The 80A05 Electrical Clock Recovery Module enables clock recovery for electrical signals, as well as internal triggering on the recovered clock for the 8000 Series Communications Signal Analyzers and Sampling Oscilloscopes.

This module recovers clocks from serial data streams for all of the most common electrical standards in the 50 Mb/s to 4.25 Gb/s range.

Option 10G adds support for other standard rates up to 12.6 Gb/s.

In addition to standard rate support, users can specify custom bit rates in order to test devices, modules and systems running at emerging or non-standard rates.

The wide clock recovery range and support for user-specified bit-rates – all in a single module – provides a complete clock recovery solution for testing of a whole range of computer and communications signaling rates and standards.

The module accepts either single-ended or complementary (±Data In) signals at its input. In the case of differential signaling the clock recovery is a true-differential clock recovery; single-ended recovery is performed on single-ended signals.

With either single-ended or complementary input signals, the unmodified input signal is available at approximately 50% amplitude on the front panel ±Data Out “through” outputs.

The signal path to these front panel outputs is carefully designed to preserve signal fidelity well beyond the frequency corresponding to the maximum bit rate addressed by the clock recovery circuit. The front panel output signals can therefore be connected to a high frequency sampling module (for example, the 80E03 (20GHz) Electrical Sampling Module) and be acquired for analysis while preserving high frequency features of the signal.

The 80A05 Electrical Clock Recovery Module combines simplicity of use with excellent flexibility; the full-rate recovered clock or its sub-rate is available on the module’s front panel to clock and/or trigger other equipment.

80A05 – Highly Flexible Electrical Clock Recovery Module

The 80A05 Electrical Clock Recovery Module recovers clock for all of the most common standards in the range from 50 Mb/s to 12.6 Gb/s. This wide range, available in a single module, provides complete clock recovery support for acquisition of communications and computer electrical signal.
