High-Speed Serial Test
Trends and Implications
• 100 GbE is becoming more relevant as data
centers and communications networks ask for
more bandwidth
• SAS 12G is needed by data centers for
efficient transport of internet traffic (YouTube,
Facebook, Smart Phone, etc)
• High-Speed FPGA’s are increasing in
complexity to support early designs above
28Gb/sec
• Proliferation of 10+ Gb/sec signaling in the
communications network
Industry/Technology Trends
• Closed data eyes requiring new techniques for
transmitter and receiver equalization
• Higher data rate signals have less margin –
requires de-embedding
• Edge/Slew rate speeds are difficult to
characterize
• New Jitter Separation Measurements are
required
• Complex 8b/10b signaling difficult to verify in
PHY
Implications
