The inputs of the M8046A module are sensitive to static electricity.
Therefore, take necessary anti-static precautions, such as wearing a
grounded wrist strap, to minimize the possibility of electrostatic damage.
Component Description
Data In and /Data In Differential data inputs (3.5 mm, female)
Clk In Clock input to sample the incoming data. Full/half and quarter-rate clock.
Single ended. CTRL IN can be used as sequence trigger or pattern capture
event.
Ctrl Out A Outputs a pulse in case of an error. Generates a pulse or static high/low if used
from sequencer.
Ctrl In A Functionality can be selected as: sequence trigger, pattern capture event.
Rec Clk Out This output provides a recovered clock when using the integrated clock recovery
function of M8046A.It can be used to trigger a DCA sampling oscilloscope.
