  2. A bit error rate tester (BERT) • A Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT), also known as Bit Error Ratio Tester is an electronic test instrument used to test a component or system’s signal transmission fidelity. • Using a sequence of logical ones and zeros generated by a pseudo-random binary sequencer, a BERT compares the received signals against the know binary sequence to detect bit errors. • The main building blocks of a Bit Error Rate Tester are: • Pattern Generator, which transmits a defined test pattern to the DUT or test system • Error Detector connected to the DUT or test system, to count the errors generated by the DUT or test system • Clock signal generator to synchronize the pattern gen-erator and the error detector

  3. A bit error rate tester (BERT) • Design shows implementation using GigaBit Logic components • Assignment requires useof Synergy/Micrel ECL components • Assignment involves • Schematic • Board stackup • Layout • Timing analysis, max clock freq • Supply current analysis • Bill of materials • Cooling analysis
