Range of operation
5
150 Mb/s to 14.2 Gb/s (Option D14, required in addition to C13 or G13)
150 Mb/s to 12.5 Gb/s (Option C13 or G13); can be programmed up to 13.5 Gb/s
150 Mb/s to 7 Gb/s (Option C07 or G07);
< 620 MHz only with external clock
Frequency accuracy ± 15 ppm typical
Format NRZ, normal or inverted
Electrical idle Output transitions from full swing signal to 0 V amplitude and vice versa at constant offset within 4 ns typ. Electrical
idle is controlled by the error add input connector
Amplitude/resolution 0.050 V to 1.800 V, 5 mV steps; addresses LVDS, CML, PECL, ECL (terminated to 1.3 V/0 V/-2 V), low voltage CMOS
Output voltage window - 2.0 V to +3.0 V
Predeined levels ECL (-2V), SCFL (0V), LVPECL (1.3V), LVDS (1.25V), and CML (0V)
Transition times
20% to 80%
10% to 90%

< 20 ps
< 25 ps
Intrinsic jitter

9 ps pp typical with internal clock
Clock/data delay range ± 0.75 ns in 100 fs steps
Auto-calibration possible to compensate for temperature drifts
External termination voltage
2
- 2 V to +3 V
Crossing point Adjustable 20% to 80% typical to emulate duty cycle distortions
AUX data modes: – Sub-rate clock mode: can be used to generate lower rate reference clocks with divider factor n = 2, 3, 4, 5, ... 128
relative to data rate. This is the same function as the sub-rate clock output of N4903A.
– Pattern and PRBS generation (Option 002). Can be used to drive a multiplexer such as N4876A (requires SW 6.7
or later) and as independent second data channel (requires SW 7.0 or later).
Skew < 15 ps typical between data output and aux data output
Single error inject Adds single errors on demand
Fixed error inject Fixed error ratios of 1 error in 10
