[SI-LIST] Re: PRBS Data patterns

[Bob Patel <whizplayer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi! Mark, Greimm and Vinu, I ran the experiment
further and over an interval of 10minutes I find that
with PRBS 2^31-1 the BER is 1.873e-11. This error
ratio is when 0 is transitioning to 1 and the error
ratio is 0 for 1-->0. So I think when there is long
run of zero's in the pattern and then the data bit
switches to 1 there is an error. I will try to look at
the pattern on the scope and see if I can see the
error happening. In the EYE mode I think the pk-pk
jitter goes up with the longer string.
Thanks
Bob
