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?
Answer :
The following table defines the differences:
| Jitter, Noise, BER | IConnect | |
| Focus | Tx / System | Cable, Backplane, system |
| Signal source | Tx | TDR |
| Application | Serial 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 |
