Description
The KJM6765 is also capable of measuring the amount of jitter in
CD players by the time interval method, in addition to jitter in
DVD players. Measurements of jitter in DVD/CD compatible
players and other equipment can be achieved using this instrument
alone.
Because the KJM6765 incorporates a the symmetry follow-up
circuit, equalizer circuit (not used in the CD mode), PLL clock-
regeneration circuit, and phase-difference correction circuit, it
eliminates the need for externally provided circuits.
The frequency response characteristics of the symmetry follow-
up, equalizer, or PLL clock-regeneration circuit in the DVD mode
comply with the DVD Specification for Read-Only Disc Ver. 1.0.
Further, the response characteristics of symmetry follow-up or
PLL clock regeneration in the CD mode adhere to the Compact
Disc Reference Measuring Methods Specification Guideline Ver.
1.0 - May 1999.
The instrument has an inhibit input feature that allows jitter
measurement with the header section of DVD-RAM masked.
GPIB interface is available as an option.

• SYMMETRY/LEVEL key
Used to select the symmetry-level follow-up circuit operation
mode.

2-4 Names and Functions of Controls KJM6765

 Pressing the key switches operation mode in order AUTO,
OFFSET, and MANUAL settings.
Pressing this key with the 16 SHIFT key held down causes the
meter to indicate a slice level for as long as the key is pressed. The
0% indication of the meter shows about 0% level with respect to
the full amplitude of an input signal, while the 10% (20%)
indication of the meter shows 100% level. Since the internal circuit
is AC coupling, the actual slice level changes with the duty ratio of
an RF signal.
• SYMMETRY LEDs
The selected operation mode is indicated by an LED to the left of
the SYMMETRY/LEVEL key.

AUTO
In this mode, the slice level will automatically follow up the
symmetry level of an RF signal.
The frequency response characteristics comply with the DVD
Book when MEDIA is DVD-ROM or with the CD Reference
Measuring Methods when MEDIA is CD. That is, the response
characteristic corresponding to the media selected using the
5 MEDIA key is automatically selected.
OFFSET
In this mode, the slice level will automatically follow up the
symmetry level of an RF signal. However, the use of the
SYMMETRY LEVEL variable resistor allows you to set an
offset from the automatic follow-up level.
MANUAL
In this mode, the slice level does not follow up the symmetry
level of an RF signal. Use the SYMMETRY LEVEL variable
resistor to set the slice level manually. When inputting a signal
whose waveform is shaped using any other slicer, always have
the symmetry-circuit operation mode set to MANUAL. Using
the instrument with the symmetry circuit set to any mode other
than MANUAL prevents accurate measurement or completely
disables measurement.

KJM6765 Names and Functions of Controls 2-5

 • SYMMETRY LEVEL variable resistor
Used to set an offset from the automatic follow-up symmetry level
when the symmetry-circuit operation mode is set to OFFSET, or to
set the slice level when the operation mode is set to MANUAL.
When the symmetry-circuit operation mode is set to OFFSET, an
offset can be set to the slice level set in AUTO within 10%
range, where the peak-to-peak amplitude of an RF signal is 100%.
When the SYMMETRY mode is set to MANUAL, the range in
which the slice level can be varied is approximately 10% to 90%,
where the peak-to-peak amplitude of an RF signal is 100%. Since
the internal circuit is AC coupling, the actual slice level changes
with the duty ratio of an RF signal. Set an optimum slice level
according to the duty ratio of the input signal.
For details, see 3.7 "Symmetry and Slice Level".

10 DELAY

• DELAY key
Used to switch the DELAY mode.
Pressing the key switches DELAY mode between AUTO and
MANUAL.
• DELAY LEDs
The selected delay is indicated by an LED to the left of the key.
AUTO
Controls delay time automatically so that the average phase
difference between RF and clock signals is 180˚.
MANUAL
Lets you adjust delay time using the DELAY TIME variable
resistor.
• DELAY TIME variable resistor
Used to set delay time when DELAY mode is set to MANUAL.
Minimum delay time applies when this variable resistor is turned
fully counterclockwise, while the maximum delay time applies
when it is turned fully clockwise. Adjust the variable resistor so
that the jitter distribution is centered within the 2 PHASE
MONITOR.

3.4.1 Measuring Based on the DVD Book

Fig. 3-1
This section describes how to make measurements using the
KJM6765 in place of a TIA (Time Interval Analyzer), using the
measurement method given in the DVD Book.

Connection
Connect an RF signal after slicing and clock signal to the
instrument from the DVD player or other device, as shown in Fig.
3-1. When carrying out measurement, note the signal output
impedance of the device under test. For example, if the signal
output impedance of the DUT is 50Ω, the input impedance of the
instrument should be set to 50Ω and it is recommended that a 50Ω
coaxial cable (such as 3D-2V) be used. If you use a 10:1
oscilloscope probe, set the input impedance of the instrument to 1
MΩ.

