DesignCon Attendees Preview the Wavecrest
SIA-3000:
A New Reference Standard for Signal Integrity Analysis
San Jose, January 29 - WAVECREST is previewing the
SIA-3000 today at DesignCon. An all-in-one test and measurement
instrument with high bandwidth and versatile parallel channel
support, the SIA-3000 is a new reference standard for signal
integrity analysis.
"The SIA-3000 delivers the functionality of an oscilloscope,
bit error rate (BER) tester and time interval analyzer, plus
other enhanced features," said Dennis J. Leisz, president
and CEO of WAVECREST. "The SIA-3000 will enable design
engineers and production test engineers to reduce the time-to-market
for new products through this high precision and high throughput
measurement technology."
The SIA-3000 delivers a wide range of application-specific
features for datacom, telecom, microprocessor manufacturing
and other high-tech industries. Applications include Infiniband,
Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial ATA, RAMBUS RIMM and
DRCG validation, DDR SRAM, DVI/LVDS/TMDS, Clocks/PLL, SONET
and XAUI.
The SIA-3000 provides a host of advanced features,
including:
| · Complete signal integrity solution: The SIA-3000
performs a wide variety of measurements on data or clock
signals including jitter, adjacent cycle jitter, skew,
BER, pulse width, rise and fall times, propagation delays
and phase noise. It also determines the effects of EMI,
crosstalk and frequency modulation |
| · 10 parallel channels: Unlike any other instrument
available today, the SIA-3000 can test up to 10 channels
for jitter and accuracy at the same time. It measures
signal integrity on 10 user-switchable, single-ended or
differential, fully parallel channels. This significantly
speeds up testing and helps simplify test setup. |
| · High performance: The SIA-3000 measures signal
integrity at data rates up to 4.5 Gb/s with 200 femtosecond
resolution. This enables faster testing of channels, more
accurate jitter measurements and practical large sample
testing. |
· Enhanced throughput: Unprecedented
speed of test allows designers, integrators and test engineers
to fully characterize complex communication paths in record
time.
|
| · Integrated, easy-to-use design:
A built-in flat panel display provides access to an intuitive
GUI with scope-like usability. Integrated analysis software-and
the hardware to run it-eliminates the need for a separate
PC. |
| · Modular configuration: Users can specify from
4 to 10 channel cards, depending on their needs for throughput
and measurement rate. Options and upgrades can be added
easily when requirements change. |
WAVECREST provides innovative and leading-edge
electronic test and measurement products for the design and
production of electronic and photonic components and systems.
WAVECREST signal integrity, jitter and timing analysis solutions
are widely used to measure, diagnose and test diverse applications.
