Overview of the Infiniium DCA-X
The 86100D DCA-X can be viewed as four powerful instruments in one:
Scope mode
Jitter mode
High-fidelity waveform characterization (Yellow: raw trace, Blue:
de-embedded waveform)
Precision jitter, amplitude, and frequency analysis capability
Eye/Mask mode
TDR/TDT mode
Fast transmitter characterization using eye diagram analysis and
automated mask margin measurements
Accurate time domain reflectometry/transmission and S-Parameter
measurements
These modes are further complimented by the following features
that provide additional insight and analysis capability:
–– De-embedding, embedding, equalizer capability
–– Phase noise/Jitter spectrum analysis
–– Phase locked loop (PLL) analysis
–– And more…
Modular
Precision measurements, more margin, and more
insight
The 86100D DCA-X oscilloscope combines high analog
bandwidth, low jitter, and low noise performance to accurately
characterize optical and electrical designs from 50 Mb/s to over
80 Gb/s. The mainframe provides the foundation for powerful
insight and measurement capability, such as de-embedding of
cables and fixtures, that improve margins and allow engineers to
see the true performance of their designs.
The modular system means that the instrument can grow to
meet your needs, when you need it. There’s no need to purchase
capability that you don’t need now. The DCA-X supports a wide
range of modules for testing optical and electrical designs. Select
modules to get the specific bandwidth, filtering, and sensitivity
you need. The DCA-X supports all modules in the DCA family and
is 100% backwards compatible with the 86100C mainframe.
High channel count
The DCA-X can measure from one to 16 channels simultaneously
with no significant loss in throughput. Create an affordable
high-capacity test system by measuring multiple signals in
parallel.
Software
The DCA-X provides powerful analysis capability that is enabled
through licensed software options.
Examples include 86100D-200 for fast and accurate jitter
analysis, 86100D-SIM for de-embedding and/or embedding of
fixtures and cables, and the N1012A/N1014A/N108XA Series test
applications.

Specifications
General and mainframe
Comparing specifications
Specifications describe warranted performance over the
temperature range of +10 to +40 °C (unless otherwise noted).
The specifications are applicable for the temperature after the
instrument is turned on for one hour, and while self-calibration
is valid. Many performance parameters are enhanced through
frequent, simple user calibrations. Characteristics provide useful,
non-warranted information about the functions and performance
of the instrument. Characteristics are printed in italic typeface.
Product specifications and descriptions in this document are
subject to change without notice.
When comparing performance attributes between instruments,
ensure you compare the same type of parameter. For example,
compare warranted specifications from both instruments, or
compare characteristics or typical performance. Warranted
specifications include measurement uncertainties and are
conservative compared to other types of unwarranted attributes.
Factory calibration cycle - For optimum performance, the
instrument should have a complete verification of specifications
once every twelve months.

The internal precision timebase works with typical digital clock signals, such as a BERT output, as well as sine waves. If the rise time or fall time of the
clock signal is less than 15% of the period of the clock (for example, less than 15 ps for a 10 GHz clock), reduce the edge speed by using an external
low-pass filter. or length of cable. For the lowest jitter, use a signal that is as close as possible to the maximum signal amplitude (1.3 Vpp) and minimize any
sub-harmonics.
2. High Sensitivity Hysteresis mode improves the high frequency trigger sensitivity but is not recommended when using noisy, low frequency signals that may
result in false triggers without normal hysteresis enabled.
3. Module triggering enables precision waveform analyzer modules (86108), clock recovery modules (83496) and TDR modules to be used as a trigger source.
Without support for module triggering, external connections between the module and the mainframe may be required.
4. 86100D mainframes ship with a 2.92mm (f) to (f) adapter for this port.

Precision time base (86108 configurations)
The 86108 has an integrated precision timebase within the plug-in module. The 86108A/B can be triggered through clock recovery of
the observed signal, through an external reference clock into the precision timebase section, or with the precision timebase operating
on the clock signal recovered from the observed signal. The following specifications indicate the 86100 system timebase specifications
achieved when using the 86108A/B plug-in module. (The 86100 mainframe and the 86108A/B module can also be triggered with
a signal into the mainframe. In this configuration, the basic mainframe specifications are achieved.) If the 86108A/B is placed in a
mainframe that has an integrated precision timebase (86100D-PTB), the integrated mainframe precision timebase is disabled.

Module has receptacle to supply power for external probe.
Pick any four rates (155 Mb/s to 6.25 Gb/s).
This module is not compatible with the 86100A and 86100B Digital Communication Analyzer (DCA) mainframes. If you would like to upgrade older DCA’s
contact Keysight Technologies and ask for current trade-in deals.
4. The 86108A/B uses all module slots and includes an internal clock recovery and precision timebase capabilities.
5. 4 optical input ports are switched internally to two optical-to-electrical (O/E) converters.
6. All modules with optical channels can use Option IRC to enhance the effective operating range. Reference receivers can be created at any rate within
± 50% of the hardware capability. IRC also corrects non-ideal (but compliant) hardware performance to yield ideal reference receiver responses.
7.