KJM6765 Operation 3-5

 When SYMMETRY mode is set to MANUAL, the slice level
needs to be set manually. Follow the procedures given below.
1. Pressing the SYMMETRY key with the SHIFT key held
down. The meter will indicate a slice level until the keys are
released.
2. Turn the SYMMETRY LEVEL variable resistor to set the
slice level required. The meter's 0% indication shows about
0% slice level with respect to the full amplitude of an input
signal, while 10% (20%) indication shows 100% slice level.
Since the internal circuit is AC coupling, the actual slice level
changes with the duty ratio of an RF input signal. Set the
optimal slice level according to the duty ratio of the input
signal. For detail, see 3.7 "Symmetry and Slice Level".
3. The meter indicates the measured value when you release
your hand from the SHIFT key and the SYMMETRY key.

When DELAY mode is set to AUTO, delay time is automatically

adjusted so that the average phase difference between the RF and
clock signals becomes 180˚. Use the instrument with DELAY set
to MANUAL, if AUTO mode is not suitable, as with cases in
which the jitter distribution has two frequency peaks.
When DELAY mode is set to MANUAL, turn the DELAY TIME
variable resistor for optimum phase difference by observing the
PHASE MONITOR. For detail, see 3.8 "Adjusting Delay".

3.6 Setting the Contents of the Setup Memory
A maximum of four types of instrument panel settings can be
stored in the setup memory for later recall.

Store method:
When you press the MEMORY SELECT key, one of LEDs "1" to
"4", indicating the setup memory address at the left of the key,
blinks.
Each time you press the key, the setup memory address switches to
1, 2, 3, and 4 in sequence; select the setup memory address where
you wish to store the panel settings. Pressing the MEMORY
RECALL/STORE key with the SHIFT key held down, stores the
panel settings at the selected setup memory address.
The selection state (condition in which the LED is blinking) will be
automatically cancelled unless you accept a store action within 3
seconds, and will return to the status that existed before the
MEMORY SELECT key was pressed. Moreover, if you change
the panel settings in the selection state, the LED goes off.

Recall method:
There are two methods of recalling the contents of the setup
memory. One is a direct recall in which the contents of the setup
memory are recalled as soon as the MEMORY RECALL/STORE
key is pressed. The other is a select & recall in which you select the
setup memory address to be recalled using the MEMORY
SELECT key and then perform the recall.
• Direct recall
In this method, the contents of the setup memory will be recalled as
soon as you press the MEMORY RECALL/STORE key. Each
time you press the MEMORY RECALL/STORE key, the setup
memory address switches to 1, 2, 3, and 4 in sequence and the
contents of the setup memory are recalled.
If the condition immediately before pressing the MEMORY
RECALL/STORE key is a recall status of the setup memory (the
LED at the left of the key is lit), pressing the MEMORY RECALL/
STORE key causes the contents of the next setup memory address
to be recalled.

3-18 Operation KJM6765

 If the condition immediately before pressing the MEMORY
RECALL/STORE key is a state where the panel settings have been
changed (the LED at the left of the key is unlit), pressing the
MEMORY RECALL/STORE key causes the contents of the setup
memory address recalled before the panel settings were changed to
be recalled again.
Changing the panel settings after recalling the setup memory
contents causes the LED at the left of the key to go off.
• Select & recall
In this method, select the setup memory address you wish to recall
using the MEMORY SELECT key and then press the MEMORY
RECALL/STORE key to recall the contents of that setup memory
address.
When you press the MEMORY SELECT key, one of LEDs "1" to
"4", indicating the setup memory address on the left of the key,
blinks. Each time you press the key, the setup memory address
changes to 1, 2, 3, and 4 in sequence; select the setup memory
address you wish to recall.
Press the MEMORY RECALL/STORE key to recall the contents
of the selected setup memory address.
The selection state (condition in which the LED is blinking) will be
automatically cancelled unless you accept a recall action within 3
seconds, and will return to the status that existed before the
MEMORY SELECT key was pressed. Moreover, if you change
the panel settings in the selection state, the LED goes off.

3.7 Symmetry and Slice Level
The DVD (8-16 modulation) or CD (EFM) modulation systems
provide a time ratio of 50:50 between "1" and "0" when bit strings
are averaged. In other words, DSV (Digital Sum Value) is "0,"
indicating that the signal does not contain a DC value. However,
when signals are recorded to disc, the pit length on the disc
changes, due to various conditions such as optical power at
mastering, the developing time of the original disc, and other
factors. When a pickup reads the disc, the RF signal will have a DC
value. This phenomenon is called "asymmetry." Slicing the RF
signal at the center of the full amplitude of the RF signal when
binary-coding the signal gives a DC value to the signal obtained
after slicing. In slicing the RF signal, a certain slice level will
prevent the signal from taking a DC value after slicing. This level is
known as the symmetry level of the RF signal.

