Test / Measurement - 12.5Gb/s Programmable Pattern Generator

PPG12500
12.5Gb/s Programmable Pattern Generator

Low Cost - Flexible Frequency - Test Systems

Product description

The PPG12500 is a 1-13Gb/s single-channel Programmable Pattern Generator. Key features such as 32Mbit user-programmable pattern memory and two-tap de-emphasis provide the capability for compliance testing in Backplane, Copper and Fiber applications e.g. PCIe, USB3.0, SAS, 802.3ap 10G Ethernet, and Displayport testing. The generator has integrated precision clock and data phase adjust to align the output waveform as desired.

The generator has 32Mbit programmable pattern memory and flexible trigger output. The programming software has many telecom and datacom preloads ready, including CJPAT, CRPAT, K28.5, PRBS2^N-1 [N=7,9,10,11,15,23,29,31], etc. The generator differential output has fully adjustable output amplitude, crossover, DC offset, and two-tap de-emphasis.

All features can be controlled through the PPG12500 control panel or remotely through GPIB or USB. Labview drivers are available.

Applications

Compliance testing to telecom and datacom specifications requiring unique pattern sequences and stressed eye patterns (with jitter injection)
Testing ICs with pre-coded control signals integrated into the data stream
Delivering packetized random data
BER testing with Centellax Programmable Error Detector (coming soon)
