ML9004E 4-Lane PPG & AWG 4-Channel Differential Arbitrary Waveform Generator with 1-64 GBd selectable Baud Rate and User Defined Modulation | 2 Dual-Channel (I/Q) Differential Pulse Pattern Generators with 25-64 GBd selectable Baud Rate | NRZ/PAM4 Modulation | Independent 7-tap FFE on each transmitter With the accelerated growth of hyperscale datacenters, Ethernet network infrastructure performance demands are increasing exponentially, and customer expectations for high-speed data throughput are at an all-time high. Other high-speed I/O protocols such as PCIe Gen 5 and 6 are also gaining momentum. Arbitrary Waveform Generators are the ideal general-purpose development tool for validating high-speed receivers and are extremely flexible instruments for coherent module development. The ML9004E consists of 4 differential transmit channels that can be used as Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG) or as Pattern Pulse Generators (PPG). It comes standard with a library of waveforms such as sine, square, triangle, or sinc for example. It has an intuitive graphical user interface to create PRBS bit sequences with FFE or pre- and post-emphasis. It supports SSC (Spread-Spectrum Clocking) and generating compliance test patterns with programmable RJ and SJ (dual tones) jitter injection, ISI and Cross-Talk emulation for PHY testing of MIPI A/C/D/M-PHY, PCIe, USB and others.

With 400ZR adoption around the corner, an affordable tool set that can support the development of this technology and prepare for mass adoption is essential. The ML9004E is a new instrument that allows development and validation of equipment for high-performance high-speed data center networking. The ML9004E is a fully feature arbitrary waveform generator that can be configured as four channels of 64 GBd each. In this mode, programmable RJ/SJ jitter injection, ISI and Cross-Talk emulation are supported. The AWG is also a PPG that generates various PRBS patterns to double as a BERT TX for either...

Cables To connect the instrument to the device load board, some examples of cable sets are shown here. Contact MultiLane for the best cabling options for your application: • SMPM to 2.4 Male or Female depending on the setup Figure 1: MultiLane SMPM to 2.4 mm male cable Figure 2: MultiLane SMPM to 2.4 mm female cable

Electrical Specifications Parameter Table 1: General Specs Table 2: Arbitrary Waveform Generator Specs 1 For a two-tone signal, the amplitude will be half for each tone. For wideband signals, the amplitude will also be less than the sinewave amplitude since energy will be distributed among the fundamental and the overtones