Operations When SYMMETRY mode is set to AUTO

(AUTO: lit)
The KJM6765 has a feature that allows the slice level to follow up
the symmetry level of an RF signal automatically to correct the
asymmetry of the RF signal. This is done by feeding back the slice
level so that the DC value of a signal obtained after slicing the RF
signal becomes 0.

Fig. 3-9

Fig. 3-9 shows a typical automatic symmetry level follow-up

circuit. Changing the slice level of an input signal in this way varies
the DC value of the signal obtained after the slicer. This allows for
feedback control.
3-20 Operation KJM6765
 Operation When SYMMETRY mode is set to OFFSET
(OFFSET: lit)
The OFFSET mode lets you offset the slice level that automatically
follows up the symmetry level in AUTO action. An offset should
be adjusted by turning the variable resistor next to SYMMETRY
mode key, using an adjusting screwdriver.

Operation When SYMMETRY mode is set to MANUAL

(MANUAL: lit)
The automatic symmetry-level follow-up circuit is intended for an
RF signal before slicing. Input of a signal with brief rise and fall
times, such as square waves, limits the control range. For signals
whose duty ratio is not 50%, control is entirely disabled. Thus,
when a sliced signal is input, the automatic symmetry level follow-
up circuit must be disabled.
To disable automatic symmetry level follow-up, set SYMMETRY
to MANUAL.

Fig. 3-10

Fig. 3-10 shows the circuit with SYMMETRY mode set to

MANUAL. When the symmetry mode is set to MANUAL,
feedback control is disconnected and the slice level is given
directly from DAC. The range in which the slice level can be varied
is approximately 10% to 90%, where the peak-to-peak amplitude
of an RF signal is 100%. However, as shown in the figure above,
because the input of the slicer is AC coupled, there is a difference
between the set slice level and the actual slicing level arising from
the duty ratio of the input signal.

KJM6765 Operation 3-21

 e.g.: When the duty ratio of an input signal is 50%

Fig. 3-11
As shown in Fig. 3-11, because a signal whose duty ratio is 50%
(such as a sine wave) does not have a DC value, the set slice level
agrees with the actual level where the signal is sliced. To slice
when the signal is at a point midway between its peaks, set the slice
level to 50%.

e.g.: When the duty ratio of an input signal is not 50%

Fig. 3-12
As shown in Fig. 3-12, if a signal whose duty ratio is not 50% is
input, coupling it to AC causes a DC offset. In the example above,
because the duty ratio of the input signal is 25:75, the signal
obtained after coupling to AC will be offset up by 25%. Thus, to
slice when the signal is at a point midway between its peaks, set the
slice level to 75%.
If the duty ratio is not 50%, check the signal using an oscilloscope
or the like and set an optimum slice level by referring to the above
example.
Since the frequency bandwidth of the RF input is about 60 MHz,
for thin pulses with pulse width below 15 ns, the amplitude may
decrease, KJM6765 cannot measure jitter.

3-22 Operation KJM6765

 Checking and Setting Slice Level
The slice level can be adjusted using the SYMMETRY LEVEL
variable resistor when OFFSET or MANUAL mode is set in the
SYMMETRY mode.
1. Pressing the SYMMETRY/LEVEL key with the SHIFT key
held down, While the keys are held down, the meter indicates
a slice level. The slice level is indicated relative to a meter

3.8 Adjusting Delay
To measure the amount of jitter of an RF signal relative to a clock
signal, the ideal average phase difference between the edge of the
clock signal and that of the RF signal is 180˚.

Fig. 3-15

Fig. 3-16

Two timings in Figs. 3-15 and 3-16 compare the phase difference
between the RF and clock signals at 180˚ and the phase difference
between them at 330˚. Essentially, jitter should be distributed in the
range 0 to 360˚, as shown in Fig. 3-15, but is distributed at 0˚ and
330˚ in Fig. 3-16. This results in a higher a standard deviation
value, and jitter cannot be measured accurately. The phase
difference must be adjusted so that the average phase difference
between the two signals is located at 180˚.
This adjustment can be handled by the delay circuit. When
DELAY mode is set to AUTO, the instrument automatically
adjusts the average phase difference to 180˚. When DELAY is set
to MANUAL, use the variable resistor next to the DELAY key to

3-24 Operation KJM6765

 adjust the phase difference so that the peak (brightest part) of the
PHASE MONITOR above the meter is approximately centered.

