See the TRUE performance of your designs.
The 86100D DCA-X is the premier solution for accurate and precise measurements on highspeed digital designs from 50 Mb/s to over 80 Gb/s. Applications include:
- Optical - Transceiver design and manufacturing compliance test
- Electrical - ASIC/FPGA/IC design and channel characterization
- TDR/TDT/S-parameter - Serial bus design, cable, and PCB channel characterization
The DCA-X provides powerful analysis and measurement insight for the novice and expert user alike:
- Scope, eye diagram and mask testing
- Jitter and amplitude analysis
- Equalization, de-embedding, and embedding
- Phase locked loop (PLL) analysis
- Phase noise analysis
These basic instrument modes are further complemented by the following features that provide additional insight and analysis capability:
- De-embedding, embedding, equalizer capability
- Phase Noise/Jitter Spectrum Analysis
- Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Analysis
- Custom analysis (MATLAB)
Benefits
The DCA-X provides users with a variety of benefits:
Improved margins, differentiated products Standards are continually moving towards faster and faster data rates in response to market demands. As a result, data signals have shorter bit periods and faster edge speeds.
In order for digital communication systems to approach error-free performance, engineers often employ techniques such as emphasis and equalization, and they take great care to minimize jitter and noise impairments on their signals.
The 86100D DCA-X is architected to provide the optimum combination of wide-bandwidth, low noise, and low jitter so that you measure the TRUE performance of your design, not the scope itself.
With bandwidth >90GHz, jitter <50fs, and noise as low as 250uV, the DCA-X provides industry-leading waveform fidelity that yields:
- more accurate waveform measurements
- lower jitter measurements
- improved mask margins, higher yields
With the addition of Option SIM InfiniiSim-DCA, signal degradation due to fixtures or cables can be removed, or de-embedded, providing even more margin. Alternatively, it is also possible to simulate the signal at the end of a fixture or cable (embedding) for additional insight or compliance.
Industry standard compliance
The DCA makes it easy to perform industry standard compliance measurements accurately and quickly. The 86100D provides:
- Over 50 built-in standards-based masks with automated mask margin analysis
- Optical reference receivers with the widest data rate coverage in the industry
- Fast, accurate, and compliant jitter measurements
Lower cost of test
Increased channel density and fast measurement functions and algorithms (such as fast Auto Scale and ER tuning) result in lower cost of test per port.
- High density channel count configurations
- Optimized algorithms for high volume manufacturing
Faster time to market
Start making meaningful measurements quickly and get your product to market faster. With the ability to acquire and analyze up to 16 signals simultaneously, the 86100D DCA-X reduces the time to characterize high-speed designs.
Additionally, the DCA-X user interface has been designed so that novice users quickly become proficient scope users.
- One-button mode buttons quickly configure standards based measurements
- Built-in SCPI recorder to assist in creating automated
- test code
- Customizable displays
Upgradeable and backwards compatible
The modular architecture of the 86100D means that the instrument can evolve to meet your needs. There’s no need to purchase capability until you need it.
- Modular - add capacity and/or new capabilities
- Protect your investment
- 100% backwards compatible with all DCA modules (used with 54750A, 83480A, 86100A/B/C mainframes)
- 100% code compatible with 86100C DCA-J
- Plan for the future – the DCA-X supports future modules and new measurement capability
- Optimized algorithms for high volume manufacturing
