High data rates require strict signal integrity specifications, specifically in the area of data timing deviations, or jitter. InfiniBand is a new standard to meet the requirements for increased data rates and to improve system reliability, availability and serviceability by connecting servers to Storage Area Networks and other I/O media at data rates of 2.5 Gb/s.

Wavecrest InfiniBand solutions offer measurement capabilities for DJ, DCD&ISI, PJ, RJ and TJ measured to 10^-12 BER as required by the InfiniBand Architecture Specification. WAVECREST's newest generation product, the SIA-3000, is capable of making jitter measurements on up to 10 data lanes in parallel. Because the jitter measurements can be performed in seconds, lab tests can be easily performed in a production environment ensuring compliance of all your InfiniBand products.

The Wavecrest SIA Family, in conjunction with the dataCOM software module makes an excellent analysis and test suite for design, debug, characterization and production test of InfiniBand circuits and systems such as:

Total jitter of cables and connectors to 10^-12 BER
Cable Jitter Method of Implementation

Total jitter of the driver and receiver to 10^-12 BER
Driver Jitter Method of Implementation

Total jitter separation into DJ, RJ, and PJ

Jitter measurements on optical and electrical components
