Used Tektronix DPP125C BERTScope Digital Pre-emphasis Processor, -12.5 Gb/s

Product Highlights

The DPP125C is a nonlinear signal conditioner capable of adding controllable amounts of pre-emphasis to a signal. It takes in single-ended inputs of data and clock. The BERTScope DPP Series can operate as a stand-alone instruments controlled by a PC, or with a BERTScope for complete software integration. It can be fully automated, and with its compact size, it will easily fit into a manufacturing environment.
