SV3C-12 Personalized SerDes Tester
The SV3C-12 Personalized SerDes Tester from Introspect Technology is an ultra-portable, high-performance instrument engineered for advanced validation of SerDes interfaces such as PCI Express Gen 3, USB3, M-PHY, DDR3, and DDR controllers. Housed in a handheld form factor, it delivers the highest level of integration with 32 independent stimulus generation ports and 32 independent capture and measurement ports, enabling true parallel bit-error-rate testing across all lanes.
Key features include per-lane TX amplitude and pre-emphasis control, RX clock recovery and equalization, TX jitter injection, and integrated RX jitter analysis. The instrument supports any-rate operation, flexible loopback, and offers built-in BERT, eye diagram, and analog waveform measurement capabilities. Driven by Introspect’s intuitive Python-based software environment, Pinetree, the SV3C-12 empowers engineering teams to automate tests and rapidly develop robust SerDes verification routines across a broad range of high-speed digital systems.
