The Keysight M8091BSPA is a receiver compliance test application that automates characterization and validation of high-speed digital receivers conforming to IEEE 802.3bs. Purpose-built for 200GAUI-4 and 400GAUI-8 PAM4 interfaces, this software executes complex stress signal calibration and pre-compliance testing with minimal user intervention through remote instrument control.
Technical Specifications
Standards & Interfaces:
• IEEE 802.3bs (Draft 3.5) compliance
• 200GAUI-4 and 400GAUI-8 PAM4 capable hosts and modules
• C2M (Chip-to-Module) host and module testing
Calibration Routines:
• Crosstalk calibration per IEEE 802.3bs draft 3.5 with TP4 target transition time of 19 ps
• Amplitude calibration
• JRMS (jitter, random, duty cycle distortion, sine) calibration per IEEE 802.3bs draft 3.5
• Sinusoidal jitter (SJ) calibration
• Stressed eye calibration
• Automated iterative optimization of stress channels and transmitter equalization (TxEQ) to maintain minimal TxEQ for increased DUT RX stress
