SV1C-4 Personalized SerDes Tester
The SV1C-4 Personalized SerDes Tester is a compact, high-performance test instrument tailored for today’s high-speed digital product engineering teams. It supports continuous data rate selection up to 4 Gbps and delivers true parallel bit-error-rate measurement across 8 lanes, despite its handheld form factor. With per-lane TX amplitude and pre-emphasis control, RX clock recovery and equalization, and integrated jitter injection for both transmitter and receiver testing, the SV1C-4 empowers deep insight into signal integrity.
Engineers benefit from BERT, eye diagram, and analog waveform analysis tools for advanced debugging, as well as flexible loopback configurations for streamlined test setups. The SV1C-4 operates within Introspect’s Python-based Pinetree software, making it ideal for users of all skill levels to script, automate, and manage SerDes validation efficiently. Designed for testing PCI Express, MIPI M-PHY, and other modern interfaces, the SV1C-4 enables scalable, system-level verification in even the most space-constrained environments.
