The SV1D-14 Direct Attach SerDes Test Module is a highly integrated tester that mounts directly on an application or test board without requiring cables. It satisfies the growing need for parallel, multi-site Gbps testing methodologies at the lowest possible total cost.
The SV1D-14 provides continuous data rate selection up to 14.1 Gbps. It features 8 independent transmitters with signal impairments including sinusoidal and random jitter injection, TX de-emphasis and lane-to-lane UI and sub-UI skew injection. It features 8 independent receivers with per-channel equalization, true parallel bit-error-rate measurement and controls for rapid eye-margining measurement. Communication with ATE is handled seamlessly via an SPI bus and via an optional parallel interface for extended data transfers.
