Main characteristics and technical indicators

Operating speeds from 9.90 to 11.35 Gb/s when using the internal clock synthesizer

Operating speeds from 0.5 to 12.5 Gb/s when using an external clock

Multiple clock and pattern triggers

Differential or single-ended inputs and outputs

Programmable output amplitude control

Highly integrated (low part count + low heat = high reliability)

Optional PRBS pattern length, cursor space density

Local button and GPIB remote interface

description

The Keysight N4962A is a cost-effective 10G BERT consisting of an internal clock system, a PRBS generator and a bit error detector. It is primarily used for testing, manufacturing and characterization on automated production lines. The N4962A features a highly integrated custom ASIC that reduces part count and operating temperature for greater reliability. The N4962A also features a compact form factor and a simple user interface, making it ideal for use on production test benches.
