Quantifi Photonics launches new instrument for high-speed I/O testing
The company, which provides test solutions for PICs, CPO, and pluggable optics, says its new product enables engineers and manufacturers to reduce costs, accelerate time-to-market, and achieve precise validation for next-generation communication systems
Quantifi Photonics, a company focusing on test and measurement solutions for design verification testing and high-volume manufacturing, has announced the launch of the QCR Series Clock Recovery Instrument at DesignCon 2025.
The solution is designed to extract clean, stable clock signals from high-speed data streams to trigger a digital sampling oscilloscope. According to Quantifi, the new product features low-jitter architecture and precision phase-lock capabilities, offering a reliable and scalable platform for validating and characterising next-generation communication systems when paired with the company’s QCA Series High-Speed Communication Analyzer.
The QCR Series is designed for a wide range of high-speed data communication applications, including characterisation of high-speed interconnects, and validation testing of high-speed integrated circuits. The company notes that having an accurate clock recovery instrument that locks to 100G data signals and tracks the clock PLL is essential for reliable, standards-compliant IEEE 802.3ck measurements.
According to Quantifi, the product has been purposefully designed to support design verification testing and high-volume manufacturing testing, ensuring optimal performance for critical applications such as transmitter jitter and eye diagram measurements.
“The launch of the QCR Series represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to driving innovation in high-speed I/O test and measurement,” said Kees Propstra, vice president of global sales and marketing for Quantifi Photonics. “With its exceptional performance in a compact and scalable form factor, the QCR Series enables engineers and manufacturers to reduce costs, accelerate time-to-market, and achieve precise validation for next-generation communication systems.”
