SV1D-12 Direct Attach SerDes Test Module

The SV1D-12 Direct Attach SerDes Test Module is a compact, high-performance solution for multi-site, parallel SerDes testing in high-speed digital systems. Mounting directly on an application or test board without the need for cables, it enables efficient and cost-effective validation up to 12.5 Gbps. With 8 independent transmitters supporting signal impairments like sinusoidal and random jitter, TX de-emphasis, and lane-to-lane UI/sub-UI skew injection, it offers precise signal control.

Additionally, its 8 independent receivers feature per-channel equalization and true parallel bit-error-rate measurement, enabling rapid eye-margining. The module includes on-board power sequencers and clock synthesizers, requires minimal I/O, and integrates seamlessly with ATE systems via SPI and optional parallel interfaces. Ideal for automated test workflows, the SV1D-12 supports scripting for efficient debugging and production screening.

  • Multi-site, fully parallel test capability with individual pattern and BER control per lane
  • Self-contained solution with on-board power sequencers and clock synthesizers
  • Automated with built-in scripting capability for test time minimization
  • Tiny footprint and minimal I/O requirements

The SV1D-12 Direct Attach SerDes Test Module is a highly integrated tester that mounts directly on an application or test board without requiring cables. It satisfies the growing need for parallel, multi-site Gbps testing methodologies at the lowest possible total cost.

The SV1D-12 provides continuous data rate selection up to 12.5 Gbps. It features 8 independent transmitters with signal impairments including sinusoidal and random jitter injection, TX de-emphasis and lane-to-lane UI and sub-UI skew injection. It features 8 independent receivers with per-channel equalization, true parallel bit-error-rate measurement and controls for rapid eye-margining measurement. Communication with ATE is handled seamlessly via an SPI bus and via an optional parallel interface for extended data transfers.
