Product description
The Tektronix PED line of high sensitivity and high bandwidth error detectors offer single and two-channel standalone configurations capable of BER measurement at data rates up to 40 Gb/s. The PED products support either PRBS or user-defined data patterns, with simple to use automatic or manual alignment of input clock and data, and pattern synchronization. The PED product makes an ideal companion for the Tektronix PPG pattern generator product family.
