IEEE Approves 802.3az
October 4, 2010
On September 30, IEEE approved the standard for Energy Efficient Ethernet, IEEE 802.3az-2010. Eight days prior, we published “Energy Efficient Ethernet brings new testing challenges,” an article by Jeff Lapak and Jon Beckwith, senior engineers at the UNH-IOL. The article covers the testing aspects that many engineers will have to confront.
Tools aid debug and validation to MIPI M-PHY specification
September 28, 2010
At the MIPI Alliance All-Members meeting in Athens, Greece, Tektronix Inc. has introduced tools that enable engineers to use its DPO/DSA/MSO70000B series oscilloscope to start performance verification and debug for the MIPI Alliance M-PHY standard.
Energy Efficient Ethernet brings on testing challenges
September 23, 2010
Like so many industries, the networking industry is looking to reduce energy consumption. Ethernet equipment manufacturers are in the midst of a standardization effort to reduce the power they consume. IEEE 802.3az is the developing standard the will define how networking products cut energy usage by introducing a “sleep” mode. If you’re responsible for testing Ethernet PHYs (physical-layers) you need to understand how the technology will work and what tests it will need.
Ethernet standard to cut energy use
