Without the module, the jitter is <800 fsRMS (typical). samplers, offer up to 50 GHz bandwidth and 15 ps reflected rise time and 12 ps incident rise time. The family of low-noise variable-bandwidth electrical modules provides the industry's best noise performance with remote samplers, featuring 450 VRMS noise at 60 GHz, and 300 VRMS at 30 GHz. DSA8200 optical modules provide complete optical test solutions with superior system fidelity from 125 Mb/s to 43 Gb/s and beyond. [. . . ] The module accepts either single-ended or differential signals as its input, providing clock recovery for both. The signal(s) is/are then passed on to the output connectors (at about 50% of the input level) and can be connected to sampling module(s) for differential or single-ended sampling. Option 10G is required for support of standard rates from 9. 953 Gb/s to 12. 6 Gb/s. The 80A05 and 80A07 can also serve as the Clock Recovery module for the 80C12 Optical Sampling module. 80A06 PatternSync Module The 80A06 PatternSync Trigger module, when used in combination with 80SJNB software, enables characterizing jitter, noise, and BER performance of high-speed serial designs from 1 Gb/s to 60 Gb/s data rates. It extends the capability of the DSA8200 sampling oscilloscope by creating a pattern trigger from any data-related clock ­ a recovered clock, user-supplied clock, sub-clock, or super-clock. The PatternSync Trigger module is programmable to pattern lengths of up to 223 bits and accepts a user-supplied clock signal from 150 MHz to 12. 5 GHz. The 80A06 module is required with the DSA8200 when using 80SJNB Advanced Jitter, Noise, and BER Analysis software package. This module can be used in combination with the 82A04 Phase Reference module for the best time-base accuracy or for acquisition of signals under SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking). 80A07 Clock Recovery Module 80A07 recovers clocks from serial data streams for all of the most common electrical standards in the continuous 100 Mb/s to 12. 5 GB/s range. Auto-locking capability is selectable from the user interface or programmatic interface, so the design and test engineers can search and lock onto signals of undefined or unknown data rate. The module accepts either single-ended or differential signals as its input, providing clock recovery for both. The signal(s) is/are then passed on to the output connectors and can be connected to sampling module(s) for differential or single-ended sampling. 80A07 offers complete configurability and state-of-the-art specifications and is the preferred solution for most serial data standards due to excellent stability, superior jitter and slew rate tolerance for recovering clocks from stressed or degraded signals, and unequaled PLL bandwidth and roll-off shape control for either Golden PLL compliance testing or custom PLL response. The 80A07 can also serve as the Clock Recovery module for the 80C12 Optical Sampling module. P80318 Differential Handheld TDR Probe The P80318 is an 18 GHz 100 input impedance differential TDR hand probe. This probe enables high-fidelity impedance measurements of differential transmission lines. The adjustable probe pitch from 0. 5 mm to 4. 2 mm enables a wide variety of differential line spacing and impedances. The P80318 probe also includes two precision SMA cables with parallel control lines that provides the 80A02 module the control for EOS/ESD protection. P8018 Single-ended Handheld TDR Probe The P8018 Handheld TDR Probe is a 20 GHz, 50 input impedance, single-ended passive probe that provides a high-performance solution for electrical sampling, TDR circuit board impedance characterization, and high-speed electrical signal analysis applications. The P8018 probe also includes a precision SMA cable and parallel control line that provides the 80A02 module the control for EOS/ESD protection. 80A02 EOS/ESD Protection Module The 80A02 EOS/ESD Protection module protects the sampling bridge of Tektronix electrical sampling module inputs from damage by electrostatic charge. The 80A02 is intended for use in applications such as electrical TDR circuit board testing and cable testing where large static charges can be stored in the DUT. [. . . ] Requires 80A03 Interface module 5 GHz 50 Differential to Single-ended Active Probe. Note that the P7380 probes are recommended over the P7350 probes for sampling purposes due to their higher bandwidth and signal fidelity 8 GHz 50 Differential to Single-ended Active Probe. Requires 80A03 Interface module 9 GHz Passive Probe; the probe consists of a very high-quality 20 GHz probe tips, plus an extremely flexible SMA cable. For higher frequency performance the 015-0560-xx, or some of the accessory cables listed can be used 20 GHz Single-ended TDR Probe. [. . . ]
