Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) measurement system. Offering 

true-differential TDR measurements up to 50 GHz bandwidth with 15 ps 

reflected rise time and 12 ps incident rise time, you are able to keep 

pace with today’s most demanding Serial Data Network Analysis (SDNA) 

requirements. 

The 80E10 and 80E08 TDR modules feature a fully integrated independent 

dual-channel 2-meter remote sampler system to minimize fixturing and 

assure optimal system fidelity. Independent sampler deskew ensures fast 

and easy fixture and probe de-embedding. The user can characterize 

differential crosstalk by using TDR steps from a differential module to drive 

one line pair while monitoring a second line pair with a second differential 

module. 

Small form factor remote sampler enables placement near DUT assuring optimal signal 

fidelity. 

The DSA8200 is the industry’s most versatile TDR measurement system, 

accommodating up to 4 dual-channel true-differential TDR modules for fast, 

accurate multilane impedance and S-parameter characterization.

Handheld TDR probe provide high-performance probing solutions for circuit 

board impedance and electrical signal characterization. The P80318, an 

18 GHz 100 Ω input impedance differential TDR hand probe, enables 

high-fidelity impedance measurements of differential transmission lines. 

The adjustable probe pitch enables a wide variety of differential line spacing 

and impedances. The P8018 is a 20 GHz Single-ended Passive Handheld 

TDR probe. Both the P80318 and P8018 can be used as stand-alone 

probes but are especially designed to work with the 80A02 for the control of 

EOS/ESD protection.

Gigabit Signal Path Characterization and 

Analysis – Serial Data Network Analysis 

(SDNA) 

As clock speeds and rise times of digital circuits increase, interconnect 

signal integrity dramatically affects digital system performance. Accurate 

and efficient Serial Data Network Analysis (SDNA) of the signal path and 

interconnects in time and frequency domains is critical to predict signal 

losses, jitter, crosstalk, terminations and ringing, digital bit errors, and eye 

diagram degradation, ensuring reliable system operation. 

Tektronix offers several true-differential TDR modules, which in combination 

with IConnect ® software, allow S-parameters measurements with up to 

–70 dB of dynamic range. This performance assures accurate repeatable 

measurement in serial data analysis, digital design, signal integrity, and 

electrical compliance testing applications. 

The table below summarizes the S-parameter measurement bandwidth 

performance when IConnect and the true-differential TDR modules are used 

in combination.

for obtaining the desired frequency range and frequency step when 

performing S-parameter measurements. Up to 1,000,000 points can be 

acquired* 2 . 

When you employ IConnect ® Signal Integrity TDR and S-parameter 

software with the DSA8200 you have an efficient, easy-to-use, and 

cost-effective solution for measurement-based performance evaluation 

of multi-gigabit interconnect links and devices, including signal integrity 

analysis, impedance, S-parameter, and eye-diagram tests, and fault 

isolation. IConnect can help you complete interconnect analysis tasks in 

minutes instead of days, resulting in faster system design time and lower 

design costs. IConnect also enables impedance, S-parameters, and 

eye-diagram compliance testing as required by many serial data standards, 

as well as full channel analysis, Touchstone (SnP) file output, and SPICE 

modeling for gigabit interconnects.

enabling the fastest and most efficient fault isolation in package, circuit 

board, and on-chip failure analysis applications. 

Advanced Communication Signal Analysis 

Specifically designed for ultra high-performance optical and electrical serial 

data applications, the DSA8200 is the ideal tool for design characterization 

and validation, as well as manufacturing test of datacom and telecom 

components, transceiver subassemblies, and transmission systems. The 

DSA8200 generates measurement results, not just raw data, with time 

and amplitude histograms, mask testing, and statistical measurements. It 

provides a communications-tailored measurement set that includes jitter, 

noise, duty cycle, overshoot, undershoot, OMA, extinction ratio, Q-factor, 

mean optical power, and amplitude. In addition, you can do mask testing of 

SONET/SDH, 100 Gigabit (4×25), 10 Gigabit, Gigabit Ethernet, and other 

electrical and optical standards compliance verification. Color grading and 

intensity grading of waveform data adds a third dimension, sample density, 

to your signal acquisitions and analysis to provide visual insight. In addition, 

the variable persistence database feature enables exact data aging to all of 

the functions, and facilitates eye measurements on DUTs under adjustment.

DSA8200 Electrical Modules 

TDR Modules: 80E10, 80E08, and 80E04 

The 80E10, 80E08, and 80E04 are dual-channel Time Domain 

Reflectometry (TDR) sampling modules, providing typical 12 ps incident 

and 15 ps reflected TDR step rise time. Each channel of these modules is 

capable of generating a fast step for use in TDR mode and the acquisition 

portion of the sampling module monitors the incident step and any reflected 

energy. The polarity of each channel’s step can be selected independently. 

