewed as an eye diagram, are completely closed.

How to measure such signals? The 80SJNB equalization tools can open a completely closed eye, with your own equalizer tap values, or, at the push of a button, find equalization tap values on a PRBS pattern for you, for either a FFE or DFE equalizer. The speed of recalculation and the ease of use allows you to easily modify system parameters, such as the number and weight of taps, or the amount of pre or de-emphasis; you can verify the optimization of the design, or develop “what-if” scenarios.

For those cases where CTLE (Continuous Time Linear Equalization) is required SDLA Visualizer can quickly create the necessary filter and load it directly in JNB.

If you design or measure devices intended for the high-volume PC market you will appreciate the addition of operation on the SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking) – another first in the sampling oscilloscope measurements. Using the DSA8300 or DSA/TDS/CSA8200 mainframes plus the 82A04 Phase Reference module, the 80SJNB not only measures your signals under the presence of SSC, it also measures the SSC parameters.

Beyond just analysis, 80SJNB presents the unmatched utility of separating the jitter caused by noise impairments versus its jitter-based component.

The platform

The 80SJNB Jitter, Noise, BER, and Serial Data Link Analysis software runs on the Tektronix DSA8300 Sampling Oscilloscope. This combination of state-of-the-art analysis software with the advantages of the Tektronix sampling oscilloscope mainframe, such as modular flexibility, uncompromised performance, and unmatched signal fidelity, gives you the tools for next-generation high-speed serial data design validation and compliance testing.

Network description tool

The 80SJNB Jitter, Noise, BER, and Data Link Analysis software in some cases uses network description information, such as S-parameters in the Touchstone format. We recommend Tektronix TDR hardware and Tektronix IConnect application software for high-quality Touchstone network description data. Amongst the advantages of using Tektronix TDR hardware and IConnect is the preservation of the DC values in the Touchstone matrix, which is typically lost with other measurement methods. 80SJNB will work with network description based on other measurement methods, such as VNA data; the DC measurement results will then typically have to be extrapolated in the 80SJNB.

Prerequisites

The 80SJNB software package is designed for use on the DSA8300 Sampling Oscilloscope.

Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) support requires the 82A04 Phase Reference module, which can only be used on the DSA8300.

80SJARB: Jitter analysis of arbitrary data

 

80SJARB-80SJNB-Analysis-Software-For-DSA8300-Oscilloscope-Datasheet-EN_US-17-L

 

The 80SJARB jitter measurement application software for the Tektronix DSA8300 addresses IEEE 802.3ba applications requiring the J2 and J9 jitter measurements. It also enables basic jitter measurements for NRZ data signals including PRBS31, random traffic, and scrambled data. This provides an entry-level jitter analysis capability with simple Dual Dirac model jitter analysis and no hardware module requirements. 80SJARB can acquire continuously in “free run” mode, delivering acquisitions and updates beyond the IEEE minimum requirement of 10,000 data points. Plots include jitter bathtub curves for both measured and extrapolated data and a histogram of the acquired data.
