MP1900A Series

2

• Due to the explosive growth of data traffic resulting from the popularity of
smartphones and mobile terminals, data centers are transitioning network
interfaces to faster 200/400/800 GbE standards, and PCI bus interconnects speeds
now exceed 10G. In addition, support for multi-channels is also increasing
transitioning.

• The Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A series is an 8-slot modular type, high-

performance BERT with excellent expandability supporting measurement
applications by installing 32 Gbit/s Multi-channel PPG/ED, 64 Gbaud PAM4
PPG/ED and Jitter/Noise addition modules for signal integrity analysis of
increasingly faster devices. Moreover, as well as functions for evaluating the

Physical layer of high-speed interfaces, the built in Link Training/LTSSM analysis

function supports all in one measurement of high-speed network interfaces such
as 400/800 GbE, and bus interfaces such as PCIe.

MP1900A Progress Points [2]

With the increase in various serial-bus interface speeds linking PCs and peripherals,
quality can only be assured by accurate Physical layer evaluations.
The MP1900A with integrated application software controls peripheral equipment
to accurately and quickly perform the measurements required by each standard.

MP1900A Series Features

7

The 8-slot modular type Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A can be easily customized
to support more measurement channels. In addition, adding a remote-box expansion,
such as the PAM4 converter and 64G MUX/DEMUX, offers new required functions and
performance without wasting previous capital equipment costs. With cost-effective
upgrade support for next-generation interfaces, such as 400/800 GbE, the MP1900A

will play a key role in bringing customers’ products more quickly to market .

Supports Wideband & Multi-channel Measurement Requirements

8

The 21G/32G bit/s SI PPG MU195020A has a built in 10Tap (max.) Emphasis option for simulating
various devices and channels as well as for outputting corrected waveforms reproducing channel­path losses to help improve design evaluation efficiency.

The Rx-side 21G/32G bit/s SI ED MU195040A has a built in multi-band CTLE (Continuous Time

Linear Equalization) function supporting 28, 16, and 8 Gbit/s band input signals for performing

BER measurements of Eyes closed by transmission path losses. Since this CTLE function is a
hardware equalizer rather than software emulator, it supports evaluation of TRx BER performance
under near-to-live conditions, such as BER evaluation of test signals, and comparison of DUT BER
measurement results.

To perform high-speed receiver stressed input tolerance tests, the BER is measured under the
worst conditions using a stressed signal with added jitter and voltage noise. Using the MP1900A
series with the Jitter Modulation Source MU181500B, Noise Generator MU195040A with CDR

function for adding various Jitter types and SSC and the Jitter Tolerance Test MX183000A-PL001

software, supports receiver tolerance tests in conformance with the various interface standards.
The MP1900A series offers strong support for receiver stressed input tolerance tests by high-

quality output signal before jitter and noise addition and high-linearity jitter and noise addition
functions.

High-speed serial interfaces require good interconnectivity between devices and equipment, and
it is important to identify whether a dropped Link is caused by physical or logical errors. The all­in-one MP1900A series supports Physical layer evaluations for PCIe Gen1 to Gen4 and future Gen5
receivers, in addition to having Link Training for securing normal operation, also has functions for

detecting and analyzing LTSSM (Link Training Status State Machine) fault transitions to improve

detection efficiency.
