02 | Keysight | M8030A Multi-channel BERT - Data Sheet M8030A Multi-Channel BERT The Keysight Technologies, Inc. M8030A multi-channel BERT provides a solution for J-BERT applications that require more than four channels. It supports up to 10 pattern generators and up to 10 analyzer channels for cases where multi-channel test applications, like PCIe ®, passive optical network (PON) or ATE like applications are a must. Due to the increasing complexity of devices and higher data rates, testing is more critical and complex. While single-lane testing might be sufficient at lower speeds, higher data rates increase the probability of crosstalk problems, making the use of multi-lane testing with different aggressor and victim signals more important. When multi-channel measurements are required in order to speed up throughput or test under real application conditions, the M8030A is the perfect tool. M8020A Modules The M8030A multi-channel BERT is 100 percent compatible with available J-BERT M8020A modules. Its ability to support the M8041A and the M8051A J-BERT modules protects your existing module investment. The AXIe embedded controller is also supported and can be easily used along with M8041A/51A J-BERT modules to create an integrated and highly compact test environment. For more details on available configurations, please see the Configuration Guide section in this data sheet.

Applications

The M8030A multi-channel BERT is designed for R&D and test engineers characterizing and verifing compliance of chips, devices, boards, and systems with multiple I/O ports up to 16 Gb/s, which are used in various industry segments dealing with computer devices, communication equipment, and others. Typical applications include: – PCIe multi-channel tests – PON ATE test (when a low number of channels is sufficient) – 40GBASE and 100GBASE ports using 4 and 10 Gb/s ports

Features
