BertScope Adds SSC

MENLO PARK, Calif. -- SyntheSys Research, Inc. a developer and manufacturer of high-speed signal integrity test and measurement solutions for the computer, storage, and communications industries, introduces Spread Spectrum Clock and data generation for the BERTScope S Signal Integrity Instrument Family.

Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) is being used by many of the latest high-speed serial buses in order to reduce EMI issues in new board and system designs. Data patterns with embedded SSC and SSC full and sub-rate clocks are needed in order to fully test and characterize ICs and boards in systems using SSC. Customers need compliant SSC data streams for qualifying their devices and to determine performance margins by being able to generate SSC data in excess of specification limits.

BERTScope S with Option SSC accelerates time-to-market for developers and manufacturers of integrated circuits and boards for SATA, PCI-Express, FB-DIMM and next generation SAS by providing easy-to-use programmable SSC clocks and data together with uncompromised integrated stress generation for fast device compliance and margin testing.

BERTScope S with Option SSC may be paired with a BERTScope CRJ or CR for compliant clock recovery and to calibrate test signals at the point of test. In addition, the SSC modulation on the data from either the BERTScope S generator or from a device under test may be displayed and analyzed. When paired with the new BERTScope CRJ the BERTScope S also provides jitter spectrum analysis and duty cycle distortion measurement.

Price and Availability

The BERTScope S Option SSC is $9,000.00 and is available on BERTScope S 12500B and 7500B. Delivery time is 8 weeks ARO.
