Every day, clock speeds get faster and data rates increase. This relentless acceleration makes signal integrity and flawless operation increasingly difficult to achieve—in the lab or on the production floor. In fact, test engineers and production managers can no longer rely solely on conventional test equipment and expect fast, accurate, repeatable results.

That's why we developed the SIA-3000, the reference standard for signal integrity analysis. This powerful test and measurement solution—together with a suite of advanced, application-specific software and accessories—enables design and test engineers to fully characterize devices faster and easier than ever before.

When you put the SIA-3000 to work, you will see these immediate benefits:

The SIA-3000 provides the functionality of an oscilloscope, BER tester, time interval analyzer and spectrum analyzer --plus advanced jitter separation capabilities these instruments can't offer. Its scalable platform features up to 10 single-ended or differential, fully parallel channels. And it can analyze electrical or optical components, in the lab or in production.

The SIA-3000 uses patented algorithms to measure jitter significantly faster than conventional equipment, so you can increase throughput, reduce cost of test and improve time to market. It also enables comprehensive testing at production-level speeds, so you can integrate it in production to lower development costs and provide correlation to lab results.

The SIA-3000 can measure data rates up to 4.5 Gb/s with 200 femtosecond resolution. Its triggerless architecture eliminates errors common to trigger-based instruments. And it delivers the precise, quantifiable--and repeatable--results you need to ensure interoperability.

Features

Test up to 10 channels in parallel — Unlike any other instrument available today, the SIA-3000 can test multiple channels for jitter and accuracy at the same time.

 

Input signal rates up to 3GHz or 4.5gb/s —Measure signal integrity at data rates up to 4.5 Gb/s with 200 femtosecond resolution enabling testing of faster channels and more accurate jitter measurements.

 

Enhanced throughput — Delivers unprecedented speed of test, allowing designers, integrators and test engineers to fully characterize complex communication paths in record time.

 

Integrated display and proven Wavecrest advanced analysis tools - The built-in flat panel display provides access to an intuitive GUI with scope-like usability.

 

Flexible, modular configuration — Configure the SIA-3000 depending on your needs. Choose the combination the best suits your needs for throughput and measurement rate. Options and upgrades can be added easily if your requirements change.

 

Ensure signal integrity in multiple applications — The SIA-3000 has a wide range of application specific capabilities including:

 
  • Infiniband - Test to compliance on all channels simultaneously at speeds up to 4.5Gb/s per channel.

  • Rambus DRCG - Perform full DRCG validation in seconds.

  • Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet - Test to compliance on all patterns and all channels simultaneously.

  • DDR SRAM - Fully Characterize the data bus timing performance and Wide Bus BER.

  • Microprocessor - Optimize clock and data timing using advanced WAVECREST algorithms for Wide Bus BER.

  • DVI/TMDS/LVDS- Characterize all data and clock channels of the interface for timing, jitter, skew rate, signal integrity and BER at the same time.

  • Serial ATA - Fully diagnose signal-degenerating effects such and crosstalk, EMI, Gaussian noise and reference clock stability.

  • Clock Distribution and PLL - Measure all types of jitter, including adjacent cycle jitter, signal integrity and short cycle probability, all in one solution.

  • LAN - Test BER and waveform fidelity, as well as analyze signal integrity, on all signals simultaneously.

  • SONET - Diagnose complex jitter problems on multi-port SONET switches and transceivers.

  • XAUI - Test to compliance on all patterns and all channels simultaneously, at speeds up to 4.5Gb/s.
