BroadR-Reach Ethernet Technical Background I ı BroadR-Reach is derived from 100BASE-Tx and 1000BASE-T Ethernet ı Standardized by the OPEN alliance ı Future IEEE 100BASE-T1 Standard ı Simple wiring: single unshielded twisted-pair ı 3 levels: PAM 3 modulation to reach 100 Mbit/s ı Simultaneous: full-duplex communication 4
BroadR-Reach Ethernet Technical Background II 15 nsec ı BroadR-Reach Ethernet has 3 levels and a transmission frequency of 66⅔ MHz 5
BroadR-Reach Ethernet Signal Integrity ı CAN is tested with eye diagram test ı For BroadR-Reach, a compliance test is specified similar to 1000BASE-T compliance focuses on transmitter signal quality Special test signals are mandatory 6
Ethernet Compliance Test: BroadR-Reach Test Specification The following PHY tests are specified by the IEEE: I. Transmitter droop II. Transmit clock frequency of 66 ⅔ MHz ±0.01% III. Transmitted jitter in master and slave (opt.) mode IV. Power spectral density V. Return loss measurements VI. Transmitter distortion 5 different test modes 7
Compliance Test I: Transmitter Droop ı Test mode 1 (40 transmits of +1 followed by 40 transmits of -1) ı Specification: Max droop after 500 ns of 26.9% ı Test Setup 8
Compliance Test II: Transmitter Clock Frequency ı Measurement of the clock frequency ı Test mode 2 (sequence +1, -1) ı Specification: Transmitted clock 66.6603 MHz < f < 66.6736 MHz ı Test setup 9
Compliance Test III: Transmitted Jitter Master Mode: Measurement of the jitter of the transmitted clock Test Mode 2 (sequence +1, -1) Specification: RMS Jitter < 50 ps Test Setup: Optionally: Test the clock in slave mode 10
Compliance Test IV: Power Spectral Density ı Test Mode 5 (random sequence of {-1, 0, +1}) ı Can be done with R&S RTO Oscilloscope ı Specification: limits Limit Mask ı Test Setup: Limit Mask 11
Compliance Test V: Return Loss Measurement ı Test Equipment: Network Analyzer. Automatic test support for R&S ZVL and R&S ZNB ı Calibration is mandatory ı Test Mode 4 (well defined pattern) ı Specification: Return loss (S11) shall be below 18 db (1-20 MHz) 18 * 10*log(f/20) db (20-66 MHz) with 100 Ohm ref. impedance ı Small peak at 33 MHz is test signal 12
Compliance Test VI: Distortion ı Includes 5.4 V 20.3 MHz distortion signal from signal generator, e.g. HMF2550 ı Test mode 4: well defined pattern signal ı Measurement: Based on 2047 x 6=12.282 symbols MATLAB script is provided in specification max distortion below 15 mv Signal Generator Oscilloscope Test assumes accurate clock but clock accuracy is 100 ppm 13
Compliance Test VI: Distortion: Frequency Lock is Mandatory With Reference Clock Synchronization No Reference Clock Synchronization 14
