N109212CA Electrical TX Test Software for OIF-CEI-112G

The Keysight N109212CA TX test application can be used with the N1000A DCA-X oscilloscopes to quickly and accurately perform PAM4 measurements according to:

• CEI-112G-VSR (Reference OIF2017.346.14 PAM4, OIF-2017.346.13 PAM4)
  • Section 23.3.2 Host-To-Module at TP1a, Table 23-1
  • Section 23.3.3 Module-to-Host at TP4, Table 23-4
  • Appendix 23.C.2 Host-to-Module at TP0a, Table 23-13
• CEI-112G-MR (Reference OIF2019.340.03 PAM4)
  • Section 25.3.1 Table 25-3 and 25-4 (MR-PAM4)
• CEI-112G-LR (Reference OIF2018.212.10 PAM4)
  • Section 28.3.1 Table 28-3 and 28-4 (LR-PAM4)

The N109212CA is an easy-to-use TX test application that:

• Saves time in understanding details of standards
• Reduces the time it takes to characterize your PAM4 design from hours to minutes
• Helps debug your device using custom configurations
• Allows you to quickly generate HTML reports that summarize the performance of your device

Key measurements include:

• Jitter Measurements including EOJ, J3/4/5U, JRMS of a PRBS13Q
• Output Waveform measurements including Steady-State Voltage (Vf), Linear Fit Pulse Peak and Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion (SNDR)
• Transition Time
• Eye Width (EW6), Eye Height (EH6), Near-End & Far-End Eye measurement
• Return Loss

Comprehensive measurement and debug solution

• Characterizes CEI-112G-VSR/MR/LR TX designs defined by OIF-CEI-112G
