12-Gbps Multi-Channel BERT Board Reference Design
Texas Instruments


This reference design is a 12-Gbps low-cost bit error tester (BERT) capable of generating and checking up to 8 channels of pseudo-random binary sequences (PRBS). This validated design is a convenient way to generate multi-channels high speed serial bit streams of up to 12-Gbps: and checking incoming serial bit streams for possble bit errors. This design can be used as a hand-held BERT useful for evaluating the signal integrity and bit error error performance of a high speed sub-system.
