J-BERT N4903A High-Performance Serial BERT Data Sheet 7
Pattern generator key characteristics:
• Differential outputs for data, clocks and trigger
• Variable output voltages covering LVDS, ECL, CML
• Transitions times < 20 ps
• Clean pulses with Jitter < 9 ps pp
• High-precision delay control input to inject jitter from
an external source
• Calibrated and integrated jitter injection
(option J10, J20, both retrofitable)
• Subrate clocks for generating any reference clock
• Pattern sequencing and 32 Mbit pattern
• SSC clocks for computer buses (option J11)

1)
Unused outputs must be terminated with 50Ω to GND.
2)
At 10 Gb/s and 7 Gb/s
3)
For positive termination voltage or termination to GND, exter-
nal termination voltage must be less than 3 V below VOH. For
negative termination voltage, external termination voltage must
be less than 2 V below VOH. External termination voltage must
be less than 3 V above VOL.
