SV3C-8 Personalized SerDes Tester
The SV3C-8 Personalized SerDes Tester from Introspect Technology is an ultra-portable, high-performance instrument designed for comprehensive testing and validation of high-speed SerDes interfaces. Offering 8 independent stimulus generation ports and 8 independent capture and measurement ports, it enables true parallel bit-error-rate measurement across all lanes. Engineers can precisely control per-lane TX amplitude, pre-emphasis, RX clock recovery, and equalization, while also benefiting from integrated TX jitter injection and RX jitter testing.
The SV3C-8 supports any-rate programming, flexible loopback modes, and delivers advanced measurement capabilities such as BERT, eye diagram, and analog waveform analysis. Powered by Introspect’s intuitive Python-based software environment, Pinetree, this compact tester is ideal for validating interfaces like PCI Express Gen 3, USB3, MIPI M-PHY, and DDR controllers, making it a valuable tool for product engineering teams focused on performance, flexibility, and ease of use.
