14、rds) 1 Introduction 1.1 Scope This procedure is applicable to electrical connectors, cable assemblies, or interconnection systems. 1.2 Object This standard describes methods for measuring an eye pattern response and jitter in the time domain. 1.3 Definitions 1.3.1 Eye pattern An oscilloscope display

15、 of synchronized pseudo-random digital data (signal amplitude versus time), showing the superposition of accumulated output waveforms. 1.3.2 Jitter The difference between the earliest and latest times at which a signal crosses a specified reference voltage level. 1.3.3 Bit period The time interval b

16、etween the successive like edges (rise to rise or fall to fall) of the clock signal. This is the reciprocal of the clock frequency. 1.3.4 Skew The difference in propagation delay between two signal paths. 1.3.5 Measurement system rise time. EIA-364-107 Page 2 Rise time measured with fixture in place

17、, without the specimen, and with filtering (or normalization). Rise time is typically measured from 10% to 90% levels. 2 Test resources 2.1 Equipment 2.1.1 High speed pattern generator with clock output capable of producing a signal with specified rise and fall times and data pattern. 2.1.2 Signal a

18、nalyzer with external clock input capable of infinite persistence display. This is typically a digital sampling oscilloscope (DSO) with sampling head. It is preferred that the DSO have masking capability. NOTE Make sure not to exceed the maximum allowable input ratings of the oscilloscope input port

19、s. This will prevent costly damage and provide reliable measurements. Even signal excursions that are within the maximum allowable signal levels of the oscilloscope can result in unstable eye pattern responses. 2.2 Fixture 2.2.1 The test fixtures shall provide for proper signal(s) and ground pattern

20、(s) and, if required, proper termination of adjacent signal lines. 2.2.2 When measuring a differential response, make sure that the test fixtures and test cables are delay matched to minimize the skew. It is recommended that the skew of the test cables and fixtures be 5% of the bit period. 3 Test sp

21、ecimen 3.1 Description For this test procedure the test specimen shall be as follows: 3.1.1 Separable connectors A mated connector pair. 3.1.2 Cable assembly Assembled connectors and cables, and mated connectors. EIA-364-107 Page 3 3.1.3 Sockets A socket and test device or a socket and pluggable hea

22、der adapter. 4 Test procedure 4.1 General 4.1.1 Allow sufficient time for the equipment to warm-up and stabilize (according to the equipment manufacturers instructions). 4.1.2 If the specimen does not have a single-ended characteristic impedance of 50 or a differential impedance of 100 , impedance m

23、atching pads should be used. The required values are calculated using the equations in figures A.1 or A.2 of annex A. Use standard resistors having values nearest the values calculated from these equations. 4.1.3 Adjust the data generator for proper signal characteristics. These include rise time, a

24、mplitude, data rate, and encoding scheme. NOTE Rise time adjustments shall be made using hardware filters at the signal source and not using software filtering on the analyzer. 4.1.4 Trigger the oscilloscope on the data generator clock signal, making sure the clock signal does not exceed the normal

25、operating range of the clock input port. 4.1.5 Where possible, measure the eye pattern and/or jitter of the fixture and test cables without the specimen. Adjust the oscilloscope controls to display an eye pattern. The time base setting should be selected so that one unit interval (bit period) occupi

26、es at least 50% of the horizontal display. The vertical sensitivity should be selected so that the signal amplitude occupies 50% to 100% of the vertical display. See Annex B for examples. 4.2 Eye pattern 4.2.1 Method A, mask test 4.2.1.1 Set the oscilloscope to infinite persistence display mode and

27、set data acquisition to stop after the required number of waveforms. 4.2.1.2 Insert the specimen and initiate data acquisition to generate a preliminary eye pattern. 4.2.1.3 After the preliminary eye pattern data has been acquired, display or create the desired mask. Make sure the eye pattern and ma

28、sk are positioned with respect to each other and centered on the horizontal axis of the display). The mask should be placed (left to right) so that it best fits into the eye pattern. See Annex B.3 and B.4 for examples. EIA-364-107 Page 4 4.2.1.4 If available, enable the function on the DSO that coun

