The DCA-X provides users with a variety of benefits:
Improved margins, differentiated products
Standards are continually moving towards faster and faster
data rates in response to market demands. As a result, data
signals have shorter bit periods and faster edge speeds. In
order for digital communication systems to approach error-
free performance, engineers often employ techniques such
as emphasis and equalization, and they take great care to
minimize jitter and noise impairments on their signals.
The 86100D DCA-X is architected to provide the optimum
combination of wide-bandwidth, low noise, and low jitter so
that you measure the TRUE performance of your design, not
the scope itself.
With bandwidth >90GHz, jitter <60fs, and noise as low
as 250uV, the DCA-X provides industry-leading waveform
fidelity that yields:
• more accurate waveform measurements
• lower jitter measurements
• improved mask margins, higher yields
With the addition of Option SIM InfiniiSim-DCA, signal
degradation due to fixtures or cables can be removed, or
de-embedded, providing even more margin. Alternatively, it is
also possible to simulate the signal at the end of a fixture or
cable (embedding) for additional insight or compliance.
Industry standard compliance
The DCA makes it easy to perform industry standard
compliance measurements accurately and quickly.
The 86100D provides:
• Over 50 built-in standards-based masks with automated
mask margin analysis
• Optical reference receivers with the widest data rate
coverage in the industry
• Fast, accurate, and compliant jitter measurements
Lower cost of test
Increased channel density and fast measurement functions
and algorithms (such as fast Auto Scale and ER tuning)
result in lower cost of test per port.
• High density channel count configurations
• Optimized algorithms for high volume manufacturing
Benefits
Faster time to market
Start making meaningful measurements quickly and get your
product to market faster. The DCA-X user interface has been
designed so that novice users quickly become proficient
scope users.
• One-button mode buttons quickly configure standards-
based measurements
• Context sensitive Follow-Me HELP
• Customizable displays
Upgradeable and backwards compatible
The modular architecture of the 86100D means that the
instrument can evolve to meet your needs. There’s no need
to purchase capability until you need it.
• Modular - add capacity and/or new capabilities
• Protect your investment
- 100% backwards compatible with all DCA
modules (used with 54750A, 83480A,
86100A/B/C mainframes)
- 100% code compatible with 86100C DCA-J
• Plan for the future – the DCA-X supports future
modules and new measurement capability
