FuturePlus Systems and DFT Microsystems collaborate on next generation High Speed Serial IO Jitter Tools

MONTREAL, Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ - DFT Microsystems today announces a design win at FuturePlus Systems for its leading edge highly integrated DJ60 SerDes Test Module(TM). FuturePlus Systems is incorporating the DJ60 into their FS5000 - Jitterlyzer PCI Express Multi-Layer Serial Analysis Probes. FuturePlus introduced and demonstrated the FS5000 product at the recent DesignCon event in Santa Clara.

    Features and benefits of the FuturePlus FS5000-Jitterlyzer(TM) include:

    - PHY evaluation: Jitter and timing measurements of high-speed
      transmitters while they are transmitting real bus traffic as well as
      jitter insertion into high-speed receivers while they receive real bus
      traffic
    - All lanes in bus tested simultaneously.
    - Analog signals in the PHY do not get routed outside the board
    - Quick correlations between protocol failures and PHY signal integrity
      made quickly and cost-effectively
    - Low cost, scalable jitter, noise and bit-error-rate solution

"The FS5000-Jitterlyzer is a breakthrough product in terms of cost and performance for the test and measurement world" states David Lisk, President and CEO of DFT Microsystems: "As High Speed Serial IO based products hit the mainstream, end-customers are seeking tools to enable them to better deal with these new challenges in terms of cost and ease of use and the FS5000 appears to deliver on all counts. We're absolutely delighted to be a part of this product".

"We're very excited about the potential for the FS5000-Jitterlyzer not only within our existing extensive customer base, but also for the new potential clients it promises to deliver to us and our channel partners." states Ed Aichinger, President of FuturePlus Systems. "The combination of our protocol analysis expertise and the physical layer test capabilities from DFT Micro is going to be hard to beat."
