Introduction 1
• Two pattern generator channels per module to emulate aggressor
• Linearity tests with adjustable PAM4 levels
• Short connections to the DUT with remote heads for the pattern
generator
• True PAM4 error detection in real-time for low BER levels
• Graphical user interface and remote control via M8000 system software
• Scalable and upgradeable with options and modules
• Clock recovery with N1076A and N1077A
M8040A Applications
The M8040A is designed for R&D and test engineers who characterize
chips, devices, transceiver modules and sub-components, boards and
systems with serial I/O ports operating with data rates up to 32 Gbaud and
64 Gbaud in the data center and communications industries.
The M8040A can be used for receiver (input) testing for many popular
interconnect standards, such as:
• 400 Gigabit Ethernet (IEEE 802.3bs)
• 200/100/50 Gigabit Ethernet
• OIF CEI - 56G (NRZ and PAM4 versions)
• 64G/112G Fibre Channel
• Infiniband-HDR
•CDAUI-8
• Proprietary interfaces for chip-to-chip, chip-to-module, backplanes,
repeaters, and active optical cables, operating up to 64 Gbaud.
