This unit generates and checks Pseudo Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) of 7, 15 or 31 order, up to 32Gbps. Error count is accurate: no double counts or omissions regardless of error sequence or frequency of occurrence. Can be used as Generator, Checker or both. No inductors are used minimizing area and EM interference. Simple control interface, with low frequency asynchronous signals only.
