10G Ethernet

Challenges with testing 10G Ethernet lay not only in the complexity of the test setup but also the requirement for intuitive troubleshooting tools to solve the high speed induced signal integrity issues such as crosstalk, equalization and deterministic jitter break down. Teledyne LeCroy’s total solution for 10G Ethernet covers multiple standards associated with 10G interface with the flexibility to easily upgrade to higher lane density testing and higher bitrate testing for 100G architectures.

10-Gigabit Ethernet Decode The 10-Gigabit Ethernet decode option for Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes provides link layer decode information annotated on the 10-Gigabit physical layer waveform. This provides the ability to view protocol traffic on the oscilloscope. It also aids in debugging problems that are not solely analog or digital in nature - issues not evident with a Protocol Analyzer

MDIO Decode The Media Data Input/Output (MDIO) decoder provides a fast and easy way to understand and correlate MDIO bus traffic to the management of PHYs or physical layer devices in media access controllers (MACs).

QPHY-10GBase-KR The Teledyne LeCroy QPHY-10GBase-KR solution automates testing for 10Gigabite Ethernet Copper Backplane base on the IEEE 802.3ap specifications. The test framework simplifies the test setup and execution of generic and common test requirements such as jitter separation, rise/fall time and transmitter equalization parameters. The guided wizard prompts the user to for specification required patterns and takes the measurements accordingly. The test report includes the test results pass/fail summary, margins and limits, as well as waveforms and measurements used during the test process.

QPHY-10GBASE-T QPHY-10GBASE-T automated compliance test software performs electrical compliance testing of the Physical Media Attachment (PMA) for 10GBASE-T Ethernet PHY, based on IEEE802.3-2008 requirements.

QPHY-SFI The Teledyne LeCroy QPHY-SFI solution automates testing for SFI base on the SFF 8431 specifications. The test framework simplifies the test setup and execution of generic and common test requirements such as jitter separation, rise/fall time and transmitter equalization parameters. The guided wizard prompts the user to for specification required patterns and takes the measurements accordingly. The test report includes the test results pass/fail summary, margins and limits, as well as waveforms and measurements used during the test process.

Sample oscilloscopes with an equivalent time base acquisition technology have primarily been used for this application. While achieving high bandwidth and low noise floor, sample oscilloscope lack the data analysis capabilities needed to solve the faster speed induced signal integrity issues such as crosstalk, equalization and deterministic jitter break down. Teledyne LeCroy offers the world’s fastest real time oscilloscope at 65GHz and the world’s first multi-lane eye diagram and crosstalk analysis tools in the SDA III option. Combined with QPHY automated test environments, the user can minimize redundant test setups and result collection efforts, and stay more focused on compliance, characterization, and debug testing.
