This paper describes a multi-gigahertz test module to enhance the performance capabilities of automated test equipment (ATE), such as high-speed signal generation, loopback testing, jitter injection, etc. The test module includes a core logic block consisting of a high-performance FPGA. It is designed to be compatible with existing ATE infrastructure; connecting to the device under test (DUT) via a device interface board (DIB). The core logic block controls the test module's functionality, thereby allowing it to operate independently of the ATE. Exploiting recent advances in FPGA SerDes, the test module is able to generate very high (multi-GHz) data rates at a relatively low cost. In this paper we demonstrate multiplexing logic to generate higher data rates (up to 10Gbps) and a low-jitter buffered loopback path to carry high speed signals from the DUT back to the DUT. The test module can generate 10Gbps signals with ~32ps (p-p) jitter, while the loopback path adds ~20ps (p-p) jitter to the input signal. |
