Clock recovery you can count on

The BERTScope™ CR and CRJ (Jitter Analyzer) are fully flexible clock recovery instruments designed to make compliance testing of today’s communication devices easy and exact. With jitter being such a complex and contentious parameter, each clock recovery instrument is intended to make compliance testing simple, repeatable, and accurate.

The BERTScope™ CR smoothly integrates with the BERTScope family, or can be used stand-alone to bring compliance to your existing investments in BER and sampling scope equipment.

An optional set of matched clock and data connector cables is available as an accessory to the Clock Recovery instrument. These cables are designed and manufactured to exacting tolerances, eliminating any need to compensate for cable disparity during testing.

• Instrumentation quality clock recovery
• 150 Mb/s to 12.5 Gb/s continuous coverage
• Accurate variable loop bandwidth from 100 kHz to 12 MHz
• Auto lock capability with LED display
• Programmable peaking adjustment with first and second order roll off settings
• Self-measured and displayed PLL frequency response
• USB control connection to BERTScope, or stand-alone operation via front panel

• Single-ended or differential 50 Ω data inputs/outputs
• DC-coupled data through-path
• Full and divided clock outputs with selectable divide ratios
• Measurement of clock phase error as a function of frequency and time
• Data measurement capability
  • Edge density measurement — determine the mark density of the signal under test
• Ideal for spread spectrum clock (SSC) applications with large jitter excursions
