What does Keysight do?SANTA ROSA, Calif., April 10, 2015
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced the availability of its Method of Implementation (MOI) document for cable-connector assembly compliance tests defined in version 1.3 of the DisplayPort standard. The MOI, together with the setup file, works with the ENA Series network analyzer's enhanced time domain analysis option (E5071C-TDR) to provide the industry's first compliance test solution for DisplayPort 1.3 cable assemblies. This step-by-step guide simplifies DisplayPort cable-connector compliance setup and testing.
Increased demand for bandwidth has driven the continual evolution of the DisplayPort standard to support higher data rates. Version 1.3 of the standard supports the new High Bit Rate 3 (HBR3) data rate, which provides a link rate of 8.1 Gbps per lane. This is a 50 percent increase in total link rate compared to the current DisplayPort 1.2a standard. This data rate increase results in even tougher requirements for the physical layer to ensure interoperability. To ensure that cable assemblies comply with the DisplayPort 1.3 standard, they must be fully characterized in both the time and frequency domains.
"Keysight MOIs are available for a variety of different high-speed digital applications such as USB, HDMI and Ethernet," said Akira Nukiyama, vice president and general manager, Keysight's Component Test Division, Kobe. "Our newest addition to this list, the DisplayPort 1.3 MOI, is another example of how we are working to give our customers the functionality they need to address high-speed measurement challenges."
The DisplayPort 1.3 MOI for use with the E5071C-TDR is available now at www.keysight.com/find/ena-tdr_dp1_3-cabcon. Additional information on the MOIs available for E5071C-TDR is available at www.keysight.com/find/ena-tdr_compliance.
