Measurement device shrinks dev time for high-speed digital product engineering teams
EP&T Magazine
ElectronicsINTROSPECT TECHNOLOGY SV1C Personalized SerDes Tester is an ultra-portable, high-performance instrument that creates a new category of tool for high-speed digital product engineering teams. Unit integrates multiple technologies in order to enable the self-contained test and measurement of complex SerDes interfaces such as PCI Express Gen 3, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, or MIPI M-PHY. Coupled with a seamless, easy-to-use development environment, tool enables product engineers with widely varying skill sets to efficiently work with and develop SerDes verification algorithms. Product fits in one hand and contains 8 independent stimulus generation ports, 8 independent capture and measurement ports and various clocking, synchronization and lane-expansion capabilities. Unit addresses growing need of a parallel, system-oriented test methodology while offering world-class signal-integrity features such as jitter injection and jitter measurement.
