BERTScope Introduces Complete SuperSpeed USB Receiver Test Solution at the USB Compliance Workshop
MENLO PARK, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - SyntheSys Research, Inc., announces new capabilities on the BERTScope
that enable complete SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0) receiver testing on Hosts
and Devices, as shown and used at the USB Compliance Workshop (#70) in
Portland, Oregon. The new Symbol Filtering software option on the
BERTScope allows for asynchronous bit error ratio (BER) testing, a key
component of SuperSpeed USB receiver testing.
As is common in 8b/10b encoded serial data systems such as USB 3.0, the
recovered clock frequency in the receiver may be different from that of
the transmitted clock. Inserted or deleted clock compensation symbols
are used to adjust for this difference, and can cause problems for
typical BERT systems, with the exception of BERTScope. The BERTScope can
now filter out clock compensation symbols and maintain synchronization
for successful asynchronous BER and Jitter Tolerance testing, in
addition to its existing ability to perform BER testing in a synchronous
manner.
Furthermore, a new capability on the BERTScope Clock Recovery
instruments assists in USB 3.0 transmitter testing. The USB 3.0 golden
PLL Jitter Transfer Function (JTF) Bandwidth of 4.9 MHz for transmitter
testing is made possible by the new Extended Loop Bandwidth option on
the BERTScope Clock Recovery products. The higher 24 MHz loop bandwidth
maximum is the highest in available hardware clock recovery instruments
and accommodates the USB 3.0 JTF Bandwidth as well as those of other
serial bus standards such as 3G and 6G SATA.
The BERTScope makes USB 3.0 testing easy with an integrated solution
providing stress generation and innovative BER measurement in one
instrument. This enables a simple setup so that usable measurement
results can be obtained quickly. With troubleshooting tools that go
beyond compliance, the BERTScope is an obvious choice for USB 3.0
testing and characterization.
Availability
The Symbol Filtering and Extended Loop Bandwidth options are available 8
weeks ARO.
