SV1D-8 Direct Attach SerDes Test Module

The SV1D-8 Direct Attach SerDes Test Module is a highly integrated, compact test solution designed to mount directly on application or test boards, eliminating the need for external cabling. Engineered to meet the growing demand for efficient, multi-site Gbps testing, it supports continuous data rate selection up to 8 Gbps. The module offers 8 independent transmitters capable of injecting signal impairments such as sinusoidal and random jitter, TX de-emphasis, and lane-to-lane UI and sub-UI skew. It also includes 8 independent receivers with per-channel equalization, parallel bit-error-rate measurement, and controls for rapid eye-margining.

With built-in power sequencers and clock synthesizers, automated scripting capabilities for minimizing test time, and minimal I/O requirements, the SV1D-8 is ideal for scalable, cost-effective SerDes validation. Communication with ATE is efficiently handled via an SPI bus or optional parallel interface.

  • 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-8 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-8 provides continuous data rate selection up to 8 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.
