Keysight Technologies - M8040A-64G-GEN
The Keysight Technologies M8040A-64G-GEN is a highly integrated BERT (Bit Error Rate Tester) for physical layer characterization and compliance testing. With support for PAM-4 and NRZ signals and data rates up to 64 GBaud (corresponds to 128 Gbit/s) it covers all flavors of 200 and 400 GbE standards.
The M8040A BERT offers true error analysis and provides repeatable and accurate results optimizing the performance margins of your 400GbE devices. The M8040A can be used for receiver (input) testing for many popular interconnect standards that use PAM-4 and NRZ data formats, such as: 400 GbE, 50/100/200 GbE, OIF CEI-56G and CEI-112G, 64G/112G Fibre Channel, Infiniband-HDR and proprietary interfaces for chip-to-chip, chip-to-module, backplanes, repeaters and active optical cables. Freely defined test points, e.g. jitter frequencies, without the need for pre-calculating pattern. Integrated sources for periodic jitter, random jitter and bounded uncorrelated jitter stress generation.

What are the new features in version 4.0 of the M8040A BERT?
Version 4.0 of the M8040A introduces several key enhancements including more output voltage with the new M8057B remote head, and a reference clock multiplier capability with Option 0G6 providing bandwidth of 2/5 MHz. The M8057B remote head offers improved amplitude capabilities of 160 mV to 1.8 Vpp differential for symbol rates below 58 Gbaud, compared to the M8057A's specifications.
What is the difference between the M8057A and M8057B remote heads?
The M8057B remote head provides enhanced output voltage capabilities compared to the M8057A. For symbol rates below 58 Gbaud, the M8057B offers 80 mV to 0.9 Vpp single-ended and 160 mV to 1.8 Vpp differential, while the M8057A provides 50 mV to 0.6 Vpp single-ended and 100 mV to 1.2 Vpp differential. Both remote heads are required for each channel and contain an adjustable gain amplifier without re-timer, with a 0.85 m cable length.
How does the M8040A support PCI Express 5.0 testing?
The M8040A supports PCI Express 5.0 receiver testing through integrated clock recovery, interactive link training and SKP OS filtering for 8/16/32 GT/s PCI Express. Automated receiver test automation software N5991PB5A is available specifically for PCI Express 5.0 base specification compliance testing, along with N5991PA3A for automated LinkEQ RX and TX testing, enabling comprehensive PCIe 5 receiver characterization.
Can the M8040A lock to an external reference clock?
Yes, the M8040A can lock its system clock to an external reference clock. With Option 0G6, it provides reference clock multiplier functionality with selectable bandwidths of 2 MHz or 5 MHz. The system supports multiple clock modes including internal PLL with internal reference, reference PLL with bandwidth below 1 kHz for 10/100 MHz inputs, direct mode for 8.1 to 16.2 GHz, and m/n PLL with loop bandwidth 100 kHz for 10 MHz to 16.2 GHz input frequency range.
What automated test software is available for the M8040A?
Keysight provides several automated receiver test solutions for the M8040A including M8091BSPA for IEEE 802.3bs pre-compliance receiver testing (400GAUI and 200GAUI), M809256PA for OIF CEI-56G-VSR PAM4 pre-compliance testing, N5991PB5A for PCI Express 5.0 receiver test automation, N5991PA3A for automated LinkEQ RX and TX testing, N4917BSCA optical receiver stress test solution, and N5990A-104 for Thunderbolt 3 receiver testing. These solutions simplify compliance testing and characterization.
What is the Error Distribution Analysis feature on the M8040A?
The Error Distribution Analysis M8070EDAB is a licensed software package that offers burst error analysis, frame loss ratio estimation, and error mapping. It calculates metrics including symbol-error per frame distribution with user-definable symbol and frame length, consecutive error distance distribution, counted and estimated frame loss ratio, and provides an error map for insight into burst error mechanisms. It requires M8070B version 6.0 or higher.
What output amplitude accuracy can I expect from the M8040A?
The M8040A provides amplitude accuracy of plus or minus 10% plus or minus 10 mV typical (AC) at 5 Gbaud when measured with DCA-X N1045A using a clock pattern in the middle of the eye. The system supports data delay range of 0 to 10 ns with 100 fs resolution, and skew between normal and complement output is 3 ps maximum at the end of the recommended cable pair.
How many channels can the M8040A pattern generator support?
The M8045A pattern generator module supports one or two channels, with the second channel requiring Option 0G2 and an additional M8057A or M8057B remote head. The two-channel configuration enables emulation of aggressor lanes for crosstalk testing. Each channel can independently generate patterns from 2.025 to 32.4 Gbaud (Option G32) or up to 58.0 Gbaud (Option G64) with both NRZ and PAM4 formats selectable from the user interface.
