Agilent Technologies has introduced the new M8000 Series BER test solution bit error ratio test solution for physical-layer characterization, validation and compliance testing for receivers used in multigigabit digital design. With support for a wide range of data rates and standards, the new M8000 Series BER test solution can provide accurate and reliable results that accelerate insight into the performance margins of high-speed digital devices for computer, consumer, server, mobile computing and data-center products.
“The new M8000 Series BER test solutions will enable R&D and test engineers to master next-generation receiver test challenges. With its unique level of integration and scalability, the M8000 Series sets the foundation for engineers to accelerate accurate receiver characterization of high-speed digital designs,” said Juergen Beck, GM & VP of Agilent’s Digital and Photonic Test Division.
The first model in the new M8000 Series is the J-BERT M8020A high-performance BERT. It enables fast and accurate receiver characterization of single- and multilane devices operating at data rates up to 16 GB/s and 32 GB/s.
The J-BERT M8020A high-performance BERT is scalable and expandable to meet future test needs. It supports one to four BERT channels and offers data rates of up to 8.5 GB/s and 16 GB/s with an extension to 32 Gb/s. The M8020A can be controlled from a user interface via USB.