How does Keysight test and setup your module?
The N1046A bandwidth is tested using a very fast electrical impulse that is generated by a photodiode driven by a femtosecond optical
impulse source. The high bandwidth photodiode is calibrated and NIST traceable through 110 GHz. For frequencies beyond 110 GHz,
photodiode performance is based on a linear extrapolation of the photodiode response through 110 GHz but test data beyond 110 GHz
is not provided.
User note:
For customers needing the maximum possible bandwidth, the 122 GHz setting is recommended. For customers needing high bandwidth with “matched” performance across channels, the 100 GHz setting is recommended.
1.
Tuned to be —3 dB (± measurement uncertainty) at stated bandwidth(s) EXCEPT for the 122 GHz setting which is tuned for maximum bandwidth while
keeping channel noise ≤ 2.5 mV RMS.

Software Applications
86100D-200 enhanced jitter analysis
86100D-SIM InfiniiSim-DCA
Option 200 provides extensive and accurate jitter decomposition,
which is increasingly important as data rates increase and margins
reduce. Quickly customize your view of many parameters and take
advantage of advanced features such as jitter spectrum analysis.
At higher data rates, the effect of measurement fixtures and
channels is prominent and can be accounted for through the
de-embedding capabilities within Option SIM. You may also view
measurements on live and simulated signals, allowing you to
compare design intent to actual performance.
86100D-201 advanced waveform analysis
Take advantage of powerful features in Option 201 to generate
much deeper waveform files, integrate MATLAB analysis, and use
equalizers (CTLE, LFE, DFE), User Operators and User Defined
Measurements.
86100D-202 enhanced impedance and S-parameter
Option 202 works in TDR mode and provides live S-parameter
responses, including magnitude (return loss, insertion loss, etc.),
phase and group delay. Single-ended, differential and mixedmode responses are available simultaneously. Also enables quick
and easy saving of measurement results in Touchstone files (.s2p,
.s4p, etc.).
86100D-300 amplitude analysis/RIN/Q-factor
Extend the many capabilities from jitter mode into the amplitude
domain and see the decomposition of the amplitude into several
factors. Option 300 also reports relative intensity noise (RIN) and
Q-factor.
86100D-400 PLL and jitter spectrum
Option 400 quickly characterizes key parameters of phase-locked
loops and provides the jitter spectrum of your signal including
spread spectrum clocks. Control of the jitter source and receiver
is integrated to ensure fast results.
86100D-401 advanced EYE analysis
For device testing with long patterns and to obtain BER-contour
mask testing, Option 401 integrates with the classic or FlexDCA
interfaces to decompose the jitter and amplitude interference
measurements into the key parameters. When using the
embedded capability within FlexDCA or the included automation
application, you may characterize jitter on simultaneous multiple
lanes and obtain concise and visual results.
86100D-9FP PAM-N analysis software
Accurately and quickly analyze Pulse Amplitude Modulation
(PAM) signals as described in IEEE 802.3bj Clause 94 and
developing standards such as OIF-CEI-56G and IEEE 400G.
86100D-TFP IEEE TDECQ Analysis software
A lower cost subset of option 9FP capabilities that targets optical
Transmitter production test applications
N1012A OIF CEI compliance and debug application
The N1012A application lets you fully characterize the ~120 transmitter test parameters (including 28G-VSR), reducing your test time
from hours to minutes. Included are return loss tests and several
utilities to improve your test productivity. Debug mode enables you
to characterize your devices well beyond the parameters prescribed
in the implementation agreements.
N1014A SFF-8431 compliance and debug
application
The N1014A application lets you fully characterize ~70 test
parameters including all transmitter tests for host, module and host
copper and all test signals for receiver testing. Return loss tests and
utilities are also included.
N1019A user-defined application
You may create your own test application or suite of tests using the
DCA-X and other instruments. Quickly and intuitively create groups
of tests, test descriptions, user prompts and test limits. Use concise
HTML reports to share your multiple test results with your users.
N1081-4A IEEE802.3 Ethernet applications
The extensive requirements for IEEE802.3-2012, 802.3bj and
802.3bm are covered in these four applications, which comprise
> 400 tests. Characterize your device for one, four or ten lanes, and
analyze trends over time/temperature and between devices.
N1085A PAM4 Ethernet and OIF-CEI
Measurement Application
The N1085A software application covers PAM-4 transmitter
measurements outlined in IEEE P802.3bs and four OIF-CEI-4.0
(56G) clauses.
86100D-BFP Automatic Fixture Removal (AFR)
When measuring physical layer devices with non-coaxial interfaces,
test fixtures or probes are often used to connect the device under
test (DUT) to the measurement equipment. For accurate measurements of the DUT, the fixtures or probes need to be characterized
and their effects removed from the composite measurement of
the DUT plus test fixture or probe combination. This option adds
the Automatic Fixture Removal (AFR) capability from Keysight’s
powerful N1930B Physical Layer Test System (PLTS) software to
help you characterize a fixture or probe with non-coaxial interfaces.
Fixtures and probes to be characterized can be single-ended or
differential.

