Signal Integrity Tools Address 5 to 10 Gb/s Designs

Eye Doctor II, the company’s second generation of oscilloscope-based signal integrity tools, addresses the challenges engineers face as they drive towards 5- to 10-Gb/s designs. The application removes the impact of test fixtures and cables, models the impact of serial data channels and fixtures, and simulates equalization. These capabilities enhance the ability to make useful measurements in high-speed circuits and address emerging compliance requirements for newer serial data standards such as PCI Express 3.0, SuperSpeed USB, SATA 6 Gb/s, and 6 Gb/s SAS. Eye Doctor II is available for all LeCroy digital oscilloscopes with a 6-GHz bandwidth or more. Price is $4,990. LECROY CORP., Chestnut Ridge, NY. (800) 453-2769.