This allows for true-differential or common-mode TDR or S-parameters 

testing of two coupled lines, in addition to the independent testing of 

isolated lines. The independent step generation for each channel allows 

true-differential measurements, which ensures measurement accuracy of 

nonlinear differential devices. 

80E10 and 80E08 feature a small form factor, fully integrated independent 

2-meter remote sampler system, enabling the location of the sampler and 

TDR step generator near the DUT for the best system fidelity. The modules 

characterize crosstalk by using TDR steps to drive one line (or line pair 

for differential crosstalk) while monitoring a second line (or line pair) with 

the other channel (or another module for differential crosstalk). The "rise 

time filter" function on the DSA8200 mainframe can be used with TDR or 

crosstalk measurements to characterize expected system performance with 

slower edge speeds. An optional 2-meter extender cable for the 80E04 is 

available, which enables placement of the module near the DUT for the 

best system fidelity. 

All modules have independent incident step and receiver deskew to 

remove the effect of fixtures and probes, enabling faster and easier 

deskew. The 80E10 Sampling module provides an acquisition rise time 

of 7 ps, with up to 50 GHz user-selectable equivalent bandwidth (with 

50 GHz, 40 GHz, and 30 GHz settings). 80E08 sampling bandwidth 

is 30 GHz (user-selectable with 30 GHz and 20 GHz settings) and 

80E04 sampling bandwidth is 20 GHz. The 20 GHz P8018 single-ended 

and the 18 GHz P80318 differential variable pitch TDR handheld probes 

provide excellent performance, ensuring easy and accurate backplane and 

package measurements.

Data Sheet 

Electrical Modules: 80E09, 80E07, 80E06, 80E03, and 

80E01 

The 80E09 and 80E07 are dual-channel modules with remote samplers, 

capable of noise as low as 450 μV RMS at 60 GHz bandwidth and 

300 μV RMS noise at 30 GHz bandwidth. Each small form factor remote 

sampler is attached to a 2-meter cable to minimize the effects of cables, 

probes, and fixtures to ensure the best system fidelity. User-selectable 

bandwidth settings (60/40/30 on 80E09 and 30/20 on 80E07) offer optimal 

noise/bandwidth trade-off. 

80E06 and 80E01 are single-channel 70+ and 50 GHz bandwidth sampling 

modules respectively. 80E06 provides the widest bandwidth and fastest 

rise time with world-class system fidelity. Both 80E06 and 80E01 provide a 

superior maximum operating range of ±1.6 V. Both modules can be used 

with the optional 2-meter extender cable, ensuring superior system fidelity 

and measurement flexibility. 

The 80E03 is a dual-channel 20 GHz sampling module. This module 

provides an acquisition rise time of 17.5 ps or less. An optional 2-meter 

extender cable is available. 

When used with Tektronix 80SJNB Jitter, Noise, and BER Analysis 

software, these modules enable separation of both jitter and noise into 

their constituent components, for insight into the underlying causes of eye 

closure and obtain highly accurate calculation of BER and 3-D eye contour. 

When used with the 82A04 Phase Reference module, time-base accuracy 

canbeimproveddownto200fs RMS jitter which, together with the 300 μV RMS 

noise floor and 14 bits of resolution, ensures the highest signal fidelity for 

your measurements.

DSA8200 Accessory Modules 

82A04 Phase Reference Module 

The 82A04 Phase Reference module enhances the DSA8200 sampling 

oscilloscope from the industry's standard time-base jitter performance 

of 800 fs RMS , to the extremely low time-base jitter of

Data Sheet 

80A03 TekConnect Probe Interface Module 

The 80A03 provides probe power and control for up to two Tektronix 

P7000 Series probes. The 80A03 is powered through the oscilloscope 

and requires no user adjustments or external power cords. An Electrical 

Sampling module can be plugged directly into the slot on the 80A03 to 

provide the optimum system fidelity and a short electrical path. Using the 

80A03, designers can benefit from industry-leading Tektronix active and 

differential probes to measure signals on SMD pins and other challenging 

circuit features. 

SlotSaver Small Module Extender Cable 

This cable can be used to power and operate one 80A02 or 80A06 

accessory module, eliminating the need to consume a small form factor 

mainframe slot. The SlotSaver extender cable plugs into the ‘Trigger Power’ 

connector on the mainframe or (for 80A02) into the ‘Probe Power’ connector 

on most Electrical Sampling modules. 