Option 500 productivity package including TDEC
Option 500 enables Rapid Eye acquisition and TDEC (transmitter
dispersion and eye closure) measurements. Rapid Eye achieves
two significant benefits. First, unlike conventional sampling
and data display, when an eye mask test is performed, every
acquired sample will be compared to the mask, as the central
eye is composed of all acquired samples. Effective throughput is
improved at least 60%. Second, incomplete eye diagram displays
that can occur when triggering at sub-rates are eliminated. TDEC
is a complex eye diagram measurement required for new high
data rate standards deployed over multimode fiber. It is easily
and quickly achieved with the automated TDEC measurement.
(IEEE 802.3bm and T11 FC-PI-6P require a specific TDEC channel
bandwidth, achieved with 86105D/86115D-Option 168.)

Limit lines
–– With the limit line editor, you can modify an existing limit line
or create a new limit line from a current waveform or manual
data entry.
–– Limit lines are displayed boundaries used for pass/fail testing
in oscilloscope and TDR/TDT instrument modes, and they
are similar to masks in Eye/Mask mode.
–– Any data point that occurs above an upper limit line or below
a lower limit line causes a failed condition. A failed portion of
a waveform that is beyond the limit line boundary is displayed
in red.
Waveform autoscaling
Autoscaling provides quick horizontal and vertical scaling of both
pulse and eye-diagram (RZ and NRZ) waveforms.
Gated triggering
Trigger gating port allows easy external control of data
acquisition for circulating loop or burst-data experiments. Use
TTL-compatible signals to control when the instrument does and
does not acquire data.

Easier calibrations
IVI-COM capability
Calibrating your instrument has been simplified by placing all
the performance level indicators and calibration procedures in a
single high-level location. This provides greater confidence in the
measurements made and saves time in maintaining equipment.
Interchangeable Virtual Instruments (IVI) is a group of new
instrument device software specifications created by the IVI
Foundation to simplify interchangeability, increase application
performance, and reduce the cost of test program development
and maintenance through design code reuse. The 86100D
IVI-COM drivers are available for download from the Keysight
website.
Stimulus response testing using the Keysight
Technologies, Inc. N490X, M8000 Series BERTs
Error performance analysis represents an essential part of digital
transmission test products. Together, the Keysight 86100D and
BERT products create a powerful test solution. If stimulus only
is needed, the 81133A and 81134A pattern generators work
seamlessly with the 86100D.
Transitioning from the Keysight 83480A and
86100A/B/C to the 86100D
While the 86100D has powerful new functionality that its
predecessors don’t have, it has been designed to maintain
compatibility with the Keysight 86100A, 86100B, 86100C and
Keysight 83480A digital communications analyzers and Keysight
54750A wide-bandwidth oscilloscope. All modules used in the
Keysight 86100A/B/C, 83480A and 54750A can also be used in
the 86100D. Since the 86100D includes the classic DCA interface,
the remote programming command set for the 86100D designed
for the 86100A/B/C will work directly. Some code modifications
are required when transitioning from the 83480A and 54750A,
but the command set is designed to minimize the level of effort
required.

b. Using a DCA module equipped with a rear-panel trigger circuit.
Examples include 54754A, 83496x, and 86108A/B modules. If
operating these modules in an 86100D with Option STR, an external
cable (such as P/N 5062-6690) must be connected from the module’s
front panel trigger/clock output to the 86100D’s trigger input.
Requires 86100D mainframe (not compatible with 86100A/B/C).
This module is not compatible with the 86100A and 86100B DCA
mainframes. If you want to upgrade older DCAs, contact Keysight

86100D-ETR is recommended when;
a. More than 1 TDR module is connected to the same DUT.
b. Using a DCA module equipped with a rear-panel trigger circuit.
Examples include 54754A, 83496x, and 86108A/B modules. If
operating these modules in an 86100D with Option STR, an external
cable (such as P/N 5062-6690) must be connected from the module’s
front panel trigger/clock output to the 86100D’s trigger input.
Requires 86100D mainframe (not compatible with 86100A/B/C).
This module is not compatible with the 86100A and 86100B DCA
mainframes. If you want to upgrade older DCAs, contact Keysight
Technologies to discuss current trade-in deals.
Supports both DCA-X and DCA-M platforms. For detailed
N1076A/N1077A specifications, refer to the data sheet located at
www.keysight.com/find/N1077A. Standalone clock recovery instruments
are controlled via a USB connection to an 86100D DCA-X mainframe or a
user-supplied PC running N1010A FlexDCA software.
Included with each of these TDR modules is a TDR trigger cable, two 50 Ω
SMA terminations and one SMA short.
