M8047B Redriver
Data Sheets
Introduction
The M8047B Redriver expands the backchannel equalization capabilities of M8000 Series error detectors.
Features
• Extends back channel reach up to 21 dB NRZ and up to 10 dB PAM4
• CTLE and linear output driver
• Integrated into M8070B software
• Controlled and powered through USB
Description
The M8047B Redriver enables testing of devices with longer back channels than the M8000 Series error detectors could accept by themselves. It offers a continuous-time linear equalizer and a linear output driver. Using the M8047B Redriver (together with M8046A) the backchannel reach can be extended by approximately 21 dB @ 16 GHz for NRZ signals and 10 dB @ 16 GHz for PAM4 signals. It is designed to operate up to 32 Gbaud.
The M8047B Redriver is suitable for PCI Express®, CCIX, SAS and OIF CEI as well as IEEE 802.3 applications within its range of operation.
The M8047B is controlled through the M8070B graphical user interface. The operation requires the presence of a M8000 Series BERT module or a M8100 Series AWG module in the system. The Redriver appears as an additional module in the M8070B SW.
System Requirements
Software
The M8047B Redriver is controlled through the M8070B software. It requires at least version 9.1. The M8070B software will allow control of a M8047B Redriver only if an AXIe module of the M8000 BERT Series or a M8195A, M8196A, M8194A or M8199A AWG AXIe module is present.
Remote programming
The M8047B can be remote programmed the M8070B software like any other module which is controlled by the M8070B software.
