Complete PCI Express^® Electrical Test Solutions

After a training operation, the MP1900A displays the actual Training State transition logs, so the state transition path (route) and transition times can be analyzed in detail.

State transitions can be selected as the oscilloscope acquisition trigger, allowing the link training operation to be analyzed in depth using ProtoSync on the oscilloscope.

PCIEBus Decode and ProtoSync protocol analysis software provide views of the complete protocol stack, from physical layer to transaction layer. Physical layer and protocol views are linked directly to each other at all times touch a packet on either software interface, and the oscilloscope will highlight and zoom to that packet in both views.

QualiPHY PCIe software leverages Teledyne LeCroy’s ProtoSync, allowing you to switch seamlessly from electrical to protocol views during the LEQ tests—a feature unique to our solutions. If a failure or issue is detected, the oscilloscope, BERT and Device Under Test are already configured to provide unmatched visibility into the entire link training operation.

LabMaster 10 Zi-A oscilloscopes a platform for all generations of PCIe testing, at all required bandwidths:

• 50 GHz for PCI Express 6.0
• 50 GHz for PCI Express 5.0
• 25 GHz for PCI Express 4.0
• 13 GHz for PCI Express 3.0

The LabMaster 10 Zi-A is available in models up to 65 GHz bandwidth and has a 20-core processor with up to 192 GB of RAM for significantly faster receiver test calibration and transmitter testing.

QualiPHY software options QPHY-PCIE3-TX-RX, QPHY-PCIE4-TX-RX, and QPHY-PCIE5-TX-RX fully automate all aspects of PCIe compliance testing:

• Transmitter testing
• Receiver test calibration and execution
• Link Equalization testing
• PLL Bandwidth testing
• Report generation

Teledyne LeCroy provides full application support for all integrated electrical test solutions.

The Anritsu SQA-R MP1900A is a high-speed BERT solution. In one box, it combines:

• Jitter and noise generation
• High quality waveform PPG with integrated 10-tap emphasis
• High input sensitivity ED with clock recovery
• Variable CTLE and link negotiation functions required for PCIe Rx tests

With time and temperature jitter drift of less than +/- 2% (2 days, +/- 5 deg), the MP1900A has the highest signal quality for the most repeatable results.
