Conclusion
The
SIA-3000
provides the ability to measure and graphically display many different critical clock
parameters. Using the tools described in this application note, a characterization or test engineer can
understand the output of the part under test in just a few minutes. Each tool has additional capabilities
not described in this application note. Most notably are DSP post-processing filters that can be
enabled. For more details on these capabilities please refer to specific Quick Reference Guides or the
online help.
WAVECREST
also provides software tools for advanced analysis of PLLs. The PLL
analysis module can provide Transfer function, Poles and Zero, Bode Plot, Carrier Frequency,
Damping Factor, Natural Frequency, PSD of Noise, Lock Range, Lock-in Time, Pull-in Time, Pull-out
Range and Noise Bandwidth. This tool allows comparison of actual measurements to the design
simulations.
These different analysis tools provide the flexibility to look at many different components of Signal
Integrity. The
SIA-3000
combines different hardware techniques with industry-accepted algorithms
for the measurement of Deterministic, Random, and Total Jitter. These capabilities make the
SIA-
3000
the most complete and easy to use Signal Integrity Analysis system available today.
