Option 400 for the 86100 Series
Infiniium DigitalCommunication
Analyzer(DCA-J or DCA-X) is an
advanced software application
that makes fast, accurate, and
repeatable phase locked loop
(PLL)/jitter transfer measurements,
using a precision jitter source
and receiver

Pre-congured setups and
automated report generation for:

– PCI Express PLL compliance

measurements approved by the

PCI-SIG

– SONET/SDH jitter transfer testing
– PCI Express reference clock

measurements

– SSC modulation analysis, and more

The Microsoft Ofce Excel-based
application runs on an external PC, or a
Keysight Technologies, Inc. 86100C/D
DCA, with Microsoft Excel installed.

Fast and accurate phase locked
loop (PLL) measurements

Phase locked loops are used in a variety
of applications including clock extraction
circuits and multiplier/dividers. PLLs
are commonly used to manage or create
timing across the system and can have
a significant impact on the overall jitter
performance. Accurate knowledge of PLL
performance is essential to a good design.

In a matter of seconds, the system
accurately characterizes PLL bandwidths
of over 80MHz, a precision measurement
that could take an hour or more if
performed manually. The software
includes an industry-first collision­avoidance technique to ensure the
jitter source avoids testing at periodic
jitter frequencies inherent in the device,
resulting in precise and repeatable PLL
measurements.

Flexible conguration to
accommodate many device
types

The system can also be easily customized
for unique PLL applications. Its flexible
architecture can test inputs/outputs from
50 Mb/s to 13.5 Gb/s (data signals) or
25 MHz to 6.75 GHz (clock signals).

– Tran smitter s
– Clock recovery
– Repeaters
– Clock multipliers/dividers

Make sure your device is compliant

The application includes pre-configured
setups and automated reports for
common standards.

The PCI-SIG has approved the system
for PCI Express PLL compliance testing.

Gain insight into root cause of jitter

In addition to PLL measurements, the
Option 400 software provides valuable
insight into the root causes of jitter by
making jitter spectrum/phase noise
measurements on data and clock signals.

The phase noise plot provides valuable insights
into the nature of random jitter. Different noise
mechanisms have different profiles.

Download the 86100CU-400 or
86100DU-400 PLL and jitter spectrum
measurement software now and use it
with a jitter source you already own. You
may also contact Keysight for a system
that meets your needs and budget.

Built-in compliance reports

The reports can also be easily
customized for your specific needs.

Simultaneous waveform measurements
provide confidence in your results

86100 Series DCA, well known for its
speed, accuracy, and ease-of-use as
a jitter measurement tool, also allows
you to observe the device’s output
waveform while making the PLL
measurement. This capability helps
ensure you are testing the PLL under
the correct setup conditions; such as
pre-emphasis levels, data pattern, bias

settings and data rate.

More than just a PLL analy zer, the 86100C/D
based system allows you to view and make

waveform measurements on your signal.

Typical system configurations

Option 400 software operates with an
