Tektronix 80A06 PatternSync Trigger Module for DSA8200 Tested Good. #M090

The Tektronix 80A06 PatternSync Trigger Module is an accessory that extends the triggering capabilities of the Tektronix DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer. It enables triggering on user-defined serial data patterns, allowing engineers to isolate and analyze specific events within high-speed serial data streams. This module is essential for debugging and characterizing complex digital communication systems in high-speed digital design, telecommunications, and data storage applications.

Technical Specifications

• PatternSync triggering on user-defined serial data patterns


• Pattern-level isolation and analysis within serial data streams


• Module interface: Proprietary connector for DSA8200 chassis integration


• Power supplied by host DSA8200 instrument


• Compatible with high-speed serial data standards supported by DSA8200

Key Features

• Trigger on specific serial data sequences to capture defined events


• Isolate known error patterns for root cause analysis


• Extract and examine protocol-specific commands, responses, and data packets


• Enable detailed jitter and timing analysis on selected data transitions


• Verify correct data transmission and reception at the pattern level

Typical Applications

• Error isolation and characterization within serial data streams


• Protocol debugging and command/response verification


• Jitter analysis on specific data patterns and transitions


• System validation and data integrity verification


• High-speed serial link debugging and optimization

Compatibility & Integration The 80A06 module installs directly into the modular slots of the Tektronix DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer. It integrates with the DSA8200's input capabilities and accepts serial data streams compatible with the host instrument's supported high-speed serial data standards.
