The spread of IoT devices and Cloud Computing services is causing explosive growth in data traffic handled by digital devices, in turn requiring faster serial device interfaces. The PCIe and USB interfaces used by digital devices are handling ever larger data volumes so the resulting next-generation PCI Express Rev 4.0 standard reaches higher speeds of 16 GT/s, while USB3.1 Gen 2 supports 10 Gbit/s, and USB3.1 Type-C is also compatible with Thunderbolt which also supports 20 Gbit/s.
Multi-interface Support using Wideband MP1800A/MP1900A BERT
With 32 Gbit/s PPG, ED, jitter and noise addition functions, and a full lineup of application software, the Signal Quality Analyzer MP1800A supports every measurement need for high-speed, next-generation, digital interfaces (CEI-28G/56G, InfiniBand, 100/400G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Thunderbolt 3, PCI Express, USB) from early development through production.
High Speed Interface Receiver Test Solutions
Installing this application software in the MP1800A/MP1900A supports generation of Link Sequence patterns required for evaluation of PCI Express and USB devices and Jitter Tolerance tests. The MX183000A can be used for SERDES IC Jitter Tolerance tests as well as for tests of digital equipment internal and external interfaces by generating the Link Sequence required for evaluation of devices supporting next generation PCI Express and USB standards.
