Product Overview

The M8040A is a highly integrated bit error ratio tester (BERT) for physical-layer characterization and compliance testing. With support for PAM4 and NRZ signals and data rates up to 64 Gbaud, it covers all flavors of 400 GbE standards.

The Keysight M8040A is a highly integrated BERT for physical layer characterization and compliance testing. With support for PAM-4 and NRZ signals and data rates up to 64 GBaud (corresponds to 128 Gbit/s) it covers all flavors of 200 and 400 GbE standards.

The M8040A is designed for R&D and test engineers who characterize chips, devices, transceiver modules and sub-components, boards and systems with serial I/O ports operating with data rates up to 32 GBaud and 64 GBaud in the data center and communications industry.

The M8040A can be used for receiver (input) testing for many popular interconnect standards that use PAM-4 and NRZ data formats, such as: 400 GbE, 50/100/200 GbE, OIF CEI-56G and CEI-112G, 64G/112G Fibre Channel, Infiniband-HDR and proprietary interfaces for chip-to-chip, chip-to-module, backplanes, repeaters and active optical cables.

The remote head M8057A is required for each channel and is required for NRZ and PAM-4 signals.It contains an adjustable gain amplifier without re-timer. Users can select NRZ or PAM-4 coding and de-emphasis taps settings from the user interface with no need to reconnect cables. The cable between the remote head and the module is 0.85 m long. This allows positioning the remote head closely to the test board for the device under test.

Key Features

data rates from 2 to 64 Gbaud PAM4 signal

true PAM4 error detection in real-time up to 58 Gbaud

built-in de-emphasis, analyzer equalization, and clock recovery

integrated and calibrated jitter injection: RJ, PJ1, PJ2, SJ, BUJ, and clk / 2 jitter

two pattern generator channels per module to emulate aggressor lane

interactive link training and SKP OS filtering for 8 / 16 / 32 GT/s PCI Express®

algorithmic PRBS, QPRBS, and memory-based patterns, pattern sequencer

for PAM4, gray coding, FEC encoding, and precoder and error distribution analysis

all options and modules are upgradeable

offers true error analysis and provides repeatable and accurate results, optimizing the performance margins of your devices
