  1. Testing OIF Optical and Electrical Implementation Agreements Gary Goncher Tektronix, Inc.

  2. Agenda • OIF Interfaces • Mask Testing, Optical and Electrical • Jitter Testing • Jitter Component Separation • Physical Layer Protocol Testing • Summary

  3. OIF Interfaces • OIF Electrical Interfaces

  4. Mask testing • Mask testing measures many parameters simultaneously: • Amplitude (signal to noise) • Rise and fall times • Edge jitter

  5. Mask testing • Example: SFI-5 transmit mask

  6. Mask testing

  7. Jitter Testing • Jitter is mis-positioning of data or clock edges that can result in data bit errors • Jitter results from different causes, and is typically broken into random and non-random (deterministic) components for purposes of bit error estimation • Jitter parameters are specified for all OIF physical interfaces and must be tested

  8. 1-sigma or RMS 7-sigma Jitter Testing • Jitter of a random nature has Gaussian distribution

  9. Jitter Testing • Deterministic jitter has non-Gaussian distribution Deterministic components Peak-to-Peak Random components 1-sigma or RMS

  10. Jitter Testing • Measuring Jitter: • Equivalent Time Sampling Methods • Time Interval Analyzer Method • $300,000 BERT Method • Real Time Oscilloscope Method • Separating Jitter: Rj/Dj and BER • ET scope averaging (frame scan) • $170,000 TIA and analysis software • RT scope with analysis software

  11. Jitter Testing • Equivalent time histogram method

  12. rearm T1 T2 T3 T4 start stop start stop Jitter Testing • Time Interval Analyzer Method • T1-T2 then rearm then T1-T3 then rearm… leaving lots of dead time between measurements • No continuous time record means frequency components of jitter can’t be captured • Measurements made over seconds will include wander

  13. Jitter Testing • BERT Method - standard technique to measure BER • Long measurement time (3.25Gbps*1E12*1000=307692s=85hrs) BERT Sig Gen BERT Acquire DUT Trillions of bits: Pseudo-random codes, 1E23 bits common

  14. Jitter Testing • Oscilloscope Rj/Dj Separation and BER Estimation: • Based on real time acquisition data • Includes Golden PLL TIE measurements • Spectral Analysis used to decompose jitter • Wide noise margin – works even with substantial system noise • Works with short or long data repeats – no pattern details required (you provide bit rate and pattern length) • Trigger at any random point in your data • Works with CSA7000, TDS5000, TDS6000, TDS7000 instruments • Results for Rj, Dj, Pj, DDj,

  15. Jitter Component Separation • Start with • TIE • PLL TIE • Perform FFT • Determine frequency and pattern rate • Sum pattern related bins • Sum unrelated periodic bins • Measure RMS of remaining bins • Estimate BER

  16. PLL Protocol Test • Several OIF physical layer interfaces require state machine implementations and pass status messages • Examination of interface state and decode of status messages is necessary for debugging • Examples will be shown for the OIF SPI-4.2 10 Gb/s packet interface

  17. SPI-4.2 Protocol Test • SPI-4.2 Test Requirements • Support SPI-4.2 rates up to 350 MHz clock and 700 Mb/s data rate • SPI-4.2 FIFO Status Decode with DIP 2 parity check • DIP4 Parity Checking for SPI-4.2 data • Trigger on Control (SOP, EOP, ABORT) & Packet Data • Display of Packetized SPI frames • ASCII payload decoding • Per Port Post-processed filtering of data • Real time filtering of IDLE conditions

  18. SPI-4.2 Protocol Test • SPI-4.2 Example – Trigger on MAC • Trigger on Packet (MAC) • Des: 00 00 00 00 00 01 • Src: 00 00 00 00 00 02

  19. FIFO Status Decode Packet Display ASCII payload decoding SPI-4.2 Protocol Test Post-Processing Software • Packet and control word decoding • Packetized display of SPI-4.2 & SPI-3 frames • ASCII payload decoding • Post-processed filtering of data per port (user selectable)

  20. SPI4.2 SOP Trigger Integrated digital/analog probing SPI-4.2 Protocol Test • Integration of physical &protocol information:

  21. Summary • Implementation of physical interfaces requires extensive testing to assure interoperability • Both physical layer electrical/optical properties and protocols must be verified
