Yes, this is possible across any number of lanes (depending on user selection). The loopback capability of the SV1C is truly flexible and includes: – Retiming of data for the purpose of decoupling DUT receiver performance from DUT transmitter performance – Latency alignment during loopback – Arbitrary jitter or skew injection on loopback data The following block diagrams show two common loopback configurations that can be used with the SV1C. In the first configuration, a single DUT’s transmitter and receiver channels are connected together through the SV1C. In the second configuration, arbitrary pattern testing can be performed on an end-to-end communications link. The SV1C is used to pass data through from a traffic generator (such as an end-point on a real system board) to the DUT while stressing the DUT receiver with jitter or skew.
