Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
This chapter describes the electrical operation of the instrument and sampling
modules. The diagrams in Chapter 9 show the interconnections of the major
circuit blocks.
Logic Conventions
The instrument contains many digital logic circuits. This manual refers to these
circuits with standard logic symbols and terms. Unless otherwise stated, all logic
functions are described using the positive-logic convention: the more positive of
the two logic levels is the high (1) state, and the more negative level is the low
(0) state. Signal states may also be described as “true”, meaning their active
state, or “false”, meaning their nonactive state. The specific voltages that
constitute a high or low state vary among the electronic devices.
Mainframe Overview
This mainframe overview describes the basic operation of each functional circuit
block as shown in Figure 5--1 on page 5--2.
General
Input Signal Path
The instrument control system is a dual Wintel/PowerPC based processor board.
The platform features VGA resolution flat-panel display, transparent touch
screen and user front-panel with direct access to commonly used scope functions.
The instrument is also equipped with a mouse pointing device to facilitate access
to more advanced scope functions.
A signal enters the instrument through a direct coaxial connection to the input
connector on a sampling module, or a real time probe connected to the sampling
module channel.
Acquisition System. The acquisition system conditions the input signals, samples
them, converts them to digital signals, and controls the acquisition process under
direction of the processor system. The acquisition system includes the multisource trigger, acquisition timebase, and acquisition mode generation and control
circuitry. The acquisition board is located in the bottom compartment of the
instrument and can accommodate four small slot sampling plug-ins, two large
slot plug-ins and a trigger/holdoff subsystem. Up to 8 vertical channels are
accommodated simultaneously. Channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 can be either large or
small slots. The presence of a module in one or both large slots displaces the
small slot functionality in the corresponding small slots. The external trigger and
DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer and Modules
2- 1
Theory of Operation
all small slot channels feature a Tekprobe Level 2 probe power connector for
additional front end signal conditioning functions like high input-impedance
real-time probes, if equipped on the sampling module.
Processor System. The processor system contains a dual Wintel/PowerPC. The
basic instrument configuration supports up to eight channels labeled Ch1 through
Ch 8, provides two external trigger inputs for direct and prescaled triggering
through built--in prescaler and is able to support two optional internal trigger
sources associated with the large slot channels.
Display Panel
Front Panel
Rear Panel
Color LCD display Active-matrix touch panel.
Display System. The display system sends the text and waveform information to
the display panel.
Touch Panel. The Display board sends information to the processor. Any changes
in their settings are reported to the processor system.
The front panel board reads the front-panel switches and knob sensors. Any
changes in their settings are reported to the processor system. The front panel
board also turns the LEDs on and off and generates the bell signal. One USB
port is also accessible from the front panel.
Front-panel menu switches are also read by the PPC processor board. The
processor sends any changes in menu selections to the processor system. The
ON/STBY switch is one of the menu switches. However, it is not read by the
front panel board, but passes through the front panel board to the low voltage
power supply.
The hard drive and CD-RW/DVD drive provide access to stored waveform data
and enable you to load software to customize your instrument for your measurement needs. The GPIB allows for external control of the instrument.
Low Voltage Power Supply
2- 2
You can make hardcopies on the GPIB and RS-232 ports. Other ports are outputs
from the ATX board: SVGA, USB (4), sound, serial, parallel, Ethernet, mouse,
and keyboard.
The low voltage power supply is a switching power converter with active power
factor control. It supplies power to all of the circuitry in the instrument.
The principal POWER switch, located on the rear panel, controls all power to the
instrument including the Low Voltage Power Supply. The ON/STBY switch,
DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer and Modules
Theory of Operation
located on the front panel, also controls all of the power to the instrument except
for part of the circuitry in the Low Voltage Power Supply.
The power supply sends a power fail (~PF) warning to the processor system if
the power is going down.
Fans
The fan assembly provides forced air cooling for the instrument. The fans are
controlled by the PPC processor.

For the two-channel modules, a single strobe delivered from the instrument
mainframe to both acquisition channels controls the timing of the strobe
assertion to both channels. If channel-to-channel deskew is zero and the channel
delays (if equipped) are matched, the sampling coincidence between channels is
very close. Acquisition deskew function is carried out either by making separate
acquisitions over individual acquisition windows or by adjusting Channel Delay
(if equipped).
For the one-channel modules, an individual strobe delivered from the instrument
mainframe to the acquisition channel controls the timing of the strobe assertion
to the channel. Acquisition deskew function is carried out by moving the strobe
timing for the channel to a unique acquisition window or by adjusting Channel
Delay (if equipped).
DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer and Modules
2- 3
Theory of Operation
Most electrical channels feature a Tekprobe Level 2 probe power connector for
attachment of a real time probe. The control of this probe is a mainframe
function.
All module calibration signals are derived from a 2.5 V precision voltage
reference internal to the sampling module. Settings derived from this reference
are stored in a non-volatile EEPROM in the sampling module, although the
responsibility for the execution of these settings is with the mainframe.
For major functional circuit blocks refer to Figure 5--2 on page 5--3.
80E04, 80E08, and 80E10
TDR/Sampling Modules
The TDR/Sampling modules are low noise samplers, with each channel capable
of generating its own Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) step. The basic
features of these modules are listed in the following table.

