Features & Benefits
- Enables 80SJNB – The Advanced Jitter, Noise, and BER Analysis Software
- Provides Trigger on Repetitive Patterns from 2 to 223 Bits Long
- Provides Buffered Clock Output for Input to a Phase Reference Module or other Devices
- Accepts Clock from Clock Recovery Circuits (CR) in the 80A05 and 80A07 Electrical Clock Recovery Modules, and in the Optical Modules
- Optional SlotSaver Adapter Provides Power and Control of the PatternSync Trigger Modules, External to the Mainframe, Saving Space for Additional Channels
Applications
- When Used in Combination with 80SJNB: Characterizing Jitter, Noise, and BER Performance of High-speed Serial Designs from 1 Gb/s to 60 Gb/s Data Rates
- Design Validation and Testing of Next-generation High-speed Serial Data Computer and Communications Components and Systems
- When Used in Combination with 80SJNB: Jitter, Noise, and BER Analysis of Multi-gigabit Standards such as Fibre Channel, OIF CEI, XFP, UXPi, SATA, PCI, Physical Layer, XAUI, Gigabit Ethernet, Rapid I/O, InfiniBand, and Other Electrical or Optical Circuits
- Enables Capture of Bits in a Repetitive Pattern for Bit Analysis When Only a Clock is Available for Triggering
- Enables FrameScan™ of Repetitive Patterns When Only a Clock Signal is Available for Triggering
PatternSync Trigger Module
80A06 PatternSync Trigger module is required for the DSA8200 Series when using 80SJNB advanced Jitter, Noise, and BER Analysis software package. When this module is used with the 82A04 Phase Reference module, the jitter floor is ≤200 fsRMS.
The PatternSync Trigger Module is programmable to pattern lengths of up to 223 bits and accepts a user-supplied clock signal from 150 MHz to 12.75 GHz. The DSA8200 UI/PI for the 80A06 module offers pattern lengths from 2 to 223 bits and programs the module to within it's hardware range (a prescaler followed by a counter with minimum count of 30) for the least-common-multiple count.
Performance You Can Count On
Depend on Tektronix to provide you with performance you can count on. In addition to industry-leading service and support, this product comes backed by a one-year warranty as standard.
