Ethernet Performance Validation and

The N5392A Ethernet electrical

performance validation and

compliance option provides you

with a fast and easy way to verify

and debug your 1000Base-T,

100Base-TX and 10Base-T

Ethernet designs. The Ethernet

electrical test software, allows

you to automatically execute

Ethernet physical-layer (PHY)

electrical tests, and it displays

FPGA Dynamic Probe for Infiniium

MSO* (N5397A)

The new N5397A FPGA Dynamic

Probe for the Infiniium MSO pro-

vides the most effective solution

for validating and debugging

embedded designs incorporating

Xilinx FPGAs. This innovative

solution enables you to:

•View internal FPGA activity

correlated to external analog

events — With the FPGA

dynamic probe, the Infiniium

MSO’s 16 digital channels can

be used to access hundreds of

internal signals, unlocking

visibility into your design that

you never had before. With the

power of the MSO, these inter-

nal FPGA signals can be corre-

lated to external analog con-

tent for determining cause and

effect relationships.

* This option works with all 54830 Series Infiniium mixed-signal oscilloscopes and requires version A.03.90 system software or highter. Existing 54830 Series users can order

the N5383A Infiniium Performance Upgrade Kit to move from A.02.xx (Windows 98) to A.03.xx (Windows XP Pro) or higher revision of system software.

† This option works with all 54830 Series Infiniium oscilloscopes and requires version A.03.50 (Windows XP Pro) system software or higher. Existing 54830 Series users can

order the N5383A Infiniium Performance Upgrade Kit to move from A.02.xx (Windows 98) to A.03.xx (Windows XP Pro) or higher revision of system software.

•Make multiple measurements in

seconds — Moving probe points

internal to an FPGA used to

require time consuming design

recompiles. Now, in less than a

second you can easily measure

a different set of internal sig-

nals without design changes.

By not changing the design,

FPGA timing stays constant

when you select new sets of

internal signals for probing.

•Leverage the work you did in your

design environment — The FPGA

dynamic probe automatically

maps internal signal names

from your FPGA design tool

to the MSO’s digital channel

labels. This provides easy sig-

nal identification and elimi-

nates unintentional mistakes

while saving hours of time.

the results in a flexible report

format. In addition to the

measurement data, the report

provides a margin analysis that

shows how closely your device

passed or failed each test. The

Agilent N5395A Ethernet electri-

cal compliance test fixture and

N5396A Gigabit Ethernet jitter

test cable are available for

making the physical connection

between the Infiniium oscillo-

scope and the device under test.
