Tektronix BSA286CL - Low Noise BERTScope 28.6 Gb/s Pattern Generator and Error Analyzer
The Tektronix BSA286CL BERTScope represents a cutting-edge solution for signal integrity measurements in serial data systems. Experience rapid and precise bit error rate detection, effectively integrating eye diagram analysis with BER pattern generation. This advanced BERTScope allows you to swiftly isolate problematic bit and pattern sequences, empowering you with in-depth error analysis that delivers unparalleled statistical measurement capabilities.
Designed with a low intrinsic RJ, the Tektronix BSA286CL offers exceptional support for 802.3ba's simultaneous VECP (Vertical Eye Closure Penalty) and J2/J9 calibration. This feature provides essential margin for thorough characterization of 100G Ethernet silicon, making it an invaluable tool for professionals in the field.
The Tektronix BSA286CL employs a sophisticated internal Double Data Rate (DDR) architecture, capable of operating at impressive data rates of ≥11.2 Gb/s. At these high speeds, the clock output is maintained at half the data rate, with flexibility for external clock specifications—allowing either full or half data rate. When the full rate option is selected, the pattern generator maximizes performance in DDR mode when the input clock frequency reaches 11.2 GHz or higher.
