Serial BERT N4906B, Data Sheet V.3 7
The pattern generator generates hardware-based
PRBS up to 2
31
-1 and user defined patterns. It
provides a memory depth of 32 Mbit. Pattern
format is compatible within the N4900 series.
Therefore user defined patterns can be trans-
ferred across the N4900 serial BERT series.
Features:
Differential outputs
Adjustable output
Amplitude and levels
Clock/data relative delay adjustment
Adjustable crossing point
Output blanking (burst mode)
Error insertion
Trigger output
Alternating pattern