3.9 Selection of Trigger Edge
This meter measures the time difference between the RF signal and
the clock signal and indicates its dispersion as a standard deviation
value. To measure the time difference, specify the two edges of
each signal to be measured, using the RF SIGNAL TRIG EDGE
key and CLOCK TRG EDGE key.

Fig.3-19
3-26 Operation KJM6765
 Recommended Settings
In the DVD Book, it is necessary to measure the RF signal at its
rising edge and falling edge. Thus, when selecting a trigger edge
for the RF signal, it is recommended that both edges be set.
Regarding the edges of the clock signal, select an edge that
coincides with the timing for latching the RF signal sliced in the
DVD player or drive, using the CLOCK TRIG EDGE key.
○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

NOTE • When measuring an RF signal that has had single edge

converted by edge detection, set the trigger edge of the RF
signal in the meter to either the rising edge or the falling
edge, thus bringing the trigger edge into line with the RF
signal to be measured. Note that measurement fails if both
edges are selected at the same time.

Fig. 3-20
In this case, be sure to select the rising edge as the trigger
edge of the RF signal of the meter.

3.10 Calibrating the Probe
In addition to a 50Ω coaxial cable, you may also use a 10:1 probe
with a 100 MHz bandwidth.
If you use the probe, calibrate the probe (phase correction) as
follows first:

Measuring Instrument and Other Items Required for Calibration

100 MHz bandwidth
oscilloscope 1 Kikusui COR5500 or equivalent
50Ω BNC-BNC cable 1 Kikusui SA550 or equivalent
50Ω terminator 1
Adjusting screwdriver 1

Fig. 3-21

As shown in Fig. 3-21, connect the BNC-BNC cable and probe so

that they run parallel, without forming large loops (which are
vulnerable to external noise). Insert the adjusting screwdriver
through the phase adjusting hole and correct the phase while
monitoring square waves on the oscilloscope. For adjusting
waveforms, see the description of the oscilloscope probe
calibration method.

Messages and terminators

Program message
The text of data that is transmitted from the controller(computor or
other controllers) to a device(KJM6765 or other devices) is called a
program message. Program messages are grouped into two types:
command messages, which carry device data, and query messages,
which request response messages.
Abbreviations are provided for program messages and some
character program data. (Abbreviations omit lower-case characters
from program message headings.)
Response message
The text of data that is transmitted from a device to the controller is
called a response message.
All response messages are returned in abbreviations.
Message structure
Each message is composed of a program header and data.
Terminator

• Program message terminator

The terminator used to mark the end of a program message is
called a program message terminator.

• Response message terminator

The terminator used to mark the end of a response message is
called a response message terminator.

NOTE • Use the shielded type of 25-pin D-sub connector and cable
to avoid malfunction caused by noise and other problems.
The shields should be connected to any of the GND
terminals of the EXT I/O connector.
• The input ports are pulled up at 10 kΩ.
• The output impedance of the output ports is 240 to 290Ω.
• The response time of within-measuring-range output (IN
MEAS RANGE) is the time obtained by adding
approximately 0 to 50 ms to the set value of TIME
CONST.
However, if any of the variable resistors on the panel is
operated, and during control by GPIB, it is the time
obtained by adding approximately 0 to 200 ms to the set
time of TIME CONST.
For details on how to set TIME CONST, refer to [7] TIME

Incrementing the setup memory address

Connecting the INC terminal (no. 11) to the GND terminal (pin no.
1, 10, 13, 14, or 25) causes the INC terminal to become "Low".
Holding the INC terminal "Low" for 100 ms or more causes the
setup memory address to be incremented by 1 and the contents of
the resulting setup memory address to be recalled.
Decrementing the setup memory address
Connecting the DEC terminal (no. 12) to the GND terminal (pin
no. 1, 10, 13, 14, or 25) causes the DEC terminal to become "Low".
Holding the DEC terminal "Low" for 100 ms or more causes the
setup memory address to be decremented by 1 and the contents of
the resulting setup memory address to be recalled.
Returning the setup memory address
Connecting the RTN terminal (no. 24) to the GND terminal (pin
no. 1, 10, 13, 14, or 25) causes the RTN terminal to become "Low".
Holding the RTN terminal "Low" for 100 ms or more causes the
setup memory address to return to "1" and the contents of the
resulting memory 1 to be recalled.

Chapter 7 Specifications
Measurement Principle

Time difference in a clock signal is measured several times based

on an RF signal, and variations in the time difference are obtained
as percentages relative to a single clock period, assuming that a
single clock period is 100%.
In the actual method of obtaining a standard deviation value, a time
difference is converted into a voltage and this voltage is converted
into the jitter value by the rms conversion circuit.
The unit of jitter value is % or ns.

RF signal Time difference

CLOCK signal

Duration of one period

is regarded as 100%.
