Clock and data recovery

Clock and Data Recovery is an electrical clock & data recovery module that plugs into the XBERT and ParalleX Chassis. Covering a data-rate of 9.9 to 11.3Gbps, the module is suitable for applications such as SONET/SDH OC-192/STM64, 10Gbps Fibre-Channel, ITU G.709, and 10Gbps Ethernet. Optionally, operation to 11.3Gbps can be specified. Front panel indicators give immediate status of signal detection and CDR module lock status. Although intended for use with the EBERT pattern generator/error detector, the CDR finds a variety of other applications as a low-cost standalone clock & data recovery module.
