• Minimum input level: 75 mVpp

Continuous bandless tuning from 50 Mb/s to 13.5 Gb/s

• Golden PLL operation (with option 300) with tunable loop bandwidth range of 15 KHz to 10 MHz

• Ultra-low residual jitter: < 300 fs rms (typical at 10 Gb/s)

Compatibility

• 86100A/B/C Infiniium DCA/DCA-J mainframe 86100A/B/C Infiniium DCA/DCA-J mainframe

The 83496A multi-rate electrical clock recovery (CR) module extracts clocks for waveform analysis with features such as continuous bandless tuning from 50 Mb/s to 13.5 Gb/s, ultra-low residual jitter, and Golden PLL (phase-locked loop) operation. 

It provides the first true hardware Golden PLL trigger system, as the loop bandwidth is tuned to achieve the exact data rate required in the standard over its operating range.
