Rent Tektronix CR125A Clock Recovery Unit for BERTScope
The Tektronix CR125A Clock Recovery BERTScope is an advanced tool designed to meet the demanding requirements of high-speed data standards, including 100 Gb Ethernet (100 GbE), which facilitates communication at a line rate of 25.78125 Gb/s. With an impressive maximum data rate capability of 28.6 Gb/s, the Tektronix CR125A is fully equipped to support OIF-CEI 28G protocols. This cutting-edge instrument encompasses all essential features of the acclaimed BERTScope clock recovery solutions, and it offers an extended locking range of 26 and 28.6 Gb/s for enhanced performance.
The BERTScope CR Series utilizes an innovative architecture that allows for precise measurement and display of PLL frequency response across a span of 100 kHz to 12 MHz, making it the highest loop bandwidth solution available today for jitter testing. As the first clock recovery instruments to provide comprehensive control over critical parameters such as loop bandwidth, peaking/damping, and rolloff, this product is indispensable for engineers tackling jitter testing in accordance with evolving communication standards.
Engineers now have the ability to effortlessly lock onto and identify signals at undefined or unknown data rates. The CR125A supports the recovery of full-rate clocks, including spread spectrum clocks, for data signals ranging from 150 Mb/s to 12.5 Gb/s, and even up to 14.2 Gb/s when utilizing the extended data rate option. Key parameters including variable loop bandwidth, peaking/damping, and both first- and second-order rolloffs can be finely tuned to optimize jitter tracking and compliance with stringent industry requirements.
