CR6256
56Gbaud Clock Recovery Unit
Semight CR6256 is a compact, cost-effective and efficient desktop high-speed signal clock recovery unit, which supports either Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) or Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4-level (PAM4) signals clock extraction at 24.33-56.25Gbaud. It is widely used in 400G/800G high-speed communication optical transceiver and Interface test and measurement.
- Wide Range – Support NRZ / PAM4 signal clock extraction at 24.33~56.25Gbaud
- Flexible Configuration – Single-Mode and Multi-Mode in one unit Support both optical and electrical signal clock recovery (optional)
- Excellent Performance – Fast locking speed under auto/semi-auto mode Ultra Low random jitter
- High Sensitivity – Very conducive to silicon photonic application with ultra-low input optical power
- Wide Application – Complies with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, PON, Fiber Channel, and OIF standards for 100G/200G/400G/800G and 25G/50G PON optical transceivers testing
- Easy to Use – With either touch lcd screen or flexible remote-control solution, the CR6256 can work with sampling oscilloscopes easily and quickly
- Multiple Frequency Output – Support 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 It can meet the trigger bandwidth requirements of various sampling oscilloscopes in the industry
- More Application – CR6256 can be used with other sampling oscilloscopes in the industry
