High-Speed/Wide Band, High Quality Waveform and
Advanced Functions
Today’s demand for transfer of large amounts of data, such as
video, over the internet, is resulting in expansion of high-speed
transmission circuits and other infrastructure. In addition to the
previously used STM-64/OC-192 (9.95328 Gbit/s) standards, we
are also seeing use of 10.709225 Gbit/s (OTU-2), which includes
FEC coding, as well as 3.125 Gbit/s x 4 and 10.3125 Gbit/s in 10
Gbit Ethernet. Further more, the Fibre Channel file transfer protocol
at 4.25 Gbit/s is also coming into actual use.
As these new standards are settled upon, there is an urgent need
to be able to support evaluation of devices and circuits at these
higher bit rates.
Our MP1763C Pulse Pattern Generator and MP1764C/1764D Error
Detector are a BERTS (Bit Error Rate Test Set) supporting evaluation and testing of transmission equipment, high-speed devices,
optical modules, etc., at every stage from R&D through to manufacturing and production at speeds from 50 Mbit/s to 12.5 Gbit/s.
High-speed And Wide Band
One MP1763C/MP1764C can cover the band from STM-0/STS-1 to
10 Gbit Ethernet, STM-64/STS-192, OTU-2 and can be used with
4.25 Gbit/s Fibre Channel Systems.

High Q factor
•
A high Q factor can be obtained by back to back connection (typical value at 10 Gbit/s, PRBS 223– 1: 40 dB).
10 Gbit Ethernet I/O Interface Support
1/4 Differential Output (MP1763C-08 Option)
•
This outputs differential data at a rate of 1/4 of the standard output
(100 Mbit/s to 3.125 Gbit/s) as 4-bit parallel data. It can be used as
a data signal for evaluating high-speed devices such as XAUI and
SFI-4 P2 4 Lane devices used in 10 Gbit Ethernet and Fibre
Channel, and for evaluating high-speed buses and backplanes
such as PCI express.
Differential Input (MP1764C-02 Option)
•
This can be used for evaluation by inputting a high-speed differential signal used by XAUI, SFI-4P2 4Lane devices, PCI Express, etc.
Clock Recovery Function (MP1764C-03 Option)
•
The clock recovered from input data can be used as a trigger signal for error rate detection and waveform monitoring. Evaluation
does not require an external clock, and when used jointly with differential input, high-speed differential devices can be evaluated
without an external jig.
Bit rates from 62.5 Mbit/s to 11.1 Gbit/s are supported along with
4.25 Gbit/s used by Fibre Channel.
∗The MP1764D model ships with the MP1764C-02 (Differential input) and
MP1764C-03 (Clock recovery) options installed.

Burst Signal Generation Using External Gate Signal
This feature is effective for optical fiber-loop testing, etc.
Parallel Output I/F (1/8, 1/4, 1/4 Differential)
1/8 parallel output is standard. 1/4 parallel output (Option 03) or
•
1/4 differential output (Option 08) can be selected exclusively.
It can be used as a MUX device and a data generator for WDM
•
transmission.
The 1/4 differential option provides 4-bit parallel output of differ-
•
ential data for the 1/4 rate standard output (100 Mbit/s to 3.125
Gbit/s). Similarly, a 1/4 rate clock can be output as a differential.
This can be used for performing detailed inspection of specifications and performance by use as a data signal for evaluation of
high-speed devices such as XAUI and SFI-4 P2 4 Lane devices
used in 10 Gbit Ethernet and Fibre Channel, and for evaluation of
high-speed buses and backplanes such as PCI express.