29、ts the number of data points that fall within the mask (referred to as “mask hits”). 4.2.1.5 Initiate data acquisition to generate a new eye pattern. 4.2.1.6 After the data acquisition is completed record the number of mask hits. If the automatic counting function (“hit counter”) is not available on

30、 the DSO, count and record the number of mask hits. 4.2.1.7 If required by the referencing document, make a hard copy of the oscilloscope display. 4.2.2 Method B, eye opening test 4.2.2.1 Set the oscilloscope to infinite persistence display mode and set data acquisition to stop after the required nu

31、mber of waveforms. 4.2.2.2 Insert specimen and initiate data acquisition to generate the eye pattern. 4.2.2.3 After the eye pattern has been acquired, measure and record the eye height at a time corresponding to 50% of the bit period (V 50% t). Measure and record the eye width at a voltage level cor

32、responding to 50% of the signal amplitude (t 50% V). 4.2.2.4 If required by the referencing document, make a hard copy of the oscilloscope display. 4.3 Jitter 4.3.1 Method C, Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) test, (multiple pattern) 4.3.1.1 Display the eye pattern per 4.2. 4.3.1.2 Center trace arou

33、nd the horizontal axis such that the entire eye pattern amplitude is visible on the display. 4.3.1.3 DSO, automatic method 4.3.1.3.1 If the oscilloscope contains automatic statistical measurement capability, its recommended to use the DSO functions to measure the jitter at the eye crossing point. 4.

34、3.1.3.2 When using manual measurement limits, insure that the vertical limits are as close together as possible, but a maximum of 20 mV apart; see figure B.5. 4.3.1.4 DSO, manual method EIA-364-107 Page 5 4.3.1.4.1 If the automatic measurement function is not available, position two vertical cursors

35、, one on each side of the eye cross transition; see figure B.6. 4.3.1.4.2 Read the jitter value from the delta (distance between) the cursor positions. 4.3.2 Method D, pulse test, (single pattern) 4.3.2.1 Set the generator for a DC balanced test pattern. This shall be a square wave or PRBS pattern a

36、t the specified frequency. 4.3.2.2 Set the oscilloscope to infinite persistence display mode, and adjust the vertical position to center the waveform vertically on the display, with half amplitude at center screen. 4.3.2.3 Adjust the generator to produce the specified test pattern. This pattern may

37、be chosen to simulate a long idle sequence, and is specific to the data pattern to be used in the application. It is typically a pattern of a logic “1” followed by twenty or more logic “0”s. For single ended measurements: measure the logic “1“ and logic “0“ levels, and adjust the generator if necess

38、ary to ensure the half amplitude of the waveform is still at center screen. For differential measurements: measure the logic “1“ and logic “0“ levels of both channels. Adjust the generator to minimize the offset in voltage or time between channels. If any voltage offset is present between channels,

39、the amount of offset shall be added to or subtracted from (as appropriate) the half-amplitude measurement point for the pulse width in 4.3.2.4. 4.3.2.4 Measure the width of the pulse that crosses the half-amplitude point (center screen), using cursors or oscilloscope measurement functions; see figur

40、e B.7. 4.3.2.5 Subtract the half-amplitude pulse width measured in 4.3.2.4 from the bit time (1 divided by the clock frequency of the generator) to obtain the jitter. 5 Details to be specified The following details shall be specified in the referencing document: 5.1 Signal rise time, amplitude, and

The eye pattern is typically measured using a data generator transmitting a non-re

48、turn to zero (NRZ) pseudo- random bit sequence (PRBS) and an oscilloscope having infinite persistence. To obtain an eye pattern on an oscilloscope, the sweep is triggered by the data clock signal, and the time base is set to display one bit period (also called the unit interval, which is equal to th

49、e period of one clock cycle). On each sweep of the oscilloscope, the bits of the random data are superimposed on the CRT display. The eye pattern shows the extent of distortion that can occur; see figure B.1. Figure B.1 - Typical eye pattern response B.1.2 Historically the eye pattern has been used as a qualitative measurement tool. Modern digital storage oscilloscopes permit the eye pattern to be used as a quantitative measurement tool. The open area in the center of an eye pattern pulse is an indicator of data transmission qual
