LIVE WEBCAST: Effective Crosstalk Susceptibility Testing in Multi-Channel Devices
Join us on Wednesday, July 27th for our exclusive webcast on Effective Crosstalk Susceptibility Testing in Multi-Channel Devices. Our topics will include the following:
An efficient and effective method for determining multi-channel device susceptibility to crosstalk
The effect of aggressor channel configuration on victim channel impairment

New Video: Dangers of Missing a Design Flaw
Crosstalk susceptibility testing is especially important when characterizing multi-channel designs. Watch our video to see what you might be missing with your traditional test equipment.
New Products: 12.5G Stressed Programmable Pattern Generator Systems
Centellax is pleased to announce the launch of our new dual programmable pattern generation systems. Many signal integrity characterization measurements of serial data systems require a stressed pattern source. Centellax has eliminated the need for expensive stressed serial BERTs with our affordable, high-performance pattern generator solutions.
The following features are key to characterizing electrical and optical serial data applications:
Stressed Eye Capabilities
Pre-Loaded Patterns: PRBS, CJPAT, CRPAT, K28-X, etc.
User Programmable Arbitrary Patterns up to 24 Mb
Integrated De-Emphasis

Now Available: Parallel Jitter Tolerance Capability for our Signal Integrity Studio Software
The Signal Integrity Studio (SIS) application provides the ability to control multiple Centellax instruments through a Windows-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and enables complex measurements and tests such as Jitter Tolerance. The JTOL measurement capability of the SIS application allows the user to perform jitter tolerance characterization and compliance tests on any number of device channels simultaneously, saving you time and money through efficient testing.

Exclusive Interview
With our President and CEO, Dr. Julio Perdomo. Conducted by Test & Measurement World Magazine
Q: What is driving the growth in the high-speed communications market?
A:It’s the ever-increasing demand for greater bandwidth for both commercial and consumer applications. Look at the Website of any company, and you’re likely to see more and more videos for product demos. You also see tremendous growth in high-speed data transmission from large server centers. Wireless mobile applications are also consuming more bandwidth for data and entertainment, and the base stations that support 4G communications have huge bandwidth requirements for their wired interconnect backbone.
Q: How does Centellax serve this market?
A:Our value proposition is affordability without compromise in manufacturing test. In the multichannel BERT [bit-error-rate tester] arena, we offer affordable, high-performance products for R&D and IC characterization. Our technology includes programmable stressed pattern generation to address such issues as total jitter tolerance and crosstalk in receivers.
Q: Why is characterizing multichannel ICs so challenging?
A:High-speed chips like terabit routers can have as many as 64 channels of 10-Gbps data inputs, which employ technologies like multitap de-emphasis and receiver equalization to overcome the loss over copper. Because Ethernet is not purely synchronous, this type of design can result in many asynchronous clock domains...
