Description
The N4970A PRBS generator 10 Gb/s is a self contained 10 Gb/s pseudo random bit sequence (PRBS) generator. The N4970A PRBS generator 10 Gb/s can be configured to use an external clock source allowing operation from 50 Mb/s to 12.5 Gb/s. Five different PRBS pattern lengths and three mark density ratios are available via user selectable jumpers. Differential data outputs provide signal levels via the front panel SMA connectors. The N4970A PRBS generator 10 Gb/s’ small size, measuring just 3.5 x 3.5 x 1.0”, allows for close placement to the device under test.
Application
The N4970A PRBS generator 10 Gb/s can be used as a digital source for stimulus/response measurements of high speed logic devices. Characterizing waveform distortion of high speed telecommunication components is simplified with the source’s low jitter and fast rise/fall times. Production environments can take advantage of the source’s simple interface, low power consumption and small size.
