The 112G/224G HSIO ecosystem compels semiconductor and system vendors to rely on new techniques and technologies to validate their designs. Novel equalization methods carry the major responsibility of recovering lossy signals and must be characterized in realistic environments.
The MultiLane channel emulation boards/ISI boards are an ideal tool for this purpose. Featuring a variety of carefully designed differential test traces, this passive test accessory adds precise ISI (inter-symbol interference) in order to calibrate or stress test DSPs, modules, gearboxes or other relevant systems in real-life environments.
The ML4067-224 Channel Emulation board contains 11 trace paths with lengths ranging from 1.2 to 9 inches, and target losses which range from 4 to 30 dB at the target Nyquist frequency of 53.125 GHz. The ML4067-224 is an easy to use, compact and portable design. All traces are terminated by 1-mm or 1.85-mm connectors.
Typical Applications:
• IC validation
• Receiver stress testing
• Rx equalization verification
• Channel emulation of OIF-CEI-112/224G and relevant IEEE 802.3 standards such as dj, bs, ck, etc.
