PatternSync Trigger Module

80A06 PatternSync Trigger module is required for the DSA8200 Series when using 80SJNB advanced Jitter, Noise, and BER Analysis software package. When this module is used with the 82A04 Phase Reference module, the jitter floor is ≤200 fs_RMS.

The PatternSync Trigger Module is programmable to pattern lengths of up to 2²³ bits and accepts a user-supplied clock signal from 150 MHz to 12.75 GHz. The DSA8200 UI/PI for the 80A06 module offers pattern lengths from 2 to 2²³ bits and programs the module to within it's hardware range (a prescaler followed by a counter with minimum count of 30) for the least-common-multiple count.

Performance You Can Count On

Depend on Tektronix to provide you with performance you can count on. In addition to industry-leading service and support, this product comes backed by a one-year warranty as standard.
