Now that the Jitter+ Noise and Ber Analysis software (JNB ) provides TDR/T and S-parameter channel emulation and IConnect V 4.5 provides some equalization capability there is some overlap between the two applications tools which run on the sampling scopes. Please provide clarification on the differences?

Question

Now that the Jitter+ Noise and Ber Analysis software (JNB ) provides TDR/T and S-parameter channel emulation and IConnect V 4.5  provides some equalization capability there is some overlap between the two applications tools  which run on the sampling scopes.  Please provide clarification on the differences?

Accepted Answer

The following table defines the differences: Jitter, Noise, BER IConnect Focus Tx / System Cable, Backplane, system Signal source Tx TDR Application Serial&#160; link characterization Cable, backplane, connector, package Active/passive device focus Active, Tx Passive, interconnect Typical measurements Jitter, noise Impedance, S-parameters BER DDJ and eye Additional capability Single S-parameter block Multiple S-parameter blocks FFE, DFE Equalization Pre-/de-emphasis Emphasis, FIR filters Fixture de-embedding Fixture de-embedding Channel emulation Multiple S-parameter simulation FIR filters Spice modeling
