Error detector key characteristics:
• True differential inputs to match today’s ports
• Built-in CDR with tunable loop-bandwidth up to 12 MHz
• Auto-alignment of sampling point
• Bit recovery mode for unknown data traffic (Option AO1)
• SER/FER analysis of coded and retimed data (Option A02)
• Burst mode for testing recirculating loop
• BER result and measurement suite
• Quick eye diagram and mask with BER contours
Clock inputs (CLK IN)
The error detector requires an external clock signal to sample
data or it can recover the clock from the data signal using the
built-in clock data recovery (CDR).

Clock data recovery
The error detector can recover the clock from the incoming data
stream with the built-in clock data recovery (CDR). The recovered
clock signal is available at the aux output.

1. With bit recovery mode (Option A01) enabled the max data rate is 11.5 Gb/s.
When using SER/FER analysis (Option A02), the max. data rate is 11.5 Gb/s.
Over-programming up to 12.5 Gb/s is possible, but SER/FER results are not
guaranteed.
