Pattern Generator Module
PN L-6001-EPG10-x
DESCRIPTION
EPG10-x is an Electrical Pattern Generator module that plugs into theXBERT and ParalleX™ Chassis. EPG10-x can generate electrical datafrom 8.5 Gb/s up to 11.3 Gb/s (options are available to extend this range).
Optionally the EPG10-x module can operate in the 5G range. User
programmable PRBS patterns can be changed via an easy to use GUI. Apattern trigger output provides an electrical trigger synchronous with thepattern for use with an oscilloscope or other test equipment. Front panelindicators give immediate status for Tx Data.

KEY FEATURES
Data Rates 9.9 to 11.3Gbps (EPG10-3 standard)
Option: additional 4.9 to 5.7Gbps mode
Data Rates 8.5 to 11.3 Gbps (EPG10-5 standard)
Option: 8.0 to 11.3Gbps
Option: additional 4.25 to 5.65Gbps mode
Options can be combined to give 4.0 to 5.65Gbps

XBERT PLATFORM: LETS YOU START SMALL AND GROW BIGXBERT is a low-cost, modular Bit Error Rate Test
Platform used for verification and test of 10Gb/s andabove optical and electrical chip, sub assembly andsystem designs. ParalleX™ allows users to performseveral BER tests at once using a single clock source.
The system is ideal for developers desiring to run
simultaneous BER tests on parallel interfaces or multiple
independent interfaces. XBERT and ParalleX™ arescalable so users can start off with a single channel andadd modules to grow the system. Manufacturers canrealize great savings by taking advantage of the XBERTand ParalleX™ system’s scalability to perform parallel
testing in volume production environments.

Measured at: cross point 50%, PRBS31, DR = 11.3Gbps (output voltage= 3V, EPG10-5)This option extends the operating data rate for the EPG10-5 down to 8.0Gbps
This option is for the additional ‘5G mode’ for the EPG10-5 that covers 4.3 to 5.7Gbps. In combination with Opt113, thelower data rate is moved to 4.0Gbps
This option is for the additional ‘5G mode’ for the EPG10-3 that covers 4.9 to 5.7Gbps.
