Teledyne LeCroy's QPHY2-PCIE6-TX-RX PCI Express 6.0 electrical transmitter and receiver software is a fully automated test solution meeting the PCIe 6.0 Base specification requirements for characterizing and testing both transmitters and receivers.

Simple yet powerful transmitter equalization analysis software guides the user though setting up the physical test setup connections. Clear, informative connection diagrams help simplify complex test setups and reduce mistakes. QPHY2-PCIE6-TX-RX automatically configures the test equipment and device under test to perform transmitter measurements.

To test a PCI Express receiver, the signal applied must meet stipulated voltage swing and preset levels, precisely calibrated noise and jitter impairments, and a prescribed level of eye closure due to channel loss. QPHY2-PCIE6-TX-RX controls both the oscilloscope and BERT to automate the entire iterative calibration and test process.

• Voltage swing and preset emphasis levels
• Random and sinusoidal jitter addition
• Differential-mode and common-mode noise
• Eye closure through loss channel selection
• Jitter tolerance (JTOL) testing
• Receiver link equalization testing

Transmitter link equalization testing a vital step for PCIe electrical compliance and interoperability across systems. A PCIe device’s transmitter must apply the appropriate amount of equalization to the transmitted signal to ensure the receiver operates error free.

• Sets up and controls the Teledyne LeCroy WavePulser 40iX during measurements
• Guides the user with a connection diagram at each step of the process
• Automatically makes the measurements and transfers measured data to QualiPHY 2 compliance test software
• Performs all the necessary additional calculations within the QualiPHY 2 compliance test software
• Generates a complete report for the PCIe fixture characterization, equivalent to the existing manual process
