What is the Keysight J-BERT M8020A used for in receiver testing?
The Keysight J-BERT M8020A is a high-performance bit error rate tester (BERT) designed for fast and accurate receiver characterization of single-lane and multi-lane devices operating up to 16 Gb/s, expandable to 32 Gb/s. It supports testing of popular serial bus standards including PCI Express, USB SuperSpeed, SATA/SAS, DisplayPort, MIPI M-PHY, Fibre Channel, and 10/40 GbE. The instrument provides integrated jitter injection, de-emphasis, and built-in clock recovery for comprehensive receiver stress testing.
What are the data output specifications of the M8020A pattern generator?
The M8020A pattern generator with M8041A/M8051A modules supports data rates from 256 Mb/s to 16.20 Gb/s (Option G16/C16) in NRZ format. Single-ended output amplitude ranges from 50 mV to 1.2 Vpp, or 100 mV to 2.4 Vpp differential, with 1 mV resolution. Transition times are typically 12 ps (steep), 17 ps (moderate), or 20 ps (smooth) measured at 20% to 80%. Intrinsic total jitter is typically 8 ps peak-to-peak, with intrinsic random jitter of 300 fs rms.
What jitter injection capabilities does the J-BERT M8020A provide?
The M8020A provides integrated and calibrated jitter sources including random jitter (RJ), periodic jitter with two independent tones (PJ1, PJ2), sinusoidal jitter (SJ), bounded uncorrelated jitter (BUJ), sinusoidal level interference in both common-mode and differential-mode, spread spectrum clocking (SSC with triangular and arbitrary profiles), and Clock/2 jitter. These sources are built-in and calibrated, eliminating the need for external jitter injection equipment in most receiver test setups.
How does the M8020A support de-emphasis for transmitter emulation?
With Option 0G4, the M8020A provides 8-tap de-emphasis with both positive and negative finite impulse response (FIR) filtering. Pre-cursor taps offer up to 6 dB (pre-cursor 2) and 12 dB (pre-cursor 1), while post-cursor 1 provides up to 20 dB. Post-cursors 2 through 5 range from 6 to 12 dB. Each tap can be adjusted independently per channel with 0.1 dB resolution, enabling emulation of various transmitter equalization profiles.
What interactive link training standards does the M8020A support?
The M8020A supports interactive link training for PCI Express at 8 GT/s and 16 GT/s in common reference clock architecture, as well as USB 3.0 and USB 3.1. It can also act on TX equalization change requests from 10GBASE-KR, 25GBASE-KR, and 100GBASE-KR4 devices when timeouts can be disabled and the device link training state machine can be forced to bypass preceding states. Support for 25GBASE-KR and 100GBASE-KR4 requires the 32 Gb/s configuration.
What clock output and reference clock options does the M8020A offer?
The M8041A module provides a clock output from 256 MHz to 16.20 GHz (Option G16/C16) with 1 Hz frequency resolution and 15 ppm accuracy. Single-ended amplitude ranges from 0.1 to 1 V in 5 mV steps. Clock divider ratios include 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 50, 64, 66, and 80. The reference clock input accepts 10 to 105 MHz signals with a reference clock multiplying PLL (Option 0G6) for synchronization with device reference clocks carrying spread spectrum clocking.
What error detection capabilities does the M8020A analyzer provide?
The M8020A analyzer provides built-in clock recovery with adjustable loop bandwidth and a continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) for re-opening closed eyes. It supports eye diagram measurements to provide a fast overview of signal quality parameters including rise/fall times, eye height, and eye width. Pattern capabilities include a real-time scrambler for coded patterns, masking, symbol filtering for retimed loopback, a library of pre-defined patterns, and a graphical pattern editor.
How many BERT channels can the M8020A support in a single chassis?
The M8020A supports 1 to 4 BERT channels in a 5-slot AXIe chassis. A typical 4-channel configuration consists of one M8041A module with two BERT channels and a clock synthesizer, plus one M8051A extender module providing two additional BERT channels. Each channel supports independent jitter injection and de-emphasis settings. The M8051A synchronizes to the M8041A via a sync cable that is delivered by default with each extender module.
