• Testing and signal integrity challenges are
  growing as chips and boards increase in operating
  speeds and densities

Customer Needs - Increasing Complexity

• Compare PCI, PCI Express activity over the same
  time interval . . .

• Traditional voltage vs. time display is
  insufficient for insight into signaling activity

5
Business Challenges from Serial Data
Implementation
USB 2.0

11
Why is Jitter Noise Floor important?

• JNF establishes the lower limit of jitter
  measurements you can make using the oscilloscope.
• Includes effects of noise, aperture uncertainty,
  time base stability, and interleaving error.
• High Performance Real Time oscilloscopes have
  software that extracts the clock from serial data
  post-capture
• JIT3v2, RT-Eyev2
• Time Interval Error (T.I.E.) measures the timing
  of all edges captured in the memory.
• How is JNF measured on a real signal? A very
  stable clock is acquired. The T.I.E of all edges
  is measured. The standard deviation of this TIE
  is the JNF, the lower limit of jitter
  measurements on this scope.
• Like any real measurement, the characteristics of
  the device measured effect the results.
• High speed clock directly from the BERT is used.
• Sine waves are not valid because they do not
  represent fast edges.
• Data signals are not valid because they include
  data-dependent jitter.
