Abstract: A system and method for jitter injection is provided. The system may include a serializer-deserializer (SerDes) circuit. In some examples, the serializer-deserializer (SerDes) circuit have a pre-emphasis circuit and a post emphasis circuit. The system may also include a controller, which may be used to apply specific and varying amounts of pre-emphasis and post-emphasis. The system may also include a jitter injector. In some examples, the jitter injector may be used to inject jitter into the serializer-deserializer (SerDes) circuit based on the applied pre-emphasis and post-emphasis.

Abstract: A dynamically reconfigurable interface for an automatic test equipment is disclosed where one or more synthetic instruments transmit the high speed signals as well as receive the high speed signals from a device under test so that testing can be performed at speeds higher than the ATE was originally designed to accommodate. Synthetic instruments are implemented on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) that operate at higher speeds than COTS instruments and can reach the frequencies that high speed I/O buses use. SIs can be created by configuring the FPGA, with different configurations creating different SIs. A single FPGA can house a number of SIs.
