Tektronix CR286A Clock Recovery Module, 28.6 Gb/s

RENT TEKTRONIX CR286A Clock Recovery Module (Call for Availability)

The Tektronix CR286A Clock Recovery Module is a state-of-the-art solution designed for precision jitter testing and advanced digital signal integrity analysis. This sophisticated architecture measures and displays the PLL frequency response within a frequency range of 100 kHz to 12 MHz, offering the highest loop bandwidth available in the market today. The CR286A is the pioneering clock recovery instrument that provides users with complete control over critical parameters, including loop bandwidth, peaking/damping, and roll-off characteristics.

When configured with a wide loop bandwidth, the Tektronix CR286A effectively transfers jitter to the recovered clock, accurately emulating a clock signal resembling the Clock Data Recovery (CDR) process of the receiver under test. This capability is essential for engineers working with cutting-edge technologies and communication standards.

Engineered to accommodate the latest high-speed communication protocols, the CR286A supports 100 Gb Ethernet (100 GbE) operating at a line rate of 25.78125 Gb/s, with a robust maximum data rate of 28.6 Gb/s, tailored for OIF-CEI 28G specifications. An enhanced sensitivity option, designated as HS, extends the CR286A's capabilities by providing superior input sensitivity, enabling functionality with small signals as low as 40 mV (single-ended) and 20 mV (differential). By eliminating the power tap-offs from the instrument, users can access the full dynamic range of sensitivity, making it particularly valuable for optical applications and electrical testing setups requiring heightened signal accuracy.
