Introduction 1
M8020A Applications
The J-BERT M8020A is designed for R&D and test engineers who
characterize and verify compliance of chips, devices, boards and systems
with serial I/O ports up to 16 Gb/s and 32 Gb/s in the consumer,
computer, mobile computing, data center and communications industry.
The J-BERT M8020A can be used to test popular serial bus standards,
such as PCI Express
®
, SATA/SAS, DisplayPort, USB Super Speed, MIPI
M-PHY, SD UHS-II, Fibre Channel, QPI, memory buses , backplanes,
repeaters, active optical cables, Thunderbolt, 10/40 GbE/SFP+/QSFP,
100 GbE/CFP2.
M8030A Multi-Channel BERT
The M8030A Multi-Channel BERT extents the J-BERT M8020A platform to
a real multi-channel BERT solution supporting up to 10 pattern generators
and 10 error detectors (EDs) to allow multi-channel application tests like,
PCIe and PON. Wherever multi-channel measurements are required in
order to speed up throughput or test under real application conditions, the
M8030A is a perfect solution.
