Serial BERT N4906B, Data Sheet V3
The serial BERT N4906B is able to align the sam-
pling point’s voltage threshold and time offset. It
is possible to automatically align the threshold and
offset together or each separately.
Automatic Alignment
Automatic center (auto align)
The error detector sets the 0/1 threshold midway
between the top and bottom of the eye, where the
bit error ratio is equal to a selectable threshold.
The eye height is calculated and displayed. It is
limited to a 2 V window selected by the user. Also
it recognizes a pattern inversion.
Automatic clock to data alignment (data center)
An important feature of the serial BERT N4906B
error detector is the ability to automatically align
the clock and data inputs. The sampling point will
be positioned in the middle of the eye (time axis).
Automatic threshold (0/1 threshold center)
The error detector centers the 0/1 threshold level
automatically. If singled ended measurements are
done, the error detector is able to continuously
track the mean DC level of the input signal and
adjust the threshold accordingly. The adjustment
interval is 100 ms. The tracking is limited to a 2 V
window selected by the user.
