Serial Data Link Analysis (SDLA)
Acceleration of signaling frequencies and shrinking amplitude create challenges for testing Computer, Communications and Memory busses. Tektronix' advanced Serial Data Link Analysis solutions enable a seamless transition between characterization, compliance, and debug tasks required to bring your product to market.
- SDLA Visualizer for MSO/DPO70000 Series Real Time Oscilloscopes: the SDLA Visualizer enables complete measurement circuit de-embed, simulation circuit embed and receiver equalization. The SDLA Visualizer with DPOJET Jitter and Eye Analysis provide a comprehensive simulation and measurement environment for Computer, Communications and Memory buses.
- 80SJNB Jitter, Timing, and SDLA Visualizer Link Analysis for Sampling Oscilloscopes: When used with the Tektronix DSA8300 Sampling Oscilloscope, 80SJNB allows the user to specify a de-embed filter, Time Domain Waveform or S-Parameter for channel embedding using SDLA Visualizer and DFE/FFE Equalization. 80SJNB analysis software also performs timing and noise-based analysis to get a 3-D view of the eye diagram performance for deep, accurate evaluation on signals with speeds beyond 50GHz.
- SignalCorrect™ Software and TCS70902 Calibration Source for MSO/DPO70000 Series Real Time Oscilloscopes: SignalCorrect™ allows quick characterization of cables, fixtures and other types of interconnects using the TCS70902 Fast step source and the captured response on a MSO/DPO70000 scope. Based on this characterization, SignalCorrect can design a de-embed filter that compensates for the losses that occur in the interconnects, and offers a flat response, enabling signal margin recovery, leading to more accurate measurements.
