The J-BERT N4903A High-Performance Serial
BERT provides the only complete jitter tolerance
test. It is the ideal choice for R&D and validation
teams characterizing and stressing chips and
transceiver modules that have serial I/O ports up
to 7 Gb/s or 12.5 Gb/s. It can characterize a
receiver’s jitter tolerance and prove its compliance
to today’s most popular standards, such as PCI
Express, SATA, Fibre Channel, Fully Buffered
DIMM, CEI, 10 GbE/ XAUI and XFP/XFI.
Accurate characterization is achieved with clean
signals from the pattern generator, which features
exceptionally low jitter and extremely fast transi-
tion times. Test set-up time is reduced signifi-
cantly, because the J-BERT N4903A matches most
recent serial bus standards
optimally:
• Undeterministic patterns can now be analyzed
with the bit recovery mode.
•A pattern sequencer helps to set up training
sequences quickly, to get complex devices into
loop-back test mode.
• Reference clocks can be provided by the sub-
rate clock outputs, which can generate any ratio
of clock to data rate.
• All I/Os are differential and a built-in CDR
allows testing of clockless interfaces.
The J-BERT N4903A is a future proof serial
BERT platform, which is configurable for today’s
test and budget requirements but also allows
upgrades to all options and full speed.
