TDES960: Back channel waveform measurement method

Part Number: TDES960

Hi All,

I have aquestion about TDES960.

The datasheet shows the back channel output waveform (Figure 6-12.).Is it possible to measure this?
If it is possible, please tell me how.

Best Regards,
Ishiwata

  • Hi Shuji, 

    In operational mode there is no way to capture only the back channel output waveform since it is super-imposed over the forward channel. Technically, you can unhook the serializer and see the BC waveform, but then it is unterminated. 

    Generally speaking, there isn't any scenerio where we recommend to need to measure/characterize the back-channel signal; as there aren't any system specifications laid out in the datasheet to need to meet concerning the back-channel. 

    Regards,
