  • 200GAUI-x and 400GAUI-x Chip-to-Chip (C2C) TX characteristics
  • 200GAUI-x and 400GAUI-x Chip-to-Module (C2M) host/module output characteristics

• IEEE 802.3cd 50 Gb/s, 100 Gb/s, and 200 Gb/s Operation

  • Transmitter characteristics: 50GBASE-CR, 100GBASE-CR2, and 200GBASE-CR4
  • Transmitter characteristics: 50GBASE-KR, 100GBASE-KR2, and 200GBASE-KR4
  • LAUI-2 Chip-to-Chip (C2C) TX characteristics
  • LAUI-2 Chip-to-Module (C2M) host/module output characteristics
  • 50GAUI-x and 100GAUI-x Chip-to-Chip (C2C) TX characteristics
  • 50GAUI-x and 100GAUI-x Chip-to-Module (C2M) host/module output characteristics

The N1091BSCB 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 and NRZ 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 Jnu, JRMS, and EOJ on “12-edges” 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 (EW5) and Eye Height (EH5)
• Return Loss
