1 Oscilloscope Bandwidth Requirements for Emerging Serial Data Interfaces Page 1 What best determines bandwidth requirements? 5 th harmonic? Or spectral content of the signal, which is related to rise time? Rise time measurements on controlled signals What rise time does a typical PCIe 2.0 signal actually exhibit? What effect do fixtures have on rise times? Is there such a thing as too much bandwidth? Page 2 Oscillioscope BW Requirements 1
2 What Do You Think? Which do you think best predicts the required scope rise time: The data rate? The rise time of the signal? Page 3 Two Examples 620 Mb/s 10 Gb/s Page 4 Oscillioscope BW Requirements 2
3 10 Gb/s Page Mb/s Page 6 Oscillioscope BW Requirements 3

6 620 Mb/s 25 th Harmonic Page 11 Changing Bit Rate With Constant Rise Time 4 Gb/s 5 th Harmonic = 4% Rise time = 35 ps 6 Gb/s 5 th Harmonic = 1.4% 1 Gb/s 5 th Harmonic = 8% Page 12 Oscillioscope BW Requirements 6
7 Changing Rise Time With Constant Bit Rate Bit rate = 4 Gb/s Rise time = 50ps 5 th Harmonic = 4.1% Rise time = 66ps 5 th Harmonic = 2.1% Rise time =15ps 5 th Harmonic = 7.4% Page 13 Conclusion The rise time is a better predictor of the required bandwidth than the bit rate.

We will examine the signal with both an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer. The device is a prototype PCIe Gen2 X16 graphics card. The signal is the PCIe 40-bit compliance test pattern.

24 Case Study: Excess Bandwidth Is the Cause The Answer: The top waveform is a USB2.0 eye pattern measured with the scope bandwidth set to 3GHz. The bottom waveform is the same USB2.0 eye pattern measured with the scope bandwidth set to 12GHz. The noise difference in the two waveforms is the high frequency noise from a scope front end. Too much bandwidth only increases the noise. Measured with 3GHz Scope Measured with 12GHz Scope Page 47 Case Study: Excess Bandwidth Adds Unnecessary Noise to the Waveform Measured with 12GHz Scope FFT Analysis on the Transition Bits Measured with 3GHz Scope FFT analysis reveals the cause. Select an optimum bandwidth for each application to avoid capturing unnecessary noise. Page 48 Oscillioscope BW Requirements 24

For signals with rise times >35 ps, 13 GHz bandwidth is adequate for accurate measurements. More bandwidth only leads to more noise and degraded measurement repeatability. Signals used in high speed serial interfaces currently under development typically have rise times significantly slower than 35 ps. Both Agilent and Tektronix high-performance real-time scopes offer the capability to control bandwidth. Page 50 Oscillioscope BW Requirements 25
