Wavecrest selects Inphi amps
By Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 10/1/2006
Inphi’s GigaTrack family of high-frequency track-and-hold amplifiers (THAs) is being used by Wavecrest as a fundamental building block for its family of signal integrity analysis systems, beginning with the SIA-4000. Wavecrest’s test equipment analyzes serial data communication and clock signals for a wide variety of applications. The SIA-4000 tests serial data applications with speeds of up to 12.5 Gbps, including PCI Express Gen2, fully buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM), 8X Fibre Channel, and OC-192 SONET.
The high-bandwidth capability of Inphi’s 1821TH-S01BGA track-and-hold amplifiers enables the SIA-4000 to perform high-bandwidth sampling of signals under test in high-data-rate applications, as well as high-frequency clock and PLL designs. www.inphi-corp.com.