reference internal to the sampling module. Settings derived from this reference
are stored in a non-volatile EEPROM in the sampling module, although the
responsibility for the execution of these settings is with the mainframe.
When used in the acquisition mode (that is, with the TDR step generator turned
off) each channel functions as a normal sampling input. In the TDR mode, a fast
rise time step is generated internally for each channel and applied to the input
signal path for that channel. The acquisition portion of the TDR/sampling
DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer and Modules
module remains functional for monitoring the primary step and its reflected
components. The sampling module provides two self-contained TDR channels.
The polarity of the output step can be selected independently for each channel.
This allows differential or common mode testing of two coupled lines as well as
independent testing of isolated lines.
For major functional circuit blocks refer to Figure 5--2 on page 5--3.
Optical Sampling Modules Overview
80CXX and 80CXX-CR optical modules share the same mechanical package and
are built with a common circuit board. Different functionality within the modules
(current and future modules) is achieved by installing different O/E modules,
filters and clock recovery boards along with setting the sampler bandwidth as
demanded. The key features supported in the module are:
HA one channel, low noise, adjustable bandwidth sampler allowing multiple
bandwidth settings for optimizing noise versus bandwidth demands.
Theory of Operation
HAn amplified or non-amplified O/E converter.
HSupport for internal RF switches in the signal path with a straight-through
path and three hardware-filtered reference receiver paths between the O/E
converter and the sampler.
HAn average optical power meter.
HIntegral clock recovery option with internal coaxial connection to the
mainframe trigger, front panel clock and data output (not all have data).
HCommunication with the mainframe for identification, control and calibra-
tion/compensation storage.
The “system response” depends on all of the components in the signal path from
the front panel to the sampler. Bandwidth and reference receiver responses are
calibrated at the factory with a sub-picosecond optical impulse applied to the
front panel connector or with an optical heterodyne system. This ensures that all
components are included, but also means that components can not be replaced
without performing calibration.
Compensation performs a DC transfer curve characterization for each bandwidth/
reference receiver setting. The curve data is stored in the module’s EEPROM and
used to generate a look-up table in the mainframe. This data corrects for
linearity, gain and offset errors in the sampler.
Reference receivers can be created in any of the following ways:
HA hardware filter inserted between the O/E and the sampler and dominates
the response.
DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer and Modules

Theory of Operation
HNo filter is used, but the sampler’s bandwidth is adjusted.
HThe O/E bandwidth is adjusted and dominates the response.
Information about the available bandwidth and reference receiver selections, and
the method used to set the bandwidth for the optical modules starts on
page 2--7.
The power monitor is a second measure of the photodiode current that is
independent of the sampler signal path. Analog circuitry continuously senses the
current flowing into the bias side of the photodiode. The signal is amplified by a
programmable gain amplifier and input to an 8 bit AD converter. The AD
converter and amplifier are controlled through the I
2
C interface. Compensation
performs two functions in the power meter: First, two offset inputs are adjusted
in the amplifier so that the signal stays in range for all of the gain settings. Next,
offset is measured for all gain settings and stored so it can be subtracted from the
raw measured current. Because the measurements are made through independent
paths the power monitor is useful in debugging module/mainframe problems.
The main board of the module only provides power and control bits to the clock
recovery board. A small fraction of the input signal is split off and applied to the
clock recovery components. The type of splitter for each module is shown in
Table 2--3.

80A05 Electrical Clock Recovery Module
The electrical clock recovery module is capable of performing clock recovery on
the input signal (signal input must meet data rate and format requirements), and
provides this signal as a trigger source to the DSA8200.
Front panel connectors provide a replica of the recovered clock signal.
The module uses one of two separate clock recovery circuits dependant on the
specified data rate. The single-ended or complementary input signals are split
with a 1:2 divider and routed to the two circuits.
The low bandwidth circuit recovers clock and data from input data in the
50 Mb/s to 2.7 Gb/s range. The recovered clock from this circuit is routed
directly to the front panel and internal trigger.
The high bandwidth circuit recovers clock and data from input data in the
2.7 Gb/s to 12.6 Gb/s range. The recovered clock to the front panel and internal
trigger signals are always clock/16.
With option 10G, the 10G recovered clock is also routed to the front panel.

clock recovery circuitry is on and programmed to the requested bit rate.

The 80A06 PatternSync Trigger Module is designed to provide a frame trigger

then routed externally to the main instrument’s external trigger direct input.
An additional buffered copy of the input clock is output to the front panel for
connection to additional equipment such as an 82A04 Phase Reference Module.
The 80A06 consumes a small slot or may be operated on a SlotSaver cable
connected to the main instrument’s probe power connector.
Pattern triggering works for clocks in the range of 150 MHz to 12.75 GHz.

The 82A04 Phase Reference Module is designed to decrease horizontal position
uncertainty with data signals, when a reference clock signal synchronized to the

channels in that slot.
The Phase Correction modes available are free run, where the module provides
unit circle location information for the phase of the data sample, and triggered,
where the module, in conjunction with the trigger signal, provides both base
positioning, and refined positioning, for the data sample.
The input is precision 1.85 mm. Phase correction works over the range of
2.5 GHz -- 25 GHz (82A04), or 2.5 GHz -- 60 GHz (82A04--60G). The LED
