Chapter 4 Operation 4.7 Jitter Tolerance Test Procedure 4.7.1 Measurement Sequence Jitter Tolerance measures the tolerance of jitter per each listed jitter frequency. Jitter tolerance is the maximum jitter amplitude at which the number of errors or the error rate becomes equal to or below the Pass/Fail Threshold.

Figure 4.7.2-1 Setup time relationship 4.7.3 Jitter Tolerance Estimate The MX183000A allows BER to be estimated for high rates such as 1E–6 and for low rates such as 1E–20. For example, the BER for E–20 cannot be measured practically, as the error rate produces errors of 1 bit in 10 seconds (>317 years) even with...
Page 104 1E-n Mod.Amplitude[UIp-p] Figure 4.7.3-1 Noise Distribution Estimate and BER Estimate Calculation The MX183000A allows an estimate curve to be plotted if three or more measurement results have an error rate between 1.0E–6 and 1.0E–9 while measuring Jitter Tolerance. Intermediate results as shown in Figure 4.7.3-2 can be obtained for settings as shown in Table 4.6.2-1.
Page 105 Jitter Tolerance Test Procedure If you wish to determine jitter tolerance estimate results accurately for low rates, set Unit to Estimate. Note: Three or more measurement results between 1.0E–6 and 1.0E–9 cannot be obtained if the jitter amplitude reaches the Upper Limit, and the Error Rate at this point is 1.0E–9 or less.
