The flexible, modular platform can be configured to cover a wide range of applications such as:

• Transceiver Design and Manufacturing
• ASIC / FPGA / IC Design and Characterization
• Signal Integrity measurements on Serial Bus Designs, Cables, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)

Precision measurements on high-speed signals at the touch of one button!

• Scope Mode yields the most accurate waveform measurements
• Eye/Mask Mode provides fast and accurate compliance testing of transceivers
• TDR/TDT Mode for precision impedance measurements with S-Parameter capability
• Jitter and amplitude mode for comprehensive analysis of signal characteristics, and an optional integrated precision timebase allows < 100 fs jitter and high channel counts

Powerful analysis features provide greater insight

• Integrated de-embedding, embedding, and equalization capability
• Jitter Spectrum and Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Analysis
• Jitter analysis on long patterns such as PRBS31
• Custom measurements and analysis using The MathWorks MATLAB software
• Comprehensive, fast and accurate compliance and debug applications for use on DCA-X or PC

Lowest Cost of Test

• Explore major cost of test reduction ideas using the Eye Mask Hit Ratio Technique and Auto Mask Margin
• Testing optical transceivers in parallel can dramatically reduce the amount of equipment required for your production line
• Modular – buy only what you need today knowing you can upgrade later
• Protect your investment - the 86100D is 100% compatible with all DCA modules
