Agilent
Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the latest release of its ENA
Option TDR application software, Revision
A.01.50. The enhanced software is designed to meet the requirements
of the latest high-speed digital standards used in R&D, quality assurance
and manufacturing test.
With
the increase in bit rates, standards continue to evolve and new measurements
are often the result. There is a growing need in the industry for more thorough
evaluation of components, as well as evaluation under actual operating
conditions.
"There
are various ways to approach performance enhancements," said Hisao
Yamaoka, marketing manager with Agilent's Component Test Division – Kobe.
"Agilent's approach is to provide continuous improvement on the
measurements that our customers care most about. The ENA Option TDR Revision A.01.50
stays true to that heritage."
The
enhanced Agilent software delivers the following updates for high-speed digital
measurements, enabling users to:
- Determine
optimal signal conditioning for high-speed digital link with emphasis and
equalization features. Simulate emphasis and equalization via a simple
GUI.
- Perform
stressed eye diagram analysis of interconnects with the jitter insertion
feature. Impairments such as random and periodic (sinusoidal) jitter can
be configured.
- Analyze impedance of active devices under actual operating conditions with Hot TDR measurement capability. The spurious frequencies of the transmitter can be determined from the data rate (user input) and avoided during the frequency sweep, allowing for fast and accurate measurements.
About ENA Option TDR
The ENA
Option TDR application software is the ideal one-box solution for high-speed
serial interconnect analysis. The ENA Option TDR includes three breakthrough
features: simple and intuitive operation, fast and accurate measurements, and