DSA8200 Application Software 

Jitter, Noise, BER, and Serial Data Link Analysis (SDLA) 

Software 

80SJNB speeds the identification of the underlying causes of both 

horizontal and vertical eye closure through separation of jitter and noise. 

With its unique insight into the constituent components of both jitter and 

noise, 80SJNB provides a highly accurate and complete BER calculation 

and eye contour analysis. 

Additionally available in the software package is the first-ever set of features 

addressing the design issues of modern Serial Data Links: equalization with 

either FFE or DFE, channel emulation, support for fixture de-embedding, 

as well as full support for SSC – Spread Spectrum Clocking. When you 

combine jitter, noise, and BER analysis with the DSA8200 modular flexibility, 

uncompromised performance, and unmatched signal fidelity you get the 

ideal solution for next-generation high-speed serial data design validation 

and compliance testing. 80SJNB requires the 80A06 PatternSync module, 

which creates a trigger pulse on each complete pattern. 80SJNB may be 

used with the 82A04 Phase Reference module for enhanced accuracy or 

for SSC signals, or without it depending on your requirements. SSC max. 

amplitude 5000 ppm (6000 ppm) at 30 ±3 kHz. Version V2.1 and later 

of 80SJNB supports save and recall of the complete signal description. 

Also added is a new measurement DDPWS (Data Dependent Pulse Width 

Shrinkage) and a corresponding graph.

Jitter Analysis of Arbitrary Data 

The 80SJARB jitter measurement application software for the DSA8200 

Series addresses IEEE 802.3ba applications requiring the J2 and J9 

jitter measurements. It also enables basic jitter measurements for NRZ 

data signals including PRBS31, random traffic, and scrambled data. This 

provides an entry-level jitter analysis capability with simple Dual Dirac 

model jitter analysis and no hardware module requirements. 80SJARB can 

acquire continuously in “free run” mode, delivering acquisitions and updates 

beyond the IEEE minimum requirement of 10,000 data points. Plots include 

jitter bathtub curves for both measured and extrapolated data, as well as a 

histogram of the acquired data.

IConnect ® Signal Integrity TDR and 

S-parameter Software 

Operating on the DSA8200 TDR platform, IConnect ® S-parameters is 

the most cost-effective and highest throughput approach for S-parameter 

measurements in digital design, signal integrity analysis, and interconnect 

compliance testing, providing as much as 50% cost savings compared to 

similar bandwidth VNAs, and dramatically speeding up measurements. 

You can also take advantage of the IConnect ® S-parameters command 

line interface, which automates the S-parameter measurements, to the 

overall suite of manufacturing tests you perform using your TDR instrument, 

significantly reducing test time while increasing measurement repeatability. 

The simplicity of S-parameter calibration using a reference (open, short, 

or through), and an optional 50 Ω load makes the measurement, fixture 

de-embedding, and moving the reference plane a snap. Touchstone 

file format output enables easy S-parameter file sharing for further data 

analysis and simulations. 

Tektronix offers several true-differential TDR modules, which in combination 

with IConnect ® offers S-parameter measurements to 50 GHz with up to 

70 dB of dynamic range. This performance exceeds requirements for serial 

data analysis, digital design, and signal integrity applications, resolving 

down to 1% (–40 dB) accuracy of crosstalk, whereas electrical compliance 

testing masks typically call for the measurements in the –10 to –30 dB 

range. 

IConnect ® software allows you to quickly and easily generate SPICE 

and IBIS models for your PCBs, flex boards, connectors, cables, 

packages, sockets, and I/O buffer inputs directly from TDR/T or VNA 

S-parameter measurements. IConnect ® allows you to display eye diagram 

degradation, jitter, loss, crosstalk, reflections, and ringing in your digital 

system. IConnect ® Linear Simulator allows the designer to link several 

interconnect channels together to evaluate the total time, frequency 

domain performance, and eye diagram of the overall channel. IConnect ® 

substantially simplifies the signal integrity analysis of the interconnect 

link, equalization and emphasis component design, and analysis of the 

interconnect link with transmitter and receiver.

S-parameter Performance Characteristics (80E10) 

Measurement Conditions 

All measurements were performed after proper warm up as specified in 

the DSA8200 manual 

Standard S-parameter dynamic range measurement practices were 

used to determine the dynamic range of the module 

Uncertainty results were derived from a wide range of devices, with 250 

averages 

Better dynamic range can be achieved by selecting lower bandwidth 

settings on the 80E10 module due to lower RMS noise floor 

Results apply to single-ended or differential measurements
