Agilent Technologies' Test Solutions Chosen by Allion Test Labs for USB 3.0, HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort Compliance Testing

These two announcements demonstrate the continuing long-term relationship between Agilent and Allion Test Labs, and Agilent's ability to provide leading-edge test and measurement solutions for HDMI, USB, SATA and DisplayPort standards compliance and certification testing.

We choose Agilent as a strategic partner for emerging high-speed applications that cover USB 3.0, HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 2.0, SAS/SATA 12 Gbps and TransferJet, because Agilent is recognized for its technical expertise in standards bodies and compliance programs, said James Ou, director of the Engineering Service Division at Allion Test Labs' -- Taiwan headquarters. We understand the importance of having the most accurate and hardware upgradeable test equipment available. We selected Agilent test equipment for our facilities because of its powerful functions in test automation, ease of use and scope bandwidth upgradeable to 32 GHz, and J-BERT supporting up to 14.2 Gbps data rates.

With the increase of high-speed digital interfaces in many electronic devices, test houses and designers need the right tools to ensure their electronic designs comply with the latest industry standards. Allion's testing labs will use the following Agilent products: the Infiniium 90000A Series oscilloscopes and compliance testing software; J-Bert N4903B high-performance serial BERT; 81134A pulse/pattern generator and N5990A test automation software platform .

* Agilent Infiniium oscilloscopes offer the world's deepest acquisition memory and the world's first hardware/software integrated triggering system, InfiniiScan Plus. The Infiniium Series was designed to give engineers superior signal integrity, deep application analysis, and better insight into their designs.
* Agilent J-BERT N4903B high-performance serial BERT offers the most complete jitter tolerance test solution for accurate characterization and compliance testing of many popular gigabit serial bus standards.
* Agilent N5990A test automation software platform is a powerful test tool for serial and multi-lane gigabit device testing. It has a unique universal platform for testing digital receiver and transmitter ports of multiple gigabit standards, such as PCI Express®, USB, SATA, HDMI or MIPI.
* Agilent 81134A pulse/pattern generator offers excellent timing and performance requirements. Its fast rise times and low intrinsic jitter allow the precise and in-depth characterization of devices, such as receivers or backplanes.
