N1012A OIF CEI 3.1 Compliance and Debug Application for 86100D DCA-X Oscilloscopes Data Sheet Reduce Your OIF CEI 3.1 Test Times from Hours to Minutes

you to: – Quickly set up equipment and make transmitter measure - ments – Test your device to compliance or chosen limits – Debug your device using cus - tom configurations – Remove effects of cables and fixtures – Automatically determine opti - mal value of CTLE Peaking – Generate reports to share with others Rapidly increasing worldwide demand for video and data transfer is placing new requirements for network expansion. Designers are creating innovative network elements that allow up to 100 Gb/s, which will be delivered using four lanes of 25-28 Gb/s. Extra challenges abound when transferring these signals on printed circuit boards, even for short distances. The Implemen - tation Agreement for Optical Internetworking Forum Common Electrical Interface (OIF CEI) specifies the tests and limits for these devices. These parameters can take a full day when characterized manually, and the recalculation of factors and CTLE values adds to the time the designer spends on testing. Keysight Technologies, Inc. has created the N1012A OIF CEI 3.1 Compliance and Debug Application for you to simplify measurement of these transmitter parameters and to obtain full results to test limits in a few minutes. This will keep you focused on getting your products to market knowing that your results are built on the heritage and consistency of Key - sight measurement technology.

3 | Keysight | N1012A OIF CEI 3.0 Compliance and Debug Application for 86100D DCA-X Oscilloscopes – Data Sheet Satisfying the broad requirements of the OIF CEI Implementation Agreements can be very complex. The data rates for each interface have a range, rather than a fixed rate common to many standards. The test list between each OIF CEI interface varies as do the test limits; some limits depend upon previous measurements to perform the final calculations. Designers need to satisfy requirements on highly-advanced integrated circuits, host boards and mod - ules when operating over long, medium, short and very short reaches. An extract from the 28G-SR specification table from the OIF CEI Implementation Agreement is on the right. Hosts and modules have unique interface connectors and require compliance boards to enable connection to test equipment as shown here. Designers endeavor to mini - mize the trace lengths on the compliance boards and cable lengths. By pairing your test fixture or compli - ance board with the 86100D, 86108B and N1012A software, you will have the sim - plest and most powerful solution available to optimize your designs and offer the best products to customers. Phase trimmers and a pair of cables complement your set up for the most consistent and accurate measurements. You can easily remove the effects of cables or fixtures through intui - tive Configure choices. Development and characterization of advanced integrated circuits is time-con - suming and expensive. Designers utilize test boards similar to the one on the right to fully characterize their parts for use in their own circuits or in their customer’s circuits.
